The Honolulu Advertiser newspaper is reporting that production on "Lost" is heating up again in the Hawaiian islands.

The cast is reportedly due back on March 10, which is just 10 days before the last completed episode will air.

"Lost" was a casualty of the writers strike, returning this spring to ABC with only eight of its planned 16 episodes to complete the current season. An ABC spokesperson has said the network plans to complete only five more episodes to air this spring, beginning April 24.

Two days after its premiere on NBC, the Internet-to-broadcast series ‘‘quarterlife’’ is moving to Bravo, sources say.

The series will complete its run on NBC Universal’s cable network, adding another stop on the show’s remarkable tour of media distribution outlets: from MySpace, to an MTV preview, to NBC’s broadcast network, to Bravo.

Five one-hour episodes remain in the original network order. The episodes are based on 38 eight-minute shorts that first ran online.

On Tuesday, the NBC premiere of ‘‘quarterlife’’ marked the network’s worst time-period performance in the 10 p.m. hour in at least 17 years, averaging a 1.3 rating/4 share among adults 18 to 49 and 3.1 million viewers.

You don’t have to stay up past midnight to enjoy your late-night shows.

Material from David Letterman, Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel and Conan O’Brien is increasingly turning into viral video on the Web. Long secluded in the wee hours of the night, these funnymen are now, with the help of a click or two, finding laughs in the waking hours.

They’re often a hit, too, and none more so than Kimmel has been recently.

NBC also said its prime-time schedule will begin returning to life with new episodes of “My Name Is Earl” starting April 3. “The Office,” “Scrubs” and “ER” will be back April 10. And then come the “Law & Orders”: “SVU” on April 15 and the original on April 23.

The network also said freshman dramas “Chuck” and “Life” have been renewed for next season.

CBS has set return dates for 14 prime-time series, including ‘‘CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,’’ ‘‘How I Met Your Mother’’ and ‘‘Two and a Half Men.’’

NBC’s ‘‘Saturday Night Live,’’ the only late-night show completely shelved by the writers’ strike, is planning a Feb. 23 return if the writers ratify a contract agreement and head back to work.

No guests have been announced for the return, but today some hosts were announced: Tina Fey on Feb. 23 and Ellen Page on March 1.

At long last, the writers strike could be over this week. We've heard from readers who bucked up and stood with the writers during their strike — holding out for a share of digital and new media royalties — and readers who quickly soured on the glut of reality TV and scolded the writers for holding the industry hostage.

We writers here at a unionized newspaper, well, most of us are happy the country was reminded that writers have value and that life suffers a little without their stories.

But how do you feel? Did the strike accomplish anything? Was it worth it? What are you most excited to see return to the small screen?

Well, aside from the obvious — the books I'm reading, the conversations I'm having with my spouse, the meals we're actually eating at the table — this drought of new material on the tube has led me to some watering holes I wouldn't otherwise have found. ...
