You also don't need to own a Apple device to watch these specials.
There are free periods for each of the specials.
Yep; I've experienced that on Twitter. Told a user that there are free periods for the specials and said user showed me a video of them trying to watch It's the Great Pumpkin outside of the free period yelling "SEE IT REQUIRES A CREDIT CARD!". (Well no ****ing ****; of course it'll require an account and credit card outside the free period you dumbass.)
It requires internet access which isn't free or available in all areas.
I don't know how in hell you can say it sucks to watch it streaming. What really sucks is watching it on broadcast TV and every 5 minutes another commercial break interrupts your enjoyment, and almost always it's an ad about someone's bad health or personal hygiene products.
Register your opinion about advertisements with the FCC. The AMA (American Medical Association) has petitioned the FCC to ban prescription pharmaceutical advertisements on OTA.
Ah! but these so-called fans wait until the holidays when the DVDs go up in price. LOL
What a blanket statement - they're all like that.
You don’t need any particular device, a regular old web browser will do.
With internet access. What does it cost you to access the internet before everything is "free"?
My favorite part of all of this…
If you can can sign an online petition, you already posses the tech to watch the Peanuts Specials for free! Apple TV+ even works in a web browser!
A lot of the misplaced anger is coming from people who don't know the difference from "Apple TV" the hardware and "Apple TV" the app. But, frankly, that's Apple Marketing's fault for naming things the way they did. The general public is confused over what their product is. Quite a few folks I've encountered think you need to buy an Apple TV to watch the Peanuts specials.
Maybe we with internet access are signing the petition for those who don't. But it's all about you.
I can definitely sympathize with those who have signed the petition. It's been a sort of family tradition for us at least to have the holiday specials on queue (along with How the Grinch Stole Christmas for December) and to watch them before or after Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. In our scenario, we're visiting family that doesn't have a streaming device, and the smart TV they have may not get the ATV+ app in time (though fingers crossed they do). They have a cable TV DVR where they consume pretty much all of their content. I recognize that it's simply an evolved way of delivering the content and we'll definitely have the means to make it work (whether it's through Chromecast or bringing over an Apple TV). I also recognize that it is a pretty good way for Apple TV+ to get their foot in the door as long as they continue to make the app available on more devices/TVs/etc., release Apple One, and continue to release more great content. I need to get more of our friends and family to watch Ted Lasso, lol.
So why can't there be both options? Free OTA with commercials and included in Apple's TV service - ad free.
This seems to be a segment of fans that doesn't want to pay at all.
Or are willing to put up with advertisements. Like the original Dolly Madison cupcake ads for Zingers.
Hm.. Do signatures speak louder than dollars?
Though moderators won't like this, think about the question you just asked.
100,000 morons.
Just buy the DVD already. No commercials and you can watch it when you want....without an internet connection.
The number is upwards of 175,000 and it's amazing the numbers are stacked so heavily 1 genius vs. 175,00 morons. Bet people around you are amazed by your genius.
Maybe now that there's actually content on the service, it might be worth it?
Seriously though, they were only broadcast once per season, so how is it any bigger deal to watch them via an app versus rabbit ears?
Internet access at $60 + per month.
Money, competition, and business means far more than a bunch of whiners signatures.
We love your vision of democracy.
Do you enjoy watching a show when it's convenient for a network rather than your busy schedule?
Do you enjoy spending 30% of that time watching commercials?
Do you enjoy only getting to watch the show once?
THEN SIGN THIS PETITION!
Do you enjoy waking early in the morning to go to your boss's workplace at a specified time?
Do you enjoy spending hours in useless meetings?
Do you enjoy that you only get to live a day only once?
WELCOME TO YOUR WASTED LIFE
