Begun, the stream wars have

Imagine thinking you'd make back $1.5B for streaming two of the worst sitcoms ever made
Old sitcoms are big money, see The Office and Friends
Do people really watch reruns of Two and a Half Men?

Stupid corporations
I did a couple days ago.
Also a channel played 5 hours of King of Queens and I watched all of it.
better go way back
buy the rights to I love lucy = destroy all of today's shitcoms combined by a large margin in revenue
Its a comfy show. The only thing me and my buddy would watch on tv back in the day in between jam sessions
ridiculous
Netflix would be smart to get in on this.
I don't care what anybody says, people keep these streaming services in order to have easy access to shows they love that have a large amount of episodes.
I would drop Netflix in a second if they lost Cheers, Frasier, and the Star Treks.
I do
Right, like the panic that was caused when it came out about the Office and Friends leaving Netflix. People rely on comfy shows to insulate themselves against the hellish rising tide of post-modernity.
sneed
Big Bang Theory is more popular than the MCU among normans
good lord we continue to reach new lows
bazooka
Why the FUCK does HBO think that’s what its audience wants?
they want to be lazy fucks while also cockblocking the other services
ikr? people see HBO because they think its a porn channel that shows porn movies with actual stories
There are people in Africa without running water and people here are throwing away this kind of money on two of the most braindead shows in recent memory. Fuck this gay earth.
It's precisely because they are the worst that they are also the most lucrative.
africans should make hit television for HBO to buy
they should make a reality show of how they starve and get childred bloated with worms
SJW and femitrannies would love it
I think "Who Killed Captain Alex" could be a huge hit if more people knew about it.
Oh shit. HBO starts a new steamin plattform?
Hope its actually not just available in USA like HBO now.
I dont care if they also buy normie bait shows as long it helps the normies to watch all the godtier hbo original shows.
>why does HBO think people would want to watch two of the most popular shows of the century
They have Friends too, if they get The Office they are winning this war before it even starts
So the two biggest studios left standing both have their own streaming platforms now. Does this kill the Netflix or nah?
NBCUniversal is launching their own streaming service in 2021 which will have the office
No way is Universal relinquishing its only hot property. They probably won't leave Netflix cause it's really all they got.
holy shit why is this not a forced meme on Yea Forums
Oh fuck. I spoke too soon. Like fuck I'm paying for three separate streaming services. I'm cancelling them all instead, including Netflix. There is nothing to watch anyway.
It was a small-scale meme for a while a while ago.
cant believe people still beat the bane and sneed horse instead of this
Boomers hate to be reminded of the paradise they destroyed
King of Queens is comfy
white office workers are the worst people on the planet, they are the ones watching this shit.
WB still makes a billion dollars off friends alone each year. It's mind boggling how big these shitty sitcoms are
Worst people on the planet? Worse than
Crackwhores? Social media influencers? Fuckboys? Facebook moms? Flat earthers?
Trailer trash?
Yeah I work in an office and some people here are really boring but come on man. Not every white office worker talks about painting fences n' shit.
i kind of feel bad for people who constantly have to rewatch stuff. it's like they're stuck in the past, deeply unhappy with the present, and afraid to move on.
It's HBO and WBs entire library. Harry Potter and friends on the same service will be catnip for women.
>HBO will have Friends, all those Lorre normie trash sitcoms, those CW normie shit shows that rank among the ten most popular shows every year, plus the entire WB back catalog and their own kino catalog (including more normie trash like GoT or Euphoria)
Yeah I think we're gonna see a lot of smearing by disneyshills on this one
HBO and HBO Max are completely unrelated outside of the name.
If they start making their own shows like Disney + it's going to be even worse. I know Doom Patrol from the DC service will be on there. If they make a Harry Potter show like "The Marauders" it's over for Netflix. HBO and Disney will be all people have.
I think it's also folding in crunchy roll so they're getting all the weebs
Max is already making shows and I guess that the DC streamer will be folded into HBO Max by the end of 2020
Just like the console wars, there will be two giants. Netflix might survive and be the “Nintendo”.
>imagine paying billions of dollars for mediocre sitcoms when based frasier exists
It's the kind of show that's just "on".
Based
Are you retarded by any chance?
Max is also getting a lot of British shows like Top Gear, Doctor Who and Luther. Content wise it seems to be much bigger than Disney +
Disney+ has ABC and Fox's content but I don't know what big hitters are in there. I know L O S T is ABC but that's about it
you can't get the jokes to fraiser if you are on your phone the whole episode. (you kinda can but it's harder)
>if you are on your phone the whole episode
just stop
Winning!
