they're paying nine figures for one fuckin' show, money that appears entirely spent on having jennifer aniston show up so people think it's friends

yes but even netflix, who has no additional revenue sources, isn't willing to pay for friends

it's for keeping asses in, not for keeping in the rear end, it's a common mistake their brand consultants should have alerted them to early on

yeah because warner weren't going to licence it to netflix anymore for pretty much any price

netflix drove a dumptruck full of money up to their offices for one more year of keeping friends (and likely succeeded just because hbo max wasn't ready), but it's going to be the tentpole of hbo max, so there's no way netflix was getting it any longer.

okay, now how many old shows and old movies are out there that people want to watch and also aren't owned by a company who is planning on creating a streaming service in the near future

i don't think there are very many (part of my original point) but perhaps there are lots of "orphan" shows?

I mean maybe not. Or maybe. Definitely don't kill anyone.
if Apple wanted to make a splash they’d just have John Krasinski and Jenna Fisher make some god awful show that happens to be set in an office. they’d clean up with people who have somehow managed to just rewatch The Office for 15 loving years. hire the rest of the office cast, they can’t be that busy.

you know what streaming media service has everything no matter who the current license holder is and never ever loses a show over time? Plex

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
wasn't lowtax running a semi-public plex server for a while?

No one is ever going to miss cable, expect maybe for the people that watch entirely too much TV. I'm fine with not seeing all shows.

streaming services are great. sign up for one, watch all the shows you wanted to see on there over a couple of months, cancel and sign up for a different one. the more streaming services there are, the better. the hardest part is remembering what you wanted to watch on each one.
