Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:You can add HBOMax to your Hulu account. As near as I can tell, that gives you the HBO stuff but not the HBOMax stuff. Which is a distinction that I absolutely don’t understand but if I search for looney tunes on Hulu it comes up empty, and I know that one is HBO max.

I feel like the networks purposely hold back some stuff from those Hulu/Amazon channels specifically so you can't just end around their app/paying them directly/upping their numbers.

I just wanted to watch Lovecraft and the Spectrum app doesn't have it OnDemand even though it played 2 days ago. I have my folks HBO login but maybe that'll work on Hulu or Prime. I don't fuckin know.

The dispute between Time Warner and Roku and Amazon is exactly that. Time Warner doesn't want to give a cut of their sub fee to Roku and Amazon. They also want their content exclusively within their own app and not some aggregate content pane along other things.

The login should get you into the HBO Max website and then you could plug your computer into your TV if you have a HDMI convertor or do a screen mirror or something.

I got invited to watch the entire Quibi series called "The Stranger". It's all 13 episodes stitched into one long 90ish minute movie. I"m 7 minutes into the first episode and this poo poo is loving creepy as hell

Go to the HBOMax website and create an account, it'll give you the option to login through your Hulu account. Then you can go straight to HBOMax and watch whatever you want!

TNG season 2 was pretty great, I would say the highs of season 1 were higher and lows were lower... ...but the low of season 2 is pretty goddamned low. What an abysmal last episode. What the gently caress happened? "Oh we ran out of budget so here's Riker's Greatest Hits and some random footage we scrounged from the cutting room floor." I probably wouldn't even be that mad if it wasn't the final episode of the season. I can only imagine the furor that this episode generated during the show's original run. That episode is lucky that it couldn't possibly best season 1's "Code of Honor" for Worst Episode So Far because otherwise it would easily take the razzie. Ugh. Just awful. I'm going for a milkshake

It’s been about a month now, maybe I’m using up all the ad buys and protecting others. Funnily enough, after posting I did finally get a Biden one too. Didn’t watch that either, but it’s the thought that counts.

It was ok, they were getting into the corrupt government angle behind it, but it was cancelled. I missed this last week, apparently The Other Two is moving to HBO Max which is a totally normal thing for a Comedy Central production to do because it's not like Viacom has a streaming service or anything. https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/the-other-two-south-side-hbo-max-comedy-central-1234734149/

Ridiculousness is somehow always playing on the TV at the place I volunteer at and I have no idea how anyone could watch that all goddamn day. By the twelfth time I hear that one lady’s laugh I want to chuck the remote at the screen.

By the twelfth time I hear that one lady’s laugh I want to chuck the remote at the screen.  Cable channels in the ~14 years since I dropped cable have basically gone to a model of showing exactly one program for 18 hours a day. Like really, I am so glad that I don't have cable because whenever I encounter it, it's all nonstop marathons of whatever program became popular, I assume in the last 10 years. When my roommate was recovering from surgery in a nursing home last year, she watched a shitload of Ridiculousness. Apparently when the nurses needed a break from having to deal with old people problems they'd just pop in and watch for a while. It certainly wasn't what I'd want to watch on the regular, but when I would drop by for lunch it wasn't terrible, I preferred the days where we watched Die Hard, Friday, and John Wick 2 though.

That definitely happened sometime in the last 10 years. I got rid of cable in 2011 and ended up with jobs or volunteer stuff where there was a communal TV in 2014. In the interim few years there was a huge spike in clip or other dirt cheap shows like Impractical Jokers where the production company could crank out a ton of episodes super cheap, then air them all day/night long. I can kind of see the background noise appeal of something like that a lot of the time and kind of wonder if the increase in smartphones had something to do with it. Like there’s more market now for something like that now, since you only half watch it while you dick around on your phone.

We never really noticed in the 90's because we were kids, and we probably didn't pay attention to much outside of Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network depending on your age. Stray outside of those channels and you were mostly on some sort of syndicated rerun along some sort of theme. Hell even in the early 2000's I remember watching non-stop Law & Order on TNT while I poo poo-posted from like 6-10, when Adult Swim kicked in. I really do not miss cable anymore as I can't imagine paying $40/mo on top of everything else, just so I can watch 8 hours of reruns, but hey, people are just non-stop streaming The Office/Friends these days..

Stray outside of those channels and you were mostly on some sort of syndicated rerun along some sort of theme. Yeah, TV has always been like this. The lifecycle of a cable network is: 1) Throw spaghetti at the wall until you find a popular show in syndication 2) Marathon the popular show as much as possible to build an audience off of the show's cult following 3) Expand on that audience with original programming, funded by the syndication marathon 4) Realize that scripted shows have diminishing returns and transition to reality tv 5) Pump out 24 hours of reality TV until your network becomes a caricature of its former self Sometimes networks can then use the reality money to jumpstart at Step 2 or 3 again, or just start over at Step 1: SyFy has been through this cycle about twice in the last twenty years. TLC went down the rabbit hole in the late 90s and has been on Step 5 ever since. swickles posted:I feel like that type of show is ripe for Netflix or Hulu to pick up though, didn't it start as a web series? I'm sure someone will pick it up. CC isn't even making new episodes of Tosh anymore.

Stray outside of those channels and you were mostly on some sort of syndicated rerun along some sort of theme. The big difference I see between the old rerun marathons and the new “shows that just run all day” is that the old ones were stuff that actually aired in prime time on a major network to be actually watched. The new stuff was basically made to be run in gigantic blocks on some cable channel like Ion all day to kind of fill the background with a tiny crew of people behind the camera. It’s the whole “let’s push reality shows so we don’t have to pay writers” thing amped up. The end result is basically the same, I guess, it’s just way more brazen about it. I don’t have much room to complain, the only reason I was going to sign up for Peacock was to have all of Law and Order available to stream in the background, but since they only have like eight seasons... nah.

Does Netflix even still save shows anymore? I can’t remember the last time they brought a network/cable show back from the dead. The only recent show I can think of that got saved by streaming was The Expanse, and that was because Bezos is a fan.
