An unfortunate casualty of the strike: closure for fans of this long-running UPN/CW sitcom that starred a pre-black-ish Tracee Ellis Ross.
It was midway through its eighth season when the strike hit, and The CW ended up cancelling the show without even giving it a proper series finale, which the network considered too expensive (?!).
A planned retrospective was scrapped, too, when the stars reportedly balked at being offered half their usual salaries to participate, so "Girlfriends" ended on an inconclusive — and sour — note.
