you've made absolutely fair points here. there is a great convenience in being able to move TV around with you no matter where you go, or what room you are in at your convenience. I love being able to pull up an episode of days from 1996 at will on YouTube! I just wish streaming and broadcast television coexisted rather than one being a result of the collapse of the other.

Just dawning on me that with DAYS gone, NBC Daytime has finally collapsed after years of faltering behind CBS and ABC in terms of soaps especially. 

I know change happens and all that stuff but it kind of sucks. Never did I imagine about 12-13 years ago that broadcast television would cave like this. it's amazing how cable was the next big thing and just fell to streaming so quickly.

Personally, I feel the title for the poll is incorrect. You're not paying $4.99 to watch Days on Peacock. That's the price for Peacock itself. It should have been "Will you pay a monthly subscription for Peacock?"? Similarly, I think polls should be created for the other streamers as well just to see if people are willing to pay for any of them.

Currently, I pay for Netflix + DVD (it's a legacy account), Prime Video (via annual Prime plan), Hulu+Live TV, Paramount+ (student discount rate), Disney+ and HBO Max (free via legacy AT&T wireless service). I have a free Peacock account which I've been unwilling to upgrade. Yes, it's five bucks but until now I've yet to be given a reason to subscribe.

I wouldn't pay $4.99 for Peacock. I could possibly switch to Xfinity if I wanted to and get Peacock for free with ads. I own my own routers and cable modem, so I would need to see if the modems I have are "accepted" or "doable" by Xfinity. However, I'm fine with my internet company, and I'm in no dire need to switch over because of a television show. No. 

No. No. No.

I'll download DAYS episodes if torrents are available and that's that. 

Yes, I do pay for streaming services (Paramount +; Prime Video). Paramount + fits me better if that makes any sense as a viewer. As for Peacock, the premium stuff they offer for movies, I already have. Their shows, for the most part, don't seem as appealing as compared to the television shows that Paramount + offers. But, that's just me. Call it $5 a month or whatever, but Peacock needs a lot of help trying to gain subscribers.

If Peacock can offer what Disney+ can offer (which frankly, no one else can), then it will continue to be a challenge as it currently is for Netflix, HBO Max and Discovery+, etc.

In other words, every streaming service needs to find their own version of the MCU and they’ll be sitting pretty.

No way are they going to upload every episode they ever made. But if they were to put up just one complete year from the 60s, 70s, or 80s, I'd sign up. Maybe 1984, or 1976, or 1965/66?

Honestly, I don't know the DAYS viewer base to be honest. I keep thinkihng about the 18-34 year-old demographic as well as 35+. Does the baby boomer or traditionalist generation watch DAYS religiously? What about socioeconomic status? I can only imagine a traditionalist or a baby boomer who have watch DAYS for 25+ years to find out that "their show" is no longer on NBC. In order to watch it, they would have to pay for it by subscribing to Peacock for $4.99 plus tax a month. Sure, they don't fit the key demographic as 18-34 year-olds are considered to be especially valuable to advertisers, but I guess we'll have to wait and see how this turns out. However, if the majority of DAYS viewers pertain to a lower socioeconomic status, then I don't see a potential gain for Peacock

Or $19.99 for 12 months, which will cover DAYS *final* season (hopefully not).

Considering what other streaming services are charging, that's a great deal. 80% of homes subscribe to at least 1 streaming service. All these people complaining that they don't know how to use streaming - well, they sure know how to use the internet to post on boards. That's what makes the whole Doug & Julie showing how to stream a bit ridiculous. Millions of older Americans already use streaming regularly. And the ones that are 65+ have never mattered financially to the networks aka advertising so losing them is really losing nothing. However, gaining a few subscriptions from older folks is $$$.

Is this great? No. It's not much different than when the NCAA Football Championship is shown on ESPN.

    • To be fair, I don't think she was written out as much as not being written for as they had to gear up for the final episode. I'd assume they might've had the option to use her again but they just didn't find the space.
    • Seems Traci and Julie on Days are both shopping at 'Granny's Garments'. You just can't go wrong with a loose print long line jacket (hides those figure faults, gals), a comfy pair of slacks, a scoop neck T and some chunky accent jewelry. And don't forget your crowning glory-a wash 'n' go hair do.

    • I loved the cliffhanger of Xander being arrested for Philip's attack.
    • I've got to say GH is the soap I'm enjoying the most right now, followed closely by Days. I can't wait for Willow's world to come crashing down on her. She is one stupid hoe. To choose Drew over her children is despicable. I'm loving Rory Gibson as new Michael.
    • That could apply to Dani too, and Leslie looking at herself in the mirror being crazy. The gambling scenes were pure fast-forward material.   The best part of the show was seeing Mona.   BTG is slowly becoming background noise when I watch it.
    • It seems like it was tested with all the concern she showed him. Obviously Dani would create a lot more conflict because her sister is Vanessa's best friend, but on the other hand Vanessa could pull the socio-economic class card on Shanice which would make for good conflict.
    • I could buy Belle being drawn to EJ, even being confused/horrified over it... but to actually date/sleep with him is a stretch. Still... this is the soap that had Satan possess a character, underground dungeons, a heart being removed from someone's chest and then slipped back in (Jennifer), and almost every is related by blood and/or marriage... so I can't expect the soap to not have Belle go for it with EJ.  
    • Belle doesn't have a "savior complex" she has a half assed martyr hoe complex. See her staying with sponge bob square head Faux Philip(KB)cause he was injured overseas in war & he was "the father of her baby" like it was the 1950s or something. Not out of some true love kinda ish. That's what she told Shawn as to why she couldn't be with him despite cheating with him behind Phil's back. I didn't care but a spade is a spade cause that logic went straight out the window once Shawn moved on with Mimi & stopped letting her string him along. The minute he found someone else & she couldn't string him along while playing house with Phil? It's the minute the facade of her's dropped. Belle just wants to have her cake and eat it too. A self righteous thot who looks down her nose at others Sami, Xander while she lays up with the monster who not only tortured her beloved daddy but her sister & rest of her family. Like her using her daddy "dying" back in 07 as the reason she was having an affair with JKJ Phil & slept with him in her martial bed she shared with her husband. I think it was either before John's funeral or after. Belle's loyalty is too a dick especially one that's not her husbands

      Nothing more nothing less you're trying to oversimplify something that doesn't need to be oversimplified. I'm mad big daddy John is going out with his 2 biological kids being dumber then a box of rocks bird brains, who don't even share one brain cell btw the 2 of them. John's legacy deserves better you hear me! 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣 At least he still has Pumpkin Carrie & Paul 🕊
    • They need to put this new Michael on frontburner every day for as long as they can.  They also need to bring in a new love interest (or many) for him.  Give this actor as much material as possible, please! I hope this Drew-Michael nephew-uncle rivalry goes on for the long haul.  I was worried they were leading up to a Drew murder mystery, but that would prematurely end some great long-term soapy storytelling.  The Quartermaines don't need any more dead family members, either.
