Apple Hosting Apple TV+ Event for 'The Morning Show' in New York City [Updated]

I like the idea of an event. Contrast that with Neflix who drops 30-40 movies and shows every month that I never know exist. I wish Netflix would do *more* promotion on the new shows they think are good.
As far as this show in particular, it's hard to know if it's any good until we can watch. The actors who signed up are not terrible, so the script must be passable. And, since Apple has given a free year to everyone who bought a new phone, they have a little bit of leeway to dial things in.

We'll see, but friends is overrated, just like this is overrated and you just part of over hype machine. We have a tendency to be sheep to everything that is popular and not necessarily of any substance. Unfortunately, you got caught by the hyper machine trap. Also, my view is representative of a large portion of the world. Because Friends represent a bunch of people living in New York where most people in New York couldn't even afford to live their lifestyle.
Have you noticed most of the cast of Friends have not even found much success beyond the show? Jennifer Anniston hair and her relationship with Brad Pitt is pretty much what has kept her relevance.

Popularity and substance are two different things. Fast food is popular, doesn't mean its good for you.
I've not been caught by anything. I simply stated a fact that seemed to contradict your opinion that Friends was 'forgettable', when the evidence shows exactly the opposite. Whether I like Friends or not, is irrelevant.
In your initial post, you made no mention of 'substance' but I see where you're trying to lead this now.
The previews should give you some idea who the three primary characters are. I could tell you, but I don’t want to deny you the experience of seeing for yourself.
It doesn’t work that way. Steaming rights are different than sale rights. Ex: new albums aren’t always available to stream on Apple Music, but are available to purchase in iTunes.
So then its already over? Well there goes my hopes for an apple tv announcement. Guess I wait til march
I have no interest in paying $4.99/month for any of these shows, but we're supposed to get 1-year free subs if we buy any major Apple product but the watch. What I'm unsure of is whether those products have to be bought on or after November 1. Many of us bought new iPhone 11's after Apple announced the free sub, but they never told us whether those iPhone purchases count. Apple's website is vague on the answer.
Then why would you suggest this has anything to do with the quality of Apple's keynotes, which are created by the Apple Marketing department?
Netflix has TONS of garbage content and most of the good stuff they don’t even own.
It's all about taste big guy, and if Apple's keynotes have anything to do it with it then they have bad taste!!! Get me?!??!?!
I was really hoping this show was going to be TV-14. But now that it’s TV-MA, I have no desire to see it. Apple just lost a potential subscriber from me.
I will give it a go, the fact its free for the first year (for me) means its worth persisting with.
The chances of it replacing Netflix? Virtually zero for me.
The chances of me paying for this along side Netflix in 12 months time? Perhaps just above zero.
Netflix went up 20% this year in the UK for me, now £11.99 a month so with Spotify being £14.99 for the family plan, I just don't want to be paying for another subscription.

An event for one show only? I would think it should include the rest of the lineup.
I totally agree but there are people out there that may just watch because they are big fans of the stars. At the end of the season, we will see if it is a success or not.
The current lineup of shows coming out have not piqued my interest enough to sign up for the 1 week trial.
Reviews are in. It’s garbage. Great use of BILLIONS of dollars, Mr. Cook. Cannot wait for this endeavor to fail so focus is brought back to building better tools.
Lets set the criticism aside. The general public likes what they like and watches programs that satisfy the smallest of needs for enjoyment, paired with the ease of access. Its why shows that aired on prior networks are also among the most popular for streaming services- the familiar comfort it brings the audience is a guarantee of enjoyment.
