Members Vee Posted February 22 Members Share Posted February 22 That is truly weird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted February 22 Members Share Posted February 22 Perhaps that's for the purchase of the series? Because, Falcon Crest does say leaving Prime in seven days. Like, make it make sense? Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 23 Members Share Posted February 23 I can't believe they have already taken it off of Amazon Prime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 23 Members Share Posted February 23 (edited) I wonder how successful a FAST service devoted solely to re-airing old soaps would be. (I say FAST, because I, for one, abhor having to subscribe/pay money to watch TV shows, lol.) Edited February 23 by Khan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 23 Members Share Posted February 23 Didn't FreeVee do a lot of that? Prime canned it, which in turn I suspect is part of what led to the fall of the Neighbours revival. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 23 Members Share Posted February 23 (edited) FreeVee re-aired old soaps? I had no idea, lol! Basically, what I'm talking about is SoapNet, but in app form, and not restricted to the ABC shows. Whatever is out there and available, including even old episodes of international soaps! They could call it "Sudz," or "Serial Bowl," or some [!@#$%^&*] like that. Edited February 23 by Khan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 23 Members Share Posted February 23 I think Dallas and for a time Knots and FC (until recently) was FreeVee. I may be wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted February 23 Members Share Posted February 23 Dallas was on FreeVee. I still don't understand why Amazon got rid of it. Originally they made it seem like they were going to keep it but get rid of the name but they completely got rid of it. Even if those shows had low viewership, it would seem like having a subset of shows with commercials would've been better than nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 23 Members Share Posted February 23 Dallas is still there, free with ads, which makes it all the stranger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted February 23 Members Share Posted February 23 And I do believe they're the 4:3 remastered episodes, too. I'm still wondering if the 16:9 edits are coming; clearly, the Max release in 2024 did not happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 23 Members Share Posted February 23 (edited) If you ask me - and I know you didn't, lol - I think Max is in deeper trouble than even they are letting on and that it's only a matter of time before the whole operation collapses and sold off for parts. Of course, this will mean the end of HBO and all traces of it. Edited February 23 by Khan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted February 23 Members Share Posted February 23 HBO Max becoming Max was the beginning of the end; HBO Max had everything going for it, and it ran beautifully. Since becoming Max, which I saw may be going under a rebrand soon, it's slow, media does not play well, and is just a forced-feeding of reality television from Discovery brands, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 23 Members Share Posted February 23 (edited) My mom and I tried Max as part of our DoorDash subscription and we HATED it, lol. There was literally nothing on there that we wanted to watch. Same went for Apple +, Hulu, Netflix, Paramount + and Peacock. It was all enough to make us reconsider trying out Disney +. So, now, my mom sticks with Tubi, while I stick with Pluto. Edited February 23 by Khan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted February 23 Members Share Posted February 23 I have a Starz/Max bundle and while I find Starz good for movies, I rarely use Max. On occasion I'll watch a movie there but the only thing I really enjoy is their food shows and true crime. If I wasn't getting a good deal on the bundle I wouldn't have it. I find I've been using Tubi a lot lately. I didn't realize just how vast and diverse their catalog was. I've never tried Pluto but I think I need to try that next in light of how much I've been enjoying Tubi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted February 23 Members Share Posted February 23 Pluto has some good offerings like Twin Peaks, Dynasty, Family Ties, Mama's Family, etc. I only have Hulu as a paid service..and I still watch some programs on there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
