There is a strike going on in Hollywood. And the Writers’ strike is probably going to be the first one. Chances are either the DGA or SAG are going to follow suit in the next few months.
Therefore the networks have had this in mind as they planned for the Fall. CBS is going on as is. NBC had a few shows in the bank. Fox is yet to announce their schedule. And today, ABC revealed that they are going all reality, game shows, and repeats.
And that makes me wonder, are people going to tune in for that, or will they watch something original on streaming?
I mean, old people on The Bachelor, aka The Golden Bachelor, could be fun. Or it could get old, pun intended, quickly.
Although I have to admit, Disney and ABC played this round well. Because they are trying to tell everyone that they are not afraid of your strike because they will find ways around it.
However, we won’t know if they won that round for a few months. I am hoping they lose because I prefer scripted over unscripted. What about you?
