What would be full Disney? Restoring them perfectly?

[Ezee E]

Are the "Censored Eleven" missing?

My guess is that it is because of the live action remakes or The Simpsons' ratio thing.

Are the "Censored Eleven" missing?

I don't know. I doubt it.

[Dukefrukem]

Whoa.

I'm guessing this is Scott's outlet to continuing the David android story-line, waiting patiently for the dust to settle on the Disney Fox deal. I mean, this looks gorgeously perfect for the Alien Universe.

Oh My.....

[Ezee E]

Wow. Had no idea something like that was in production, much less coming out next week.

[Philip J. Fry]

I hope it's renewed. Infinity Train might be the best animated show in the platform.

That no one has seen.

That no one has seen.

Then take it as a recommendation.

No i just mean the general public. How many people have HBO Max? maybe 5% of Netflix and Disney+ Subscribers?

I don't know, but you have a point. What sucks even more is that, for example, that show has a considerable fanbase outside the US (go to Twitter and like half of the show's discussion is in Spanish or Portuguese), but since the service is only in the US for now, those numbers can't be counted. I just hope that's taken into consideration with shows like that one.

Yeh it's a huge bummer for stuff like this and it's a catch 22. You need content to put on your service, but you also need a base to support the content when the content turns out to be good.

The four one hour episodes of the Synder Cut is going to be re-released and packaged together for international release. But they aren't going to do that for everything on Hbomax.

Yeah, unfortunately you need patience and creativity when marketing if you wanna create a base, unless you only want to do material based on already known properties such as DC.

And it's quite a shame, because part of what made HBO the revolutionary juggernaut that it is today, was that patience and creativity. Without them, you cancel shows like The Sopranos, The Wire and Six Feet Under after one season.

This depends on how you view the numbers. HBO has about ~25 million subscribers, but they've had trouble converting those to MAX. I don't expect that will last long, tho.

Disney+ didn't reach ~25 million until about 4 months after their launch, and they launched with almost no new, original content.

Quick cancellations may be the new reality under streaming.

Netflix just cancelled another show after just 2 seasons ("Altered Carbon"). They've research telling them long running programs don't bring in fresh subscribers.

ATT's stated strategy with MAX is to pump out as much content as possible as quickly as possible, hence Fandome and their reliance on broad based, popular IP.

That's awful, honestly.

Can you go by "Wryun" in your next incarnation? I'd be flattered and a little aroused.

[Irish]

It is, and I seriously wrinkled my nose when I heard about ATT's plans...

... otoh I think there's an opportunity to get away from legacy TV models and move onto something more interesting. Shows that are one-off mini-series or limited series. Or shows that follow the UK model, where a "season" is 4 episodes, but each episode is 90 minutes long, and it only comes around once every 1 or 2 years.

I also think there isn't necessarily anything wrong with streaming networks mirroring their customer's viewing habits. Speaking only for myself, I just don't have the time and energy to maintain interest for season ... after season ... after season. And that's even true of the stuff I like.

I enjoy this mindset too. It's how we get stuff like Wayward Pines and Band of Brothers.

Yeah, we've been rewatching Community and my wife was like "Wow, there are over 20 episodes in a season...?!". We pretty much gave up on all network TV so long ago that it's werd now.
