Are animated sitcoms being affected by this?

I don't know why they wouldn't be. They rely on scripts as much as any other show...
Personally, I'm really hoping they'll pack it in soon. I know a lot of writers don't earn much, and could use the extra money they're asking for... but that's the risk you take when you get involved with Hollywood (or the music business. Or pretty much anything else related to entertainment). There are plenty of actors, musicians, directors, etc. who are paid very, very poorly and are lucky even to find that work. Why should writers get special treatment? And in any case, they're ready to put a lot of innocent people out of work just to make these demands.
Sorry if I'm being cruel, but... I do not sympathize with the writers. Even if I like what they produce. Even though I write (not screenplays) myself. End of story.
