Interesting poll and commentary here about the relative ratings of TDS and TCR before and after the hiatus:

I watch but didn't join this asylum -- so I'm not actually sure if I can make a post or not, LOL. I'll go check and if I can, I'll make a post, but if not, I thought you might want to.

	If there aren't any writers, then how are there new episodes? Do Jon and Stephen just write their own shows now? (Reply to this) (Thread)

I'm not *entirely* sure how it works; Jon and Stephen are both guild members, so they're not supposed to be writing. I know they've been improvising to some degree, and TDS has aired a few correspondent pieces that were ready before the strike. Parts of the shows certainly do still seem scripted - I'm not sure who's doing that or exactly to what degree it's planned in advance, though.

But the talks apparently went really well this week! Hopefully it'll be over soon ...
