I think they grossly overestimate their bargaining position. When all you produce is woke garbage that almost no one wants to see, you not only have zero leverage but you’d actually be doing everyone a favor by going away.

They killed the goose that laid the golden eggs, and now it’s been so long since anyone remembers seeing an actual golden egg that we’ve all moved on to other things. Good luck ever getting us back.

No, they don't. So long as Netflix, Apple+, Amazon Prime, etc., produce woke crap, they'll need to hire stars.

The question is not, do audiences want to see woke crap. The question is, will the oligarchs keep paying to produce it. And the answer is yes, they will.

I would agree. None of the big guys see much reason to offer improved numbers.

So when what happens with the fall TV season? Do they run repeats from 1970s?
