The Futon Critic lists it as a streaming premiere, so I went with that.
I added the question mark because IMDb says it's available through Prime
Video for $4.99. I didn't check to see if that's true, but if so, that
would make the Max listing an "included in the plan streaming premiere."
Or something like that. I decided that was a bit pedantic.

It definitely is - the Prime Video (or Apple store) thing is basically
"video-on-demand", which is different than "streaming". This is the
"legitimate" streaming premiere, being on Max proper.

I saw a few minutes of this whilst checking listings. She sang a song to
the puppies, not a very clever song. Her voice isn't what it once was.
She put her personality into this but the whole show stank of being put
together by people who are completely indifferent to television.

It's just sad and pathetic. Viacom should just sell off its spectrum to
cellular, take the billions, and go quietly out of business. Let Sumner
Redstone take it with him.
