Nail-biting serial "24" has become the first series to be postponed, and possibly canceled, because of the writer's strike. This week, Fox became the first major broadcast network to come out with its "writer's strike schedule." It is easiest for Fox to arrange, since it has fewer primetime hours and is "reality-based," with up to half its programming in the genre - including "American Idol," America's most-watched series. Reality shows are not affected by the strike.
