Oh, yeah - "Citadel" is another one I need to get to.

I think the current list is "Titans", "Shadow and Bone",
"Yellowjackets" and "Citadel", and I may even be forgetting one or two.

And that's not including "older" series I want to watch like "Banshee",
"Rome" and "Warrior". (And "Severence"?)

While I liked "The Ice Road" more than "Cold Pursuit", IIRC, it was
basically a cartoon.

Will watch. Unlike Tolkien stuff, I've never read TWoT stuff (or "The
Witcher" stuff either), so I'm not as offended when they blatantly (and
deliberately!) get stuff wrong on this show.

In 1994-95, NBC had an average of 16.5 million primetime viewers. In

I haven't gotten around to YELLOWJACKETS but it is recorded. TITANS, I

reason, but it's still recorded. SHADOW AND BONE and CITADEL are both
in progress with my watching and reporting on to the newsgroup.

I'm still watching. While Mrs Pucci was a horrid character, the
actress is actually quite good. So I'm okay with them adding her to
the cast. Oh, and unlike a certain Fred I'm glad to have the Donna
Noble character back. LOL. Though I do guess it will only be for the 3
episode Tenant series.

I think it's a dumb idea to give away the TVs with built in ads
(what's to stop a customer from just covering up the ads with tape or
, for the more creative types, some sort of decorative hanging.) That
said anything that gets DirecTV in front of more eyeballs makes good
business sense.

No. I liked the idea at first but then I looked at the offerings and
it doesn't make sense to me. If it included the local channels it
might make sense but as is it costs more than any of the other

people want to watch.

Effectively, yes.

Let's do a compare and contrast:

HBO/WB - HBO cable subscribers/customers get access to HBO Max/Max just
like if they are a streaming subscriber. In fact, it looks like, at
least in the short term, cable subscribers are getting the "Premium"
access tier to Max!

Paramount/Showtime - Showtime cable subscribers are given *NO* access
to/no account on Paramount+. Then they "merge" Showtime into Paramount
(effectively ending Showtime). Then, at the end of the year, they are
elminiating the standalone Showtime Anytime app, and still do not
appear to be giving their cable subscribers any access to Paramount+.

So, yes - effectively the cable customers will see their "streaming"
access to Showtime completely eliminated by the end of the year.

If I Showtime were not already bundled with HBO in my cable package, I
would have cancelled Showtime in protest.

I fucking hate Paramount now. I will never subscribe to Pee+.

Fake I guess.

Eva, back in her days of movieTime, and the barbarians, was slender. By the
time she got to CSI Horatio she looked like somebody had inflated her to 72
psi. But they would’ve had to inflate her to 144 psi to have her bazooms do
what they did without separate intervention.

Ah, I could have told you the dishes still exist. Two of my siblings
get their TV from the DirecTV Satellite service. The other one lives
in a bigger town and uses the local cable TV provider.

The numbers are a bit arbitrary. Only thing I can figure is they had
to put in some limits when designing the software/firmware and these
are the numbers someone put down on paper. After all say we are
recording a show like One Piece that has over a thousand episode. We
could have a 100 people recording episodes that were completely
different from each other and their cloud DVR would need to store all
1000 episodes even though none of us came close to the 30 episode
limit. So allowing someone to record all 1000 episodes wouldn't
necessarily cost them any more (unless they were the only person
wanting to record the show.)
