Fictional TV shows are usually kept separate from reality, but sometimes real-life events are too prominent to ignore. For this list, we’ll be looking at TV series whose plotlines and/or schedules were significantly altered due to real-world events. Our countdown includes the 9/11 attacks impacting “Friends” (1994-2004), “That ’70s Show” (1998-2006) dealing with Tommy Chong’s arrest, the 2007-08 Writers Guild of America Strike’s impact on “Friday Night Lights” (2006-11), and more! Did any of these unusual changes affect your love for these shows? Let us know in the comments.
