TV Networks Adapt to Writers' Strike with Unscripted and Uncertain Futures
TL;DR
ABC unveils its fall schedule with a focus on unscripted series such as Dancing with the Stars and a new Bachelor spinoff, as the network takes a realistic approach given the current writers strike. The schedule has no original scripted titles, instead saving them for a hopeful midseason bow. ABC is the only broadcast network to have a fully strike-proof schedule. The network is hopeful that its tranche of shows can return midseason but is mindful of designating slots given the current situation with the writers.
