Strike's Over! What's back when and how many?

Nw that the writers; strike is over, the biggest question is when will new episodes air -- and how many? TV Guide has updated the chart I linked to a few weeks ago, and renamed it the "Strike Recovery Chart" -- and it answers those questions pretty thoroughly, so check it out here.

Here's a few standouts --

• Saturday Night Live is back on Feb. 23 -- and Tina Fey is hosting
• Speaking of Fey, 5 or 6 new episodes of 30 Rock will start airing on April 10
• NBC's other Thursday night comedies are also returning on April 10 -- 6 episodes of The Office and 4 remaining episodes of Scrubs (the fate of the final to-be-shot episodes of Scrubs is undetermined)
• My Name is Earl returns a week earlier with 8-10 episodes, possibly including more hour- long eps. Ugh.
• The Unit and Chuck are done for the season, but both should be back in the fall
• But not Bionic Woman or Journeyman -- both are cancelled
• 6 new episodes of CSI will begin on April 3
• 4 pre-strike episodes of Smallville have not aired; 5 new ones will be shot to air in April and May
• The air date for the final season of The Shield has yet to be announced

Star Trek movie delayed til next summer

"Star Wars: The Clone Wars" to debut in theatres

Update: here's a new trailer.

Now here is some pretty cool news! The CG-animated series that takes place between Episodes 2 and 3 of the Star Wars saga, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, will debut as a feature film in theatres on August 15 before moving to television on the Cartoon Network and TNT in Fall 2008. A behind-the-scenes documentary with plenty of footage from the series can be seen here.

From the announcement:

On the front lines of an intergalactic struggle between good and evil, fans young and old will join such favorite characters as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padmé Amidala along with brand-new heroes like Anakin's padawan learner, Ahsoka. Sinister villains -- led by Darth Sidious, Count Dooku and General Grievous -- are poised to rule the galaxy. Stakes are high, and the fate of the Star Wars universe rests in the hands of the daring Jedi Knights. Their exploits lead to the action-packed battles and astonishing new revelations that fill Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Thirty 30-minute episodes have already been produced, and production continues on even more.
