Let’s see, a kickass "Survivor" - unless you prefer "Ugly Betty" or "My Name Is Earl" and "Scrubs" - followed by the first "The Office" since Jim showed us the engagement ring, followed by "30 Rock" - unless you prefer "Grey’s Anatomy" or "CSI" - followed by the return of "Lost." All new for the launch of May sweeps! And that’s not even mentioning "Without a Trace" or "Smallville" and the return of "Supernatural." Scripted television is back, baybee! On a night like this, that strike seems a distant memory. But we have a few hours to kill first. So here are a couple things to read…

I’m looking forward to the return of "My Name Is Earl" on NBC next Thursday. I even like the sound of the episode. I’m just a little nervous about one particular guest star. But hey, "How I Met Your Mother" didn’t jump the shark just because Britney Spears was on, right? Right?
Here’s the official NBC episode description: Earl (Jason Lee) is still lying in the middle of the road next to Billie (Alyssa Milano), both of whom are unconscious after being hit by a car. The accident puts Earl in a coma and takes him to an alternate world in the form of a sitcom. Meanwhile, Randy (Ethan Suplee), Darnell (Eddie Steeples), Joy (Jaime Pressly) and Catalina (Nadine Velazquez) begin doing whatever they can to ensure Earl lives. After several attempts, Earl continues to be stuck in a fevered state and is visited by Paris Hilton in his dream.

Awesome. "My Name Is Earl" creator Greg Garcia spent the strike month of January working at a fast food restaurant. Not to gather fodder for the further adventures of Earl Hickey, he said, just to get back in touch with the peeps who watch his show and maybe prime the pump for a book. The dude cleaned the bathrooms! And gave a new pal a $10,000 check on the way out the door. Best strike story yet. (Hollywood Reporter)

NBC has announced the post-writers-strike fate of its shows. One press release unveiled premiere dates for series returning this spring. The other revealed that "Heroes," "Chuck" and "Life" will all return - but not till next fall, when they’ll be beneficiaries of "major re-launch campaigns."
Unlike CBS, the network wasn’t telling how many post-strike episodes of the spring series will be produced - with "Scrubs," in its final season, the big question mark there. Sez NBC:
"My Name Is Earl" (Thursdays, 8-8:30 p.m. ET), will return with a one-hour episode on Thursday, April 3; the Emmy Award-winning "30 Rock" (Thursdays, 8:30-9 p.m. ET) will begin on Thursday, April 10; likewise, the Emmy-winning "The Office" (Thursdays, 9-9:30 p.m. ET) also resumes with new episodes on Thursday, April 10; and "Scrubs" (Thursdays, 9:30-10 p.m. ET) will come back with original episodes beginning Thursday, April 10.
"ER" (Thursdays, 10-11 p.m. ET) also will come back on […]
