      I honestly haven't seen anybody complain that there's nothing to watch, have you? Would you really say that people are in shock over the total lack of television available?

      I mean, in the past week or so, I've seen new episodes of Only Murders in the Building, Futurama, Bob's Burgers, The Simpsons, Sex Education, Adventure Time, Archer, Tacoma FD, Star Trek Lower Decks, and Tacoma FD. That's just the shows I'm tracking, I'm sure I missed something good. On Thursday, we're getting new seasons of Loki and Our Flag Means Death. and HBO cancelled Winning Time mid-season because they really weren't that desperate for a few extra episodes.

      Are subscriptions down? My friends don't seem too upset about the "shocking lack of content" that seems to exist in your head.

        Now? No. Because they still have things they can release. When those run out, and they will relatively soon, they will be in trouble.

          They've been pacing themselves. They planned for the strike well before it started. It's not going to dry up suddenly the day the actors get back to work.
