Never because I stopped watching American shows and moved on to Korean where the quality, acting and stories are superior and I dont have to see a story getting milked dry. Most shows end after a season or two.

I mean my backlog will last me at least a decade with how much free time I get.
Network TV / streaming shows take the immediate hit hence nothing but game shows and reality shit for the foreseeable future. We probably have a pipeline of 12 months of theatrical releases that won’t be effected. But the lull will come about a year to a year and a half down the line depending on how quickly it gets resolved.

Bruh, this is the spin? Korean drama are thrash tier, unless you mean something like IRIS.

Go back and watch old stuff. It’s generally so much better. The late 90s and early to mid 00s were the golden era.

There are so many shows of the past that we can last years. Also we got hundreds of quality productions from rest of the world.

The great part of having all these fantastics video games, mostly from 1998 and forward, is that I'm decades behind on great TV!

Much like the WWE, the behind the scenes stuff is far more entertaining than the show these days.

When was the last actual good critically acclaimed show, anyway? The Last of Us, probably. House of the Dragon, maybe? Even that seems to have come and gone.
There's just so much trash and so little quality I hardly think this strike is going to make a difference. On the output, yes, but the absence of quality, not really.

I can catch up on a lot of things now. But I think it is already noticeable now. Loki was supposed to come out at this time and Severance 2 season, which I really wanted to see, is no longer coming out.
I think Netflix will have it the easiest, because they have a lot of international series / movies. They will probably focus more on international stuff and there you will hardly notice it.
For the others, however, it looks bleak. I guess until the end of the year they still have something to show. Things that still need to be cut and where cgi is still unfinished, after that it will be an entertainment desert.

Loki was always late 2023, around The Marvels (probably because of what happens at the end of that movie).

Wasn't Loki postponed because of Jonathan Majors? Somehow I thought it was supposed to come out right now.

No it was always late 2023.

I don’t really watch much of anything. In the short free-time I have I usually play games. The game industry is getting pretty stale but I have access to so many preexisting games that I’m not worried about it.

Then re-watch the old shows?

I think this is a good thing, even for the industry at large. It needs a break. Everything is so oversaturated. If it needs to be a forced reset, so be it.

I would want to agree with you, but after the Covid years, I'm not so sure they're doing so well. And Disney has had a lot of flops in a row right now.

I've got a few to watch, but there isn't as many good shows as there were years ago anyway in my opinion, i haven't been watching the amount i use to 10+ years ago and longer, so it won't be that different really for me.

-OP just wants a question answered.
-95% of the people who are coming into the thread are thinking he is wanting to be reassured in order to cope, and they give advice instead.
-OP clarifies and says he just wants a timeline estimate.
-People continue to discuss how Hollywood sucks and provide OP life advice instead.

How the fuck is anyone on NeoGAF.com going to give a timeline estimate on a Hollywood writer/actor strike as if anyone here has any clue what the hell is going on in that regard?
I mean, what kind of answers are you expecting on this forum?

I'm not the OP, but to semi-answer, you'd just have to give a take based off of the last strike and it's impact and then make an estimate from there.
I mainly found it funny that people were instead ignoring the OP and telling him answers ranging from 'read a book' to 'watch old 90s shows' to 'stop watching TV' as if he was reaching out for help lol.

Thanks, I'll take a look at those. Which one is the best to start?

Idk.
But another related thought…
As much as I would dislike it…
I would have a bit of a chuckle if this “writer’s strike” ended up causing all the studios to ramp up using AI scripts, and stop paying oodles to legacy, tired actors and brought in eager fresh blood, and in 6 months we began to see fully AI generated scripts being run by less egotistical Hollywood actors.
It’d be QUITE. THE. DOOZY. Eh?
