Maddie and David may be back together, but “Moonlighting” fans won’t be seeing them in 3-D this season because of the writers strike, ABC confirmed Friday. In conjunction with Coca-Cola, the network had planned to air a 3-D “Moonlighting” special during the May ratings sweeps, but the strike, which the show lampooned in an episode a few weeks ago, forced ABC to postpone the idea. “After exhausting all of our options, we have concluded that to go forward without an original script would not be in the best interests of ‘Moonlighting,’ our viewers, or Coca-Cola,” said Ted Harbert, an ABC vice president.
