Effect of Writers Strike

In November 2007 the WGA (Writers Guild America) went on strike. However, the season was originally going to have 23 episodes but due to the strike only 17 episodes were finished after Treehouse of Horror XVIII aired which was the last episode before the strike. Luckily, episodes will still have post-production as FOX will edit the scripts after production is finished.
