You can download the NBC app and watch the new eps the day after they air. I'm pretty sure that works with their other shows as well.

What's the skinny for us Internet-only cord cutters? I only got into the show a few months ago and binged it on Amazon Video. It sounds like there's usually a year's (!) delay on it coming to streaming services? Is NBC still stuck in the stone age with "must have actual TV service to watch in any fashion"?
You can tune in over-the-air using an antenna! Unless you don’t live within range of an NBC station?

Alternatively, watch it on Hulu the next day. Or subscribe to NBC’s streaming service, Peacock, because of course NBC is going to follow CBS in making you pay for yet another streaming service.

All they’re really doing is ensuring that people start pirating, again. As long as one could catch up on their TV with one or maybe two streaming subs, there was little incentive to bother downloading shows. Good work, you greedy boobs :shuckyes:

They go up on Netflix in the US as a full season a number of months after the season ends (S3 just went up recently), but again, I’m not sure where that stands with the Peacock announcement. Netflix US doesn’t do any of the other weekly releases of current shows like they do in the rest of the world, as far as I’m aware.

Doesn't that require a TV sub login of some kind? Those apps usually do. The FAQ on NBC's site implies this as well.

I always forget Hulu exists. Good to keep in mind, thanks - guess we'll see if it actually makes it there this season. Peacock doesn't appear slated to launch til April 2020, but that doesn't mean they aren't already aiming for it re: licensing agreements or lack thereof...

I only watch a handful of contemporary shows but I may as well see what it takes to run an antenna in this modern age, just in case it's worth it. Otherwise, yea, I might just dust off the ol' :filez: :smith: it's so dumb that we've arrived at this place where that's preferable over spending, well, a cable subscription's worth (or more!) for a multitude of independent streaming subs.

I find Schur's work very uneven. I dropped Brooklyn 99 after the first season and Parks and Rec is about 50% split between bad and good seasons.
But I will give the new show a shot purely because of the Good Place.

I agree that Parks and Rec came back strong, but part of the reason the last season was so good was because it had been pretty bad for 1-2 seasons before that, and everybody was expecting more of the same.

I just have weird opinions when it comes to american comedies. I absolutely loved Glee when it first came on, but it started going downhill during the later parts of season 1. And that is how I feel about most of them, Better off Ted and the Good Place are the only two exceptions.

UK Netflix seems to post the new eps about 8am the next day, so they’re pretty speedy.

Oh no, I feel exactly the same way about Glee. It started out as this very subversive, fairly black comedy with all diegetic music (ie, everyone singing was actually singing as a performance or practice). Then in the back half of the season, characters started singing like they were in proper musicals, (ie, singing their hearts out in the hallways with no-one else noticing). Basically it turned into the thing it was parodying, and became much weaker for it. That’s when I checked out.

I just did a rewatch over the last couple weeks, and I dunno, I feel like it stayed pretty strong til the end. Seasons 5-6 were a little bit directionless once Leslie left the councilman seat, but they were still very much worth watching. (Although they did hit that awkward spot where half the cast is marrying the other half of the cast and they all had a baby together at basically the same time.) It was still a sweet, funny show till the end.

e: I also don't think that's a very uncommon opinion about Glee.

Really? I know a lot of people soured on Glee but at the time it seemed like the audience was all for making it a full on musical. I hated the bait-and-switch and thought I was in the minority. "We're totally reinventing the musical, j/k we really wanted to do a bog standard musical all along."

Glee's a Ryan Murphy show. It couldn't be its authentic self without spending a couple episodes mugging to the camera and saying "lol lmao isn't it so dumb when people do this lol wouldn't it be like so funny if like we did this lol nobody likes this tho hey haha lmao but like what if we tried it out lmbo what if we tried it oUT?"
