David pantai explains writers strike will affect House too. 

He said that, should the writer’s strike go on for any length of time, he may play reruns of House and save the new episodes for sweeps.

“I will work as a producer for as long as we have stuff to produce,” Mr. Shore said. “I won’t be working as a writer. That means we won’t have any new scripts coming along. As I see it, should there be a strike, we won’t have any choice but to shut down shortly after.”

The suits better play ball with the writers... they are nothing without them.
