You know what they should start doing? Put more movies on sale. Instead of asking me to rent it for $3.99 — anything made over 5 years ago should be offered to OWN to play as much as you want for like $5.99 and call it the dvd bin like they have at the store

This is so true. The other day I looked for a movie that I always scroll past. It wasn’t there. I checked roku to see if it was on any of the other networks and it wasn’t. I had to pay 3.99 for the rental that expired in two days.

It is weird that we used to be able to pop in a DVD whenever we wanted to watch something, and now we have to hunt for the things we love. I do feel like it’s a problem that will eventually be solved, but I still want to know… 

…where and when will I be able to watch NBC’s Ed again?!

After listening to Stephen Merchant on the latest episode of Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend, I decided that it was time for an Extras rewatch for the first time in a decade. 

The problem is... it's nowhere to be found. It was last on Netflix in 2018, but it's been stripped from streaming. You can't even buy it anymore on Amazon, for some reason. 

This leads me to one of my biggest streaming pet peeves: not only do we have to chase shows around, based on who currently has the rights, but we can't even feel any real ownership over them. At least when we purchased DVDs back in the day, we had the hardware in our homes — we could always pop it in whenever we wanted to watch something, because we owned it. Now, we're at the mercy of whatever backroom negotiations happen. 

This rage is coming mostly from a place of me being pissed that I can't watch Extras outside of 3-minute YouTube clips, but c'mon, all this stuff is jerking us around enough already!
