History

Historical Context

During the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, scripted production stopped across U.S. networks. Networks cut season orders, as shown by 24, which aired only eight of its 24 episodes, and Battlestar Galactica, which aired the first ten episodes before the strike. The disruption pushed networks toward unscripted or Canadian-written series and to tighten communication protocols for future scheduling.
