TV Guide's reporters (like Matt Roush? Rush? argh!) suspect that Reaper won't survive the strike because the main story is not interesting enough to keep the show going and the ratings keep dropping, week by week.

But what in his opinion would the CW put on next fall? They just cancelled Life is Wild, Smallville may be gone and they will have no new Pilots to show whatsoever. They don`t have one single project in development. Also they can`t even fill all nights as it is at the moment.

Their reality shows are either fading or bombing so going heavy reality won`t be an option either.
If they cancel one more, they won`t have a schedule to speak of.
