So I have HBO with my cable provider so I have access to Max. I’ve been watching on my phone but found a back door way to get it to work on my Fire TV and I’ve been enjoying it.
Cancelled DCU subscription since Max has Doom Patrol.
Hopefully more people start watching with Season two coming later this month and more people have access to it now. Such a great show.

Actually, an update to the Gone with The Wind stuff... Shouldn't be surprised. As I said, WB has usually been on top of the deal with disclaimers and such, as per their Looney Tunes DVD sets. When people feared Disney+ was going to use a chopped-up Dumbo, people were saying to be more like the Warners were in their handling of things.

So no Babar, no Fraggle Rock, I thought this was going to have all the old HBO shows. Not owned by Warner Bros. Entertainment. (kind of like how no Raccoons and such on Disney+) Which classic Sesame eps. do they have? And how does the animation section compare to the Boomerang app?

I assumed that I would be able to cancel my Boomerang subscription once this came out. I'm really glad I didn't.

A bit off topic, but I’m glad Boomerang is still a part of VRV. If Boomerang left I’d probably cancel that subscription.

RE: Gone with the Wind If we start shunning all of the art/movies that are considered problematic by today's standards, that's going to be going down quite the rabbit hole. Only movies allowed to air then would be ones that came out last week or earlier Last warning; We got the clarification. Stop talking about it.

The "rotation" of movies makes no sense to me. People get these streaming services for accessibility to a massive library of content. Arbitrarily making some movies inaccessible on schedule, on a service that costs more than any of its competitors that don't do that, I don't get it. It's like AT&T wants HBO Max to fail.

It seems counterproductive because you're essentially asking some people to cancel for some months when there's nothing they want up. If all of it was always up, I'd wager more people would let subscriptions carry over month to month just to have access whenever they want.

I know that I have a bunch of Netflix and Disney+ shows that I have on ... those look cool I'll get to them eventually... if they start just delisting random ones every month... if I get to it or not I'd probably think about dropping them until it's back...

I don't know how successful the DC streaming service is, but it would rock if they dropped that and moved all of that content over to HBO Max. Nice for us, at least.

I thought about it since I'm a massive Swamp Thing fan, but that show is already cancelled so oh well.

A bunch of other DC shows were announced and are not going to DC Universe... and etc... so it seems like they were thinking of dropping it altogether.

Will Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and Disney Channel eventually be phased out in favor of HBO Max, Netflix/CBS All Access, and Disney+, respectively? Cable is rapidly becoming obsolete.

As long as enough people don't cut the cord big companies can get carriage fee's for these networks and just make money running repeats at little or no cost. MTV just replaying Ridiculousness and Teen Mom marathon 24-7 will be the model other networks follow.
