Watched something on Pee+ recently, and the app was acting up, even on the Apple TV box. I am scared to try to tackle some of the Pee+ series as a result...  :E

They really should not have recast this role - they should have figured out a way to write out Gabi semi-permanently.  >:/

And, yet, when I made that very point on Reddit - that it would obviously go to Peacock - I was massively downvoted for it. (Idiots.)

‘Young Sheldon’ Drew Cross-Platform Audiences In May; Cable Viewership Dipped Thanks To Lack Of Sports  (June 18)
 https://deadline.com/2024/06/young-sheldon-sports-cable-viewership-may-nielsen-the-gauge-1235977398/
 ["Streaming accounted for 38.8% of all TV usage in May, with Netflix taking the second-highest share at 7.6%. That is far higher than its streaming competitors, including Max and Paramount+, which both took a 1.2% share. The only platform to rival Netflix is YouTube, which stands at the top of the list with a 9.7% share.
 Nielsen reports that TV usage was up year-over-year, but it was down on a monthly basis. While streaming usage climbed 8% since last year overall, FAST platforms in particular saw significant growth. Tubi usage was up 43%, and The Roku Channel saw a 36% increase compared with May 2023.

And the Tubi app has been glitching on me lately, for the first time...  :/

Broadcast viewing was also elevated just slightly.
 Meanwhile, cable was down to just 28.2% of usage. In a month lacking sports, it’s to be expected that cable would take a hit."]

Start eliminating cable channels!! This shouldn't be hard to figure out!
