According to “Entertainment Weekly’s Strike Survey” (a nationwide poll commissioned by America’s leading consumer magazine of entertainment and popular culture), men and women across the board are looking beyond Hollywood – and away from the silver screen — to keep themselves entertained:

• • • Nearly half (44%) have been watching less TV;
    • 40% have been reading more books;
    • 39% have been watching more re-runs
    • 38% have been watching more DVDs;
    • 36% are listening to more music;
    • 34% are watching more news programming;
    • 27% are getting more sleep;
    • 23% are going online more;
    • 21% are reading more magazines;
    • 19% are watching more On-Demand television and movies;
    • 18% are watching more reality TV;
    • 12% are watching more late night TV;
    • 10% are going to the movies more;
    • 9% are spending more money on entertainment;
    • 9% are having more sex;
    • and 4% are fighting with their spouse more.

With the strike in mind, the national survey also asked Americans if they knew what the acronym WGA stood for. Surprisingly, only 34% of Americans could correctly identify the WGA as the Writer’s Guild of America. In fact, 20% of those surveyed believed the WGA was a women’s professional golf association!
