It doesn't really matter if you still watch the show. It's a sign of a disturbing trend that's taking popular shows off free TV and increasingly onto expensive streaming services.
‘The Simpsons’ Sets 4 Exclusive Episodes For Disney+, Season 35 Premiere Date On Streamer
More and more often, we're seeing things you used to get for free disappearing behind a paywall. I get that these corporations want to increase profits, but I can't help but wonder if they're going to starve their other one-time cash cow - free TV - into oblivion.
Another example:
Hulu To Air Two Exclusive Family Guy Specials
That's a streamer not available in Canada. Whether they'll ever air here - like the shows themselves - remains to be seen. But it's a troubling trend and you can almost bet these won't be the last free shows to become pay only.
