I swear to God if you post that pirate song one more time...
-------------------- Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. The courage to change the things I cannot accept. And the wisdom to hide the bodies of all the people I had to kill today because they pissed me off.

I think it was also to do with digitally released media (itunes, webisodes etc) from which they were getting fuck all. As I recall the studios were bleating on about them not having a good financial model for the market yet. All the while raking in the itune, net TV on demand type services and advertising revenue.
As for the impact it's had on TV shows, I think it about killed the new Bionic Woman series...which I'm not too broken up about as it was very wobbly on it's legs from the start and Katee Sackhoff's character was REALLY annoying and sometimes the dialogue was just painful. Heroes on the other hand probably needed the break to figure out what to do next as it was in danger of fizzling out after a strong first season, so it may have been for the better.
...it also just occurred to me that with a lack of new scripts coming in, Caprica may be given a second chance as I'm pretty sure that was all set & scripted.

You know, it was driving me nuts trying to figure out where that was from, and it finally came to me! (And I didn't even use IMDB or Google!)
