Comment on It’s A Deal! WGA & AMPTP Reach Tentative Agreement To End Writers Strike
ram@bookwormstory.social 1 year agoGood point! I also think it’s interesting this is days after several talk shows ended up being pressured into staying off the air pending the WGA strikes. Could be that they were gonna try using talk shows to normalize scabbing until the unilateral public backlash made it clear they wouldn’t get their way?

Whether or not it was that calculated, the backlash and pullout showed the producers they were going to have a hard time filling the schedule with unscripted reality shows and ad-libbed talk shows. Especially if they couldn’t get anyone with any talent in improvising to “not act” in them.