Who got dat tiger blood now, Charlie?
Fox has a shit ton of content
Why is The Office so popular? The jokes arent all that funny, and there is no substance at all to it. No story, no compelling characters. Just "LOL I relate to that" and "haha Dwight is so wacky XD". Is this just an American thing? Do other countries have such shit taste?
i saw like 10 episodes yesterday, i like it
Why do normies like these shitty sitcoms so much? Between this and the deal with friends on netflix im just left confused.
T. Guy who only like sienfield
I think it's pretty funny watching it for the first time.
people? no
subhumans? yes
These two shows are popular only because they air in the most basic bitch cable packages, they're the ultimate normie background noise, and the shows inoffensive to grandmas. Absolutely no one makes an effort to actually watch either of these shows and paying out the ass to add them to a platform is one of the most retarded things a streaming company could do.
Do the brainlets in charge of streaming services not realize this?
Big Bang Theory is fucking massive among zoomers how out of touch are you?
Unfunny people think its funny, office drones who make up most of the American workforce "tots relate" to the characters, and it aired on a cable channel almost everyone had so there was a huge audience.
Also two of the most popular sitcoms ever made. We're living in the end times bros
I don't know man. My zoomer nephew bursts into tears with laughter whenever he's watching tbbt for the hundredth time while I feel like a bitter old cunt because I cringe at that unfunny shit.
>My zoomer nephew bursts into tears with laughter whenever he's watching tbbt for the hundredth time while I feel like a bitter old cunt because I cringe at that unfunny shit.
I genuinely despise this generation and hearing shit like this reminds me why i never plan to have children
Women. Women love Friends and The Office
I never see this kind of bidding war for Seinfeld, and I generally found women aren't as big a fan of that as they are those two. (Which is why I've always laughed at Friends posters on Yea Forums as they're secretly fags)
BBT is partly responsible for the massive cultural shift and the proliferation of "geek culture" and two and a half men is one of the most popular shows of all time.
You know you're the adult and can raise them on the entertainment you like, right?
Fuck africa
The Office and Friends are still beloved shows. Two and a Half Men and Big Bang Theory aren't exactly forgotten, but they aren't really held in high regard anymore.
Bing Bang Theory is what made capeshit popular in the first place
>but they aren't really held in high regard anymore.
I'm sorry but you're living off your own farts. Check out their ratings
Have you dumbasses ever been on Reddit? Normies hate it, it's dumbass boomers like my mom and dad who love it. They knew I hated it as a teen and once threatened to withhold dinner from me unless I watched episodes with them
while I ate.
No they fucking despise it, have you ever been on Reddit? I have never met someone under the age of 27 who admits to watching it, fucking cope you out of touch faggot
Conversation over
Too right user. If only whitey left them alone they would have become like the black pantha Wakanda but fucking whitey stopped them cause of colonization fuck white people FUCK WHITE PEOPLE FUCK WHITE PEOPLE
FUCK THIS FUCKING WHITE CUNT FUCKKKKK WHITE PEOPLE
>Have you ever been on reddit
No user tell me more whats it like?
imagine having shit parents like that.
my parents made us watch seinkino
>No they fucking despise it
Are you fucking retarded?
>have you ever been on Reddit?
That answers the question
>we could be getting those seasons of Rome we were teased about years ago
>instead HBO is spending over a billion dollars on shitty boomer sitcoms noone gives a fuck about anymore
somebody start streaming Law&Order and Homicide and then we'll be speaking my language
I would watch Ugandan movies on Netflix
Netflix is dropping Frasier
Do americans actually do this
Fucking this plus their made-for-tv movies too, the only reason I still watch sundance is because of their old law & order marathons.
Any tv program which literally needs a cuck track to remind its audience that its supposed to be funny is automatically garbage
Maybe it's just where I live then. Those shows more or less came and went. I don't anybody who really likes them. While just about everybody I know adores The Office and Friends.
Die for israel boomerspawn
King of Queens is comfy as fuck though. Peak Kevin James.
>can buy the whole series on Blu-ray for 50 bucks
>rather watch it on a streaming service with a worse bit rate
Why?
