That's not what I was getting at. Yes I watch sports highlights after work. That's maybe a couple of times a week. My question was about having time to watch the amount of shows people watch. From the way it sounds for most people is other than work, they are home bodies.You answered your own question: you choose sports highlights
And with a lot of people now WFH, including work which is amplifies that effect.That's not what I was getting at. Yes I watch sports highlights after work. That's maybe a couple of times a week.

My wife and I binge watch things we like, since regular TV sucks. I also travel a ton for work, so when I am out alone and sitting in a Hotel, its a great time to sit and watch things. ITs how I got through all of Game of Thrones for exampleThat's not what I was getting at. Yes I watch sports highlights after work. That's maybe a couple of times a week.

Correct. And some homebodies with children () still can't figure out how to binge watch tv shows. But part of my problem is figuring out which of the thousands of options spread among multiple services I should watch. It's easier to just go to youtube sometimes and watch concert videos....From the way it sounds for most people is other than work, they are home bodies.
That is my issue as well, back in the day I knew what I would be watching Thursday at 8pm during the "season". Now I have to find something to try to watch. I like scheduled TV best I thinkCorrect.

I’m glad to hear you say that! That was my exact thought when I signed up for Disney+ “I want to watch the Apple Dumpling Gang.” The nostalgia for our age group watching the Disney Channel in the 80’s was a great hook!... And I think most of that content does not get watched by the majority of their subscribers.
I know watching the "Apple Dumpling Gang" was fun when D+ first launched and my aunt enjoyed watching the original "That Darn Cat" on Christmas that first year while I humored it and my son ignored it while playing with his new toys but it's difficult to imagine their back-catalog is doing a whole lot to keep modern audiences hooked.... at least the 60% that, according to stats MrPenguin cited, are households without children.
We did that for 25 years and thank god it's over. Empty nesters now and typically once we are home from work, we are in for the night.I get how it happens. My question was how people have time to do that? Do people stay home more now? For my family during the week we busy with work and after school stuff to really have time to watch much. On days off we usually are out doing things.
“…i don’t know, Butthead…sounds all complicated…and stuff”I have been trying to complete my Discounted Cash Flow evaluation of the DIS before earnings just to see how i do.
In case you have never done this process the simplistic description of it is taking a guess at future free cash flows of a company to figure out if it is currently valued properly.
I can easily do this with a few segments of the business like the cruise line for example.
Once I’m outside those segments I have never been so lost in the weeds.
Let’s just take the elephant in the room D+.
Netflix just CRUSHED earnings. Not coming in slightly above predictions but crushing them.
Is D+ also going to kill it adding a record number of subs ? Is a portion of those Netflix switching over from D+?
Is there a chance $DIS falls short of projections?
I have complete respect for anyone who is looking at Disney as a value play and buying here. You have a greater vision and stronger conviction then me since I can’t figure this company out.
It’s best not to invest in company’s you have an emotional statement to.
Half of me wants Disney to miss earnings so badly it dooms Iger.
The other half just wants Disney to reclaim
It former glory and move forward into a bright future.
Maybe one can’t happen without the other.
Time will tell the story but my crystal ball is broken…
What did you make of Netflix earnings?“…i don’t know, Butthead…sounds all complicated…and stuff”
I think it raises the heat in an already hot kitchen for themWhat did you make of Netflix earnings?
Good or bad for Disney?
The NFL/ESPN thing buys Iger another quarter.I think it raises the heat in an already hot kitchen for them
Coupled with the WWE announce? You gotta spend to win. A lot
Tough breathing in a hot kitchen with a sweater on
I’m sure that was pre-emptiveThe NFL/ESPN thing buys Iger another quarter.
Perhaps. But we have no idea how that arrangement will look. Both the NFL and Disney already have a lot of heavy antitrust scrutiny - how would getting further in bed together provoke some opposition to this arrangement?The NFL/ESPN thing buys Iger another quarter.
I hear you there.Correct. And some homebodies with children () still can't figure out how to binge watch tv shows.

So if I'm reading you right, what Disney needs to do is get the streaming rights to Small Wonder and then they'll be in the black.Netflix just licensed S€X and the City from HBO…
That’s the kinda “catalogue” That pulls a draw…similar to what Max has gotten with Friends
If some will recall…I suggest Scott Stuber to be part of the new Disney briantrust years ago…
And it wasn’t JUST about Molly
How much did Google pay for Sunday Ticket? And Amazon (using NBC for talent and broadcast crews) for TNF? I bet they won’t be happy.I’m sure that was pre-emptive
But as with all things D…no details. We don’t know it they’re being paid or paying?
Never a straight answer
Here’s where you win at the big game…like James Bond in Montenegro…
Buy the nfl NOW…take it to stream…or a significant chunk of it.
We talking $50 Bil and up. But that is gonna be the prize down the road. Just do it, Nike
That’s why you just get in there and blow it out of the waterHow much did Google pay for Sunday Ticket? And Amazon (using NBC for talent and broadcast crews) for TNF? I bet they won’t be happy.
