Amazing news, I just hope they aren't chopped to bits to avoid copyright on the songs. ... Also be interesting to see if they keep the Chris Langham guest star episode in. Didn't Langham write a couple of seasons of the Muppets? Quote

Paid Members chokeout Posted January 21, 2021 Paid Members Posted January 21, 2021 He was a staff writer on it for 3 seasons and appeared as the 'celebrity guest' on an episode to replace Richard Prior so theres a whole episode based around him. Quote

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted January 28, 2021 Awards Moderator Posted January 28, 2021 Scrubbing around that star it looks like 95% of that is also is on Amazon Prime. What's the hook? Quote
WyattSheepMask Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 But will all of those still be there come the end of February? I haven’t got Amazon Prime, so if most of that is on there but coming to Disney+ for a small price increase as opposed to a full Amazon Prime subscription (is that still £7.99p/m?) then that’s your hook. I’m more interested in what movies will be on Star rather than the TV content, but there’s a few things I might give a try. I’ve never watched Atlanta for example, and it’s been a longtime since I last watched 24, it’ll be interesting to see if that’s aged well Quote
DavidB6937 Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 ABC/Fox stuff is notorious for coming and going off Amazon Prime. They're always chopping and changing whether it's included or not included, and which shows are and aren't etc. Quote

DavidB6937 Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 I tend to re-watch XFiles every few years so looking forward to doing that again. Will probably do Scrubs again too as haven't for a while and I always enjoy it. Can't see too much on there I haven't watched before but it'll be good to have new content. Quote
Paid Members chokeout Posted January 28, 2021 Paid Members Posted January 28, 2021 If it’s anything like their Sky deal, content will slowly start disappearing from other streaming services as the licences expire and become exclusive to Disney plus. The big test for them will be if it’s just a content dump or will they be spending time on the bigger licences like X files and Buffy. Buffy is currently available on Amazon Prime but it’s the weird remasters, with the dodgy colour grading and crew members in shot. I wonder if they’ll show the original tv crop versions. Quote

Fox remastered them and that's ready to broadcast, whiny nerds or not. Quote

I did have it for about 4 months last year but didn’t use it anywhere near as much as other things. The free next day delivery is great if you use Amazon all the time, but I only ever seem to use it over Christmas now. Just wasn’t for me Quote

The Amazon releases are the only HD versions of them though. Considering they have already backtracked and started releasing the original aspect versions of the Simpson after the backlash (whiny nerds win!) I am intrigued. Quote
