Don't know how I didn't find this before, but the LA Times has got a grid of which shows have how many scripts. So, some of the biggies:

Late Night

Almost all of the late night shows, including Letterman, Leno, Stewart and Colbert, go into repeats immediately. Hey, we've still got "Nightline", right?


ABC

"Lost" appears to have eight episodes (out of a 16 episode run) completed, or will once shooting is done on finished scripts. "Grey's Anatomy" will have 11 to 13, "Pushing Daisies" 9. I worry about the fate of "Pushing Daisies" if this strike drags on; it has won its time slot consistently but hasn't been any kind of runaway hit. It could lose momentum and find itself cancelled.

CBS

Do they still have television shows on CBS?

NBC

"Earl" has 13 episodes completed, and "Scrubs" is expected to finish 12 out of 18.

CW & Cable

"Everybody Hates Chris" (CW), "Monk" (USA), "The Wire" (HBO), and "The Shield" (FX) are either completely written or already finished filming. The biggie (as far as I'm concerned) is "Battlestar Galactica" (Sci Fi). Television's best show has ten episodes good to go, and after that . . . who knows. Yikes.
