Following the March 24 Season 19 finale, "American Dad" will exit TBS -- where it is the last original scripted series -- and return to the FOX network for its 20th season and beyond with a multi-year renewal about to be signed.

Does anybody sell a dumb streaming box outside of Roku ? Like I want to be install Netflix as an app and watch it on my TV. But I otherwise dont want to login to google/amazon/apple ?

Failing that is their a #Floss solution here that would also be low maintenance and user friendly on my family.

“We are clarifying that, as we continue to increase the breadth and depth of the content we make available to you, circumstances may require that certain titles and types of content include ads, even in our ’no ads’ or ‘ad free’ subscription tiers.”

TLDR: “you paid for no ads, but we are making you watch them anyway.”

🤦🏻

#Hulu#Streaming#Ads

New #disneyplus, #Hulu, and #espnplus #TOS allows for #advertisements even on ad-free paid plans! The fuck!? What's even the point then? Enshittification marches ever onward.

From the email:

[...] For prior and existing subscribers, [...] will be effective beginning on March 24, 2025, unless you acknowledge an in-app notice of these changes earlier.

For new subscribers, they're already in effect.

#Hulu updated its subscriber agreement today, "clarifying" that "no ads" or "ad free" subscription tiers can include ads.

We're all living in Alice in Wonderland now.

Well, that was interesting. I walked in the room where an interview on TV was taking place about the Irish Troubles. I looked up the author #PatrickKeith and thought it was a book, and it is, so #bookstodon . Wrong about what the promo was for, though--it's a show on #Hulu now.

The Irish tend to have gallows humor about things so I'm going to take this opportunity to mention #TheIrishRovers who had this take on "The Orange And The Green"

@arstechnica So, hypothetically of course, streaming from my laptop to the TV is still the best deal if I were to use ad blocking apps to watch YT uninterrupted as some channels have way too many commercials.

I dropped #Hulu this year because they raised their prices again without providing any extra value. My kid already has Disney+, making it an unnecessary, unwanted feature that [likely] drove up the cost and lost them a customer. Same for YT; with no extra value there is now definitely no way I will subscribe.

Robot Dreams Is a Secret Masterpiece

The Real Jims takes a break from going on and on about #TheSimpsons, to talk about a #movie. Well, I'll be.

In this one, he makes a fantastic review of a fantastic #film. He has a non-spoiler and a spoilers section. Both do a great job describing the movie. With things I had not realized.

And I'll say it here, if you would like to watch #RobotDreams, it is on #hulu. Do yourself a favor.

Cultural stereotypes and their reality parallels, television fiction and their tropes, even economic and other systemic methods of controlling how real life unfolds: it’s all here in ten episodes of brilliance.

It takes a couple of episodes to find its rhythm — there are a lot of moving parts to put into place — but you’ll be rewarded for your patience.

Very highly recommended.
