Oh no doubt I agree, it just becomes more  aggravating when you have something like Falcon Crest, which never got a full DVD release and hadn’t been on a legitimate service since the SoapNet era just get hauled off or in the example among many of LA Law, where internationally the whole series is on DVD but not in Region 1. I feel like FC could’ve just gotten a complete series on release years ago even if it was at a loss, Idk. It almost reminds of how back when Disney would do limited releases of their older material be it rescreening or VHS limited time only releases while advertising ominously “Get it before it goes back into the Disney vault!!” lol.

Granted some things will always be a classic and some things are better left in the past. For every I Love Lucy, Perry Mason, and Andy Griffith people clamor for, there’s always shows like Hazel, Ironside, and Medical Center that no one is clamoring for minus a few skeletal hands rising from the grave

Off-topic, As for westerns well those were the escapist adventure/fantasy dramas for many in the the 50’s and 60’s that were monster hits and served as a bit of a precursor to daytime soaps as they expanded from 30 minutes to 60 minutes to even 90 minutes in the cases of the Virginian and I think Bonanza temporary…? Maybe if Gunsmoke had just written and serialized a growing relationship between Marshal Dillon and Miss Kitty…

I can't find any information about this online. Can you provide a link? Amazon is "shutting down" freevee but it's incorporating everything into its Amazon Prime collection but with ads. Amazon has had 2 separate streaming services for a few years which, honestly, hasn't many any sense. All I've read is that they're combing the two.

I think there's just a confusion that the FreeVee app is being discontinued and its "product" moved to the main Amazon Prime App. I did a search on FreeVee and it shows Falcon Crest as leaving soon. (I don't usually watch it that way, that's why I've been searching for an answer.) I watch via the Amazon Prime Video app and it says nothing about it leaving soon.

As of today 3/1/24 it’s gone off Freevee and Prime. The first four seasons are currently available for purchase on Prime but none of the later seasons are available. 
 

Guess we’ll have to wait and see where FC ends up next, and who knows how long that will be.

      Y&R: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By ranger1rg · Posted

      There's nothing about the Kyle/Claire pairing that makes me say "Damn, I really want them together."   Yep. Everything interesting about her was swept away.   We were supposed to be moved by that bracelet, but all I could think of was "We never see these kids." Oh, and hearing Harrison had a charm was LOL   Exactly. It's vets rinsing and repeating all the old hits. Josh Griffith thinks honoring history means giving us the same stories over again. Where are the young people on this show? WTH is going on? Cole is a perfect example to represent everything JG is. He does reference history and bring characters back, but it's invariably a huge disappointment. Cole has done NOTHING since his return. Now he's sick, and instead of us worrying about him, we're smirking because these wealthy people won't call a doctor. I don't think anyone cares if he lives or dies.   Complete disaster. The Alexander Dumas story is the worst of all. ALL this buildup for ALL these months -- you just know it's going to land with a thud. Even the best writer couldn't follow through with something good. Will any of it matter? Two days after we see all these shocked faces when Dumas appears, we'll be back to talking about takeovers and changes in job titles.   None of this will change unless Josh Griffith is fired, and unfortunately, the ratings aren't calling for a firing. I will never understand why Y&R and B&B are immune to long periods of relly bad storytelling.

      I find Kat annoying but Colby plays the part well! I do like the antagonism between Kat/Eva and Kat/Leslie.  Leslie has balls. I found it a bit annoying at first, but at least the writers are keeping it as a throughline. The "twist" of Eva hiding the evidence to protect Leslie was nice. I hope it's a way to keep Leslie going longer. I was afraid she'd get written into a corner and she's one of the best finds of the show.  Tamara is nailing her scenes. I was losing interest in the Articulettes, but Barbara's suicide and now Sharon wanting to use the reunion to push herself at Anita's expense have me interested again.  Nice to see Dani tone it down with Bill and Hayley.

      Uh oh, is Bill giving Dani some hope here? He appreciated her concern, so it's not all hate there. Hayley doesn't seem so pleased.

      For all of Kat's interest in "true crime" shows, she doesn't seem to understand some things.  I mean, you don't tell the suspect your suspicions too early -- you don't want the suspect to cover it up before there's enough for an arrest.  Kat shouldn't have told Leslie that she'd found the jacket and the receipts.

      I like him too. I'm still trying to figure out why he's not a contract player and in the intro. He has his own storyline and is on more than other contract players month to month.
