Knowing Apple, they have probably botched Foundation. Will see reviews before watching this one.
I ditched cable when I moved from my apartment (cable included in the maintenance) to a house.
I installed a good HDTV Antenna in the attic, connected it to a signal amplifier and oriented it to where I could get the most channels. That's a lot of channels already (about 60).
Plus, there are tons of internet channels with Xumo, Tubi, SamsungTV, IMDB, CW, Peacock, etc....
And I have Amazon Prime Video included with Amazon Prime Membership.
And Apple TV+ for free until July.
I don't have enough time to watch TV.
But I will most likely renew Apple TV+, it's only $50.00 when paid yearly (about $ 4.17 /month).
I've been paying for AppleTV+ for a while now. For my money its some of the best content out there. I'm specifically excited for Foundation!
I’ve been watching some of them and did like See, Ted Lasso, Tehran and the morning show. Excited for foundation but I feel like I spend way more time on Netflix then AppleTV. I know it doesn’t have to be 1 or the other but for $60 a year I am not sure. I might let it expire and if Apple puts out more and more content maybe I come back.
I love the originals but it would be great if they did add some back catalogue like HBO. So originals plus some classics

There should probably be a comma in there:
"The Problem, With Jon Stewart"
Otherwise, it's a problem "with" Jon Stewart 🤣

I cancelled Disney+ and they haven't done anything that made me regret that decision. I mean yeah the Mandelorian was good and I'm kind'a interested in Moon Knight but I'm burnt out on the MCU and even if I wasn't phase four looks very underwhelming. Disney also has effectively ruined Star Wars for me and most of their TV announcements just looks like they really haven't learned anything.... like make more Star Wars things like the Mandelorian. Nah, I've got a limited budget and limited time for shows and Netflix, Amazon and AppleTV+ has enough awesome shows to keep me happy.
I so agree, and have been really missing his voice and wit these past years.
Starz comes with Disney+. Hmmm maybe I will need to get it 2 months out of the year instead of one.
Of course it won’t that’s not “sexy” enough especially in the age of competing between nearly a dozen all you can streaming buffets. There was only a slight chance for a faithful adaptation in the 50s and 60s when you could get away with characters just sitting around talking in a sci-fi setting and of course the anthology setup where everything unfolds over hundreds of years because that means replacing the cast constantly despite it being a unique narrative hook that would make it stand out, people don’t want that they want Games of Thrones in space whatever that means.
He's a personality on his own, sure, but I think Seth Meyers is pretty entertaining also.
The only problem with Jon Stewart is that we don't see as much of him anymore.
Can't wait.
Good to see Apple TV is dishing out the competition! I've got a trio of them, so won't bother with anything else until I'm "sufficiently finished" with them.
or you can say the opposite, that the free period was extended to compensate for the delay of these big releases (due to COVID).
I’ve decided to make a 2 months break from subscription. Than I’ll be back for a while until I am done with all the content I like to watch than… short time “divorce “ again
Worried about faithfulness to the books for "Foundation". Just checked - the person meeting Seldon (Gaal Dornick in the book) was male. So of course it had to be changed to a non-white female to check off the political correctness box.
They had it going for them that the race of most characters could not be determined from the text; they didn't need to change genders too. Granted there were less prominent females than males in the series, there were some.
