Part 2/7:
During the previous strike, audiences eagerly awaited the return of their favorite shows and eagerly demanded that studios resolve their disputes. Public pressure mounted, pushing studios to prioritize ending the strike quickly. Today, however, the landscape has shifted dramatically.
People are not clamoring for late-night talk shows and scripted content to return. In fact, these shows have been off-air for over three months, and there appears to be widespread indifference. The general public seems to have moved on or become disillusioned with the very content they once eagerly consumed. The absence of empathy or urgency underscores a broader alienation from Hollywood's output.
