Well, plus, dvds are probably going to be phased out - so it's easy for them to let them have dvds. And easy to see why the writers don't want to be screwed over for rights on internet and on demand plays.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

In what time period? I'd think (assuming Blu-Ray and its ilk are covered) they'll be around for at least the lifetime of videos...and it seems silly to have to renegotiate for each technology breakthrough, I just realised.
Slow.

I know. They need to figure out a formula or language that could be adapted to new media as it happens.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I wish someone would take that information and put it into a format where we could see when the last new episode of each series would air, so it becomes apparent how exactly the television schedule becomes fucked.

Info on some other shows would be nice too. One can assume, based on the schedule of similar shows, but a lot of the shows I watch aren't on that list.

Yeah. Part of the problem is how hard it is to establish the status of some of the shows. I definitely think one big list of everything would be both useful and show everybody how messed up this is gonna get.

"Don' be e-scared"
polter-cow --
Be ye not confused. Though it's hard not to be. When it comes to those handy streaming full episodes -- you know, the ones with the IMBEDDED commercials that you can't skip? -- nothing. Nada. They're calling that "promotional." Back in the 80s when the new market of video tape sales/rentals was born, the lawyers decided to call that "merchandising." The lawyer-double-talk of not calling a thing a thing is a long view strategy for the "moguls."
also, this is good --
