"The Office" showrunner Greg Daniels has joined the picket line at his production company's Van Nuys location in an attempt to shut down production of his show.

"We're trying to shut down 'The Office,'" Mr. Daniels said. "We have the star of our show and the entire writing staff behind us."

Mr. Daniels said there's only one unproduced "Office" script that's ready to go, but it's a good one. "Last week we had our best table reading of the entire run of the show, and that's what we were going to shoot this week," he said.

"30 Rock" writer/star/mastermind/showrunner Tina Fey is also picketing her own show.

Reportedly, Tim Kring wouldn't comply with a weekend rewrite that would tack a season ending onto the last script written and is now off Heroes.

An email from "Grey's Anatomy"/"Private Practice" mastermind Shonda Rhimes:

I have to tell all of you that this email directly reflects the stance I came to over a very long night in New York. I absolutely believed that I would edit our episodes. Until a thought hit me: how can I walk a picket line and then continue to essentially work? How am I supposed to look at myself in the mirror or look at my child years from now and know that I did not have the courage of my convictions to stand up and put myself more at risk than anyone else? So I choose not to render my services as a producer. I choose to honor the strike. And I am proud that you all stand with me.

Shawn Ryan, showrunner on CBS' "The Unit" and FX's "The Shield," is also staying out of the office and on the picket line with "Unit" star Robert Patrick.
