Not all bad things happened out of the writers strike, Strike TV is launching with a collection of 40 shows that were inspired out of the writers strike.

Variety reported that the shows for the initial release will be:
- “Global Warming,” starring “Saturday Night Live’s” Kirsten Wiig and “Daily Show’s” Aasif Mandvi;
- “Unknown Sender,” penned by Steven de Souza and starring Timothy Dalton and Joanne Whalley;
- “House Poor,” created by “Office” writer-producer Lester Lewis;
- “The Challenge,” starring Bob Newhart and penned by sitcom vet Lloyd Garver;
- “Five or Die,” written and directed by horror movie vet Tom Holland;
- “John’s Hand,” starring Garret Dillahunt and Kali Rocha.

We like the fact that Strike TV will donate it’s first three months earnings, though as anyone knows the first three months are usually the lowest earning months. The cost before launch has been less than 10 grand due to the fact that producers of the shows absorb all the costs.
