5.) – Writer’s Strike Authorized, May Delay Fall Shows, Including CWTV
- A decade ago, the writer’s strike severally impacted the television landscape, causing many shows to cut their seasons almost in half. This past year saw the looming threat of yet another strike, which, if it had taken place, would have definitely caused delays and, most likely, shortened seasons for all of our favorite DC shows. Thankfully, they were able to come to a deal before anything was adversely affected.
Not only did we have some big news stories this year, we also had some great celebrity interviews and reviews of DC content. Check out the top viewed interview and review on the site for the year 2017:
