The writers strike continues and according to this report many people on the inside don't expect it to end before September.

It's a problem for currently running shows that people are already invested in.

It happened during the last writers strike when I was enjoying Battlestar Galactica and then we got the Chubby Lee storyline arc out of nowhere. Heroes was another show hit bad.

But yeah, the old media is still there although this will have lasting impacts into the future for current shows. I don't feel it's productive to be that dismissive towards the effects of this strike.

I always wondered what happened to Hero’s.

Writer's strike back then happened. Now that's a piece of media that will go unfinished for the rest of time because of it. Writer's strikes do have consequences unlike the original commenter seemed to imply. I support them, but it still sucks for anybody who cares about shows being made currently. The execs need to pull their heads out of their asses.
