I've heard networks are putting together some shows with writers outside of America... (From WSJ):
With the Hollywood writers strike cutting off traditional supply lines for new scripted television shows, NBC executives said yesterday that they will fill out the network's prime-time schedule with reruns from sibling cable network USA and with shows that are being produced outside the U.S., with staffs of "international writers" independent of the Writers Guild of America.
Coupled with the return of NBC late-night hosts Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien on Jan. 2, these moves should do much to help insulate the network from the effects of a protracted strike, the executives said. NBC is a unit of General Electric Co.'s NBC Universal, which also owns a string of cable channels, including USA, Bravo and Sci-Fi.
Executives at other broadcast networks are contemplating similar moves, including working with overseas production studios and using nonunion writers if the strike drags on much longer, according to people involved in these discussions. Hopes that the strike, already six weeks old, would end soon have faded since the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents the studios, walked out of the last round of negotiations on Dec. 7.

The actors backed the writers heavily, so I expect the writers will do the same. Expect LOTS of scripts to pour in before June 30th.
Also, if that strike happens, expect even more reality TV.

Conan seems to be a fantastically talented writer, whether it's him making shit up in his head a fraction of a second before delivery or an actual script. Pretty much every episode of "The Simpsons" that he wrote was a classic.

Shame he didn't live long enough to see it come true.

I think broadcast TV is in a tough spot. They have certain restrictions that keeps them from making a Game of Thrones that most cable entities don't have. Networks have to keep things PG-13.
Although, they do have their pay services where they can build more mature content.
