1981 Writers Guild of America strike

The 1981 Writers Guild of America strike was a 3-month strike action taken to establish compensation in the then-new markets of "pay TV" and home video by 8,500 Writers Guild of America members. The strike lasted 92 days, beginning on April 11, 1981 and ending July 12, 1981, as a result, most scripted television series started much later than originally planned.