Normalfags love those shows. Even normalfags hate the BBT and TaaHM
way too easy
I get what you mean, but based on ratings alone, these shows are huge, and maybe not in a cultural sense like The Simpsons, but they live long in syndication
>Can download entire series from unofficial distributors for free
>rather go spend 50$ instead for 1 copy
??
Throwing money at poor African countries will not solve their problems. You have to start at the top with their governments and leaders. Might as well throw the money into a fucking fire pit. It never works.
>this guy goes on reddit
GET HIM
This
>mfw HBO Max adds Pornucopia, Taxi Cab Confessions and Real Sex
>warner pays itself
>There are people in Africa without running water
who gives a shit seriously
Maybe those fucking niggers should stop shitting out kids they can't afford.
>HBO Max has to pay nearly $2 billion for their own shows that no one wants
But sure they'll totally have all of HBO's back catalog including shows that weren't made by Warnermedia like Deadwood and will totally crush "the mouse"
remember when people paid warner bros 2 million dollars so they could afford to make a veronica mars film?
probably. likely non that many people will cancel their subscription since they are used to it, but it is going to be on a steady decline
Giving money to Warners is a bigger waste than shipping it to poor African nations.
TBBT is background noise kino desu
Remember when every film studio in the world used german tax payer money to finance their films?
I do not.
Meeeeeeeeeeen~
people like to go through life unchallenged and be part of the average forever because its comfortable. tv watching habits is just an extremely minor part of this phenomenon, because you're already a tv-watcher, a netflix watcher, which already pigeonholes you into a category of person. so the choice of what the person is watching is just the ultimate trickle-down confirmation of the type of person you are. friends, the office, etc. though desu i do watch some office and KOQ if there's nothing else to do and nothing else on tv, usually around 11pm/12. but as a daily activity? npc-worthy behavior
>hbo max
who would even want this? the market is already over saturated
Why do normies love shitty sitcoms so much?
>I would drop Netflix in a second if they lost Cheers, Frasier, and the Star Treks.
These will likely go soon. CBS owns the distribution rights and they're actually trying to push CBS All Access now. Similar to what they're starting to do with the CW shows as they're now expiring (they're pulling back the streaming rights and giving them to CBS All Access).
They like to have something on in the background as they use social media. It;s kind of scary you see people all staring at screens even when you go outside
>Uses R*ddit
You deserve your shitty parenting
yeah, lol, thay are so stupid for not letting others get rich without getting your own cut. dummies ;^)
I plan to go Disney+/Hulu package and Amazon this Fall. I've had a Prime account since forever, so the latter is by default.
damn I hope all the crew get a slice of that haha
>I plan to go Disney+
you need the rope
>have you ever been on reddit.
no
>user, you like video games and star wars and all that, right?
>you should check out the bazinga, you would love it
>check it out
>irredeemable garbage without a single likeable character
I kinda liked Friends when I was a kid, I adore Scrubs and Married with Children is perfect but that's it for me and sitcoms.
I have never watched a single minute of either of those show.
lel sure you can have those two god-awful shows
>The absolute STATE of HBO
>I kinda liked Friends
Faggot detected
Wouldn't matter. They cuck Netflix and recover their losses for this purchase in a month's time purely from their subscriber revenue. Netflix will soon be dead and cinema not long after. Everyone will be on the streaming market which will be dominated by Disney, Prime and HBO.
Its arguably the best service
I prefer prime desu
It's more like just moving funds between different departments and paying Chuck Lorre and those have have licensing agreements
kill yourself shill
Imagine writing a generic unfunny sitcom once and earn millions off it every year for the rest of your life.
HBO Max is just using the HBO name because it's the biggest name that Warner has, but they aren't related. HBO Max shows and movies will stay on HBO Max and you won't see Friends or Big Bang Theory on HBO or HBO Now.
>Wouldn't matter
>recover their losses for this purchase in a month's time purely from their subscriber revenue
Why aren't you a CFO for a big company? Your business sense, financial savvy, and reading comprehension are unparalleled.
>it's dumbass boomers like my mom and dad who love it.
Can confirm. Am Australian and my parents always watch TBBT, 2 And A Half Men and now Young Sheldon when they're on TV. Also WWE for some reason.
They have Netflix and can't stand any of the originals. They pretty much use it to watch Star Trek (Voyager mostly).
They could make a literal "Two and a Half Men" show...
>HBO max
>Amazon Prime
>Disney +
>Netflix
>when I have like 10 TB of films and shit stored
Lmao
