Comment on Disney+ and Hulu Merging Into Single App, Beta Coming in December

  I mean, I do buy hard copies of some things. But that is ludicrously far from a replacement for current TV. Many shows never get physical releases. Many shows will only get a physical release if they get enough viewers on their original platforms. Or they don’t get a physical release for years after the original airing. And that’s not even getting into how expensive it would be. To get full collections of all the shows we watch and rerun on Hulu would cost several hundred dollars. And then I’m still missing Jeopardy and Holey Moley and plenty of other shows and movies. Buying hard copies is a wildly inadequate replacement.

    I guess it depends on how much TV you watch. Physical media together with iTunes is almost enough for me.

      My wife and I are serious arts and entertainment people. We watch a lot of stuff–new and old, good and bad, any and all lengths. We met on a forum for the Dark Tower books, and experiencing and discussing art together has always been important to us. So carefully selecting and occasionally rotating paid services is a whole thing for us.
