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.[1] 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.[2][3]
