Surely the writers strike had something to do with that.

Shades of Grey was done because they had about $5 left. generally, clip shows are very cheap and are generally only made when there isn't any money left. tv producers don't like making them anymore than viewers like watching them.

Yes they do. They love them.

I didn't mean to suggest that money had nothing to do with it. Just that season 2 was terribly short on scripts. They had to come up with bottle shows to preserve cash all the time. But I think a clip show was spawned only by the unholy alliance of circumstances.

But wasn't the writer's strike taking place throughout most of the second season anyway? I seem to recall that it was several months long, at least.

Er, yes? I'm not sure I see how my contention could work, otherwise.
