Sorry to burst your bubble, but you won't be able to add on another year. At least not on the same ID.

Oh! Thanks 
Didn’t know that. But, I’d doubt there are very many paying for it currently. We’ll see what Apple TV’s numbers look like next year!

I switched out of Apple Music and went to Podcasts exclusively about 2yrs ago. If I have to start subscribing to outlets to get what I've always had for free because they're trying to gain marketshare, then I'll find other alternatives or means of getting them. The rich get richer...
Why 6 episodes?
If it takes 24 weeks to make an episode... and the entire 13 episode season of Central Park is 13 weeks... they are obviously making multiple episodes at a time... ahead of time.
But I don't know why they would only have 6 episodes ready today when they need to have episode 7 completed just 7 weeks from now.
I'm sure the episodes are staggered and are in various stages of completion over many months. But still... the time to make one episode is almost twice as long as the entire season takes to air.
I would say the entire season is done already. But I'm just speculating here.
Why would Apple make a show and put it on another platform?
Do what you wish.
The kids who pirate would never pay in the first place. Very little real revenue is lost. Roughly equivalent to the Hackintosh situation.
Oh, that was just a random number less than 13.But I don't know why they would only have 6 episodes ready today when they need to have episode 7 completed just 7 weeks from now.

I’d guess that after the deal was signed, there would be some time to get the right folks on board (a new showrunner was added a couple months after the deal) then get started working. So, they likely don’t have 13 episodes ready to go today. What if they have two left to do and both are going to still take another month or so (11 months being almost 3 months)? I guess they could release 2 episodes, then 7 episodes then the 3 final episodes...
Same. Out of all the release models, I prefer the 3 episode drop followed by weekly. If you want to binge watch through the whole thing, then wait until all the episodes are released.
I've started noticing people who I know don't have any Apple products seeking out some of the AppleTV+ shows, and some of them are appearing on torrenting forums, most notably Mythic Quest. I think this show will be the same, specially for fans of Bob’s Burgers. This is a good thing. AppleTV+ is starting to gain public awareness.
As much as streaming services like Netflix might hate people pirating their shows, I think that Apple is secretly happy with it. They need pirates to help popularize their shows outside of their usual customers. Those pirates were never going to buy an AppleTV or subscribe to the service anyway. Everyone else who isn’t a cheapskate (it’s five bucks!) will subscribe.
Not yet, but I’m assuming it’ll be the same day the theatrical release was planned, which I think was June 10?
The problem I have is that I get into something more the more I watch it. If I’ve just watched something my interest in the next episode is at its peak and I want to watch it right now. That interest wanes over the course of the week as the memory fades and the events of the previous episode become less relevant in my mind.

I assume they mean the premise of the show is ironic. That premise being the defenders of Central Park are portrayed as the innocents and the underdogs, whilst its enemies are the ruthless real estate investors. This being the opposite situation from the foundation of Central Park. That’s exactly what “ironic” means.

You can turn that around and say if they release all at once but you want to watch one a week then watch one a week.

I wonder if they do it if the show might have seasonal episodes. Like maybe a 4th of July one is in the works or something like that. I just think of similar shows, like South Park, and notice they have episodes like that.
My issue with the series, is that the songs feel juxtaposed against the story. On Bob's Burgers, the songs seem natural. With Central Park, they feel like they made the script and songs separate, then they pieced it together in post.
I love their approach of releasing 3 episodes so you get invested and then a new episode every week so you have something to look forward to. Bing watching makes the experience so fleeting. But to each his own off course.
You have zero right to any media content.
You are a thief. Your attempts to justify don’t change the fact you are stealing something that doesn’t belong to you. By the same logic if you don’t agree to sell me something you own I’m justified in stealing it.
What’s your point? These aren’t “facts” you cited. They are opinions. And opinions like “exclusive drive people to piracy” doesn’t mean that piracy is ok. That logic would be like saying if someone charges too much for a car that you want then it’s okay to just steal it.
I watched the first 2 eps yesterday and enjoyed them. Nothing earth shattering. Ut a fun watch, and some differntiation vs other animated shows with the musicality of it with often ridiculous / funny lyrics (Leslie Odom Jr is amazing, and even Josh Gad is decent enough).
I also prefer the non-binge platform in some ways. Gives something to look forward to, for shows that get bigger, the shared experience of waiting / watching together with the collective others is enjoyable. Like Game of Thrones was, or The Last Dance Michael Jordan docuseries that just finished up on Netflix.

Yes. I hope Apple moves to the three episode drop followed by weekly releases for all future shows. I HATE bingeing shows and I am still angry at Netflix for introducing that scourge on humanity. And people wonder why children these days have such short attention spans.
