Sorry, the megaconglomerate that bought the rights to the IP decided it's cheaper to delist the show and destroy all existing recordings. You know, for tax reasons.

Seasons 4 and 7 are available in your country!

Yarr

Two of them are available in the US, the other is available in the UK. If you don't live there, die

You sound confident. I believe you.

I'm currently rewatching season 3 of futurama, season 6 of Stargate sg1, season 4 of star trek tng, and I'm thinking of adding Quantum Leap and Battlestar Galactica into the mix.

Most of my shows are definitely 90s-2010ish

I mean, that's the problem you get when so much is readily archived. If whatever's currently coming out sucks, there's so much history to pull the greatest hits from that you can just...stop watching new content. For years. Possibly ever.

I think it's the overstaturation and the nature of streaming. People used to watch scheduled shows and talk about them the next day. That's not a thing anymore. Not to mention, entertainment is much more polarizing now that everyone has their own online echo-chamber.

I have noticed shows and movies lately have been very choppy, almost like they're trying to chain together a bunch of tiktoks and calling it a movie. The dialogue has also gotten pretty terrible, like AI is writing it. It doesn't sound human.

It might just be because the public is now spread over so many services...

Are those morons trying to compare the numbers from years ago when you had like one or two nation wide channels with the modern landscape? And the one episode was announced like a week ahead and everybody would be tuning in to watch it at the same time. Now you stream an entire show at will.

It's moronic to want to use the same metric as a measure of success when clearly the entire landscape has changed.

With streaming you can watch what you want and not the "ehh, there's nothing else on" shows. Studios are still making those low effort, watch because you have to if you want to watch anything at all shows, and maybe it's a feeling of not being in a target audience but they are mostly that these days. Maybe even more so than before, because the studios now don't have a reasonable expectation that people are just gonna watch it because it is on.

They have a pseudo incentive to produce a higher amount of cheap lazy garbage to flood the market with something, anything, that might grab attention and become a hit, whereupon they might invest more into it. They've really been lowering the bar, over and over, and as the bar lowers more and more people aren't stupid enough to follow along and just watch whatever. Why watch modern garbage when there are yesteryear classics that were made with passion, at least enough to veneer over the ever-present profit incentive.

Probably will be for at least another year or two. The creatives need time to cook and they took a huge unplanned hiatus last summer protecting their jobs

Except when you watch something it only links to some crappy streaming platform, where you still need a subscription to watch it. It does absolutely nothing to solve the issue of streaming platforms shrinking their libraries while at the same time increasing their prices. I would still need to subscribe to like 5 or 6 different services to watch all the stuff I like. No thanks, I'm gonna stay with piracy.
