Paramount+ Essential plan (has commercials) is free with Walmart+ now. So if you have Walmart+, you should go check your account and see how you get the Paramount+.
I have a grandfathered in limited commercial account Paramount plus plan,$5.99mo, but I would save so much money finally getting Walmart plus ($98 a year). But I'd sure hate to lose the limited commercials. I'm still thinking on it.

We watched Top Gun Maverick the other day and it was so good! I read that it's the most watched movie premiere weekend on streaming services ever.

I understand I am totally in the minority, but I can't STAND commercials. Tivo was one of the first to have skip commercials tech. I would pay any amount or buy any technology that allowed me to not watch any commercials ever again. I don't like having to pay extra ...but I hate commercials more lol

Doesn't the Dish Hopper auto skip commercials if that's how you set it?

Tivo came out with theirs in 1999. I think that Dish didn't have their Auto Hop until 2012?

I really don't mind an occasional 30 second or 1 minute commercial. Freevee does it best. They only have something like two 30 second commercials during a whole movie.
It's commercials in 4 and 5 minute clumps that bother me. OR, many short commercials every 5 or 10 minutes.

Although that's not so bad...it absolutely kills me when they play the same comercial over and over and you can't FF lol

Top Gun Maverick is a perfect holiday movie for the family due to it's feel good aspect. I was really glad it made it to streaming for this season.

I watch two shows on Freevee and you don't even really notice the commercials. If you blink, you miss them. You can't even go to the bathroom during a commercial on Freevee... LOL

I don't mind the commercials on FreeVee, except they seem to be SO LOUD!

I do notice on some streaming platforms the commercials are way louder than the program.

I watched Top Gun Maverick. So it's okay for men to get older, but not women? Everybody ages, if they are lucky.

Last week DH and I started watching old episodes of the soap opera "Bold and Beautiful" from before we started started watching the show, and today we went to continue and they were all gone. The only go back to 2022 now.
Can someone else log in and tell me if they see old seasons of BnB? They had all the way back to season 1. They weren't full seasons, but there were a lot of eps from all the seasons.

Naja I just looked... It says there are 68 episodes from season 36...so same thing. I also looked on Pluto and on spectrum and it was the same
I just did a search on YouTube and found some random old ones on there
Just went and looked on Amazon Prime. There are 25 seasons listed. Within each season there are, I think, all the episodes. However When you click on them some of them say video unavailable. But others are still there. Weird. So I guess if you wanna go through each season and then each episode clicking on each one to see which are still available for you to see....lol

I wonder why they took them away? They were going to be our binge when nothing else was on. I can't believe they wait waited until we started to take them away. We were on ep 7 of season 1.

They have season one on Amazon but then it skips to season 4. I tried clicking on each episode and I think it wasn't available until about episode 14 or 15?

There used to be 26 for season one on Paramount+, and 50 or 60 for the next few seasons. The more recent the season, then it went higher and higher. I'll check Amazon now.

Wow, if you go to each individual video at Amazon, they are now unavailable, too!

Naja, I skimmed something the other day that speculated most streamers are dropping shows to avoid paying residuals to actors and crew.

Naja when I clicked on individual episodes about 25% were available. Like you said last one you watched was 7 so I clicked on 8 thru 13 (or 14) and the next one was available...14 (or 15)
In each season there were available episodes....unless they are deleting them as we speak lol

I just figured out easier way to see available episodes. I used my phone. Amazon Video app. When I look at season 1. It has a white arrow next to available episodes. So 13 thru 16 season are still available. Much easier than clicking on them individually on tv.

I think they ARE deleting as we speak. There are less available from before! I found some that had 5 available...some that had only 2 many with none
I would hurry up and watch the ones left!

I started watching Tulsa King on Paramount plus. It's a series starring Sylvester Stallone as a mafia guy getting out of prison after 25 years.His bosses send him to Tulsa to do their business. It's funny and quirky
