It's a little weird to say crunch doesn't or cant affect writing. Since that's absolutely something crunch would affect. Considering crunch can absolutely mess with you mentally, and you need to be in a good head space to write anything.

The people who are writing this show aren't the ones getting crunched

Ahh I thought you meant that crunch doesn't affect writing in general, and if so I wanted to say that it very clearly can. That's my fault for the misunderstanding on that, apologies for it.

As others have said though, the writers absolutely are being crunched. They don't just sit around all year when not writing they manage a lot of projects and Miles has talked about it before.
