Don't watch much of any of them, tbh.

My wife pays for Prime for her shopping. There's a near-100% chance that will be kept by default.

We like HBO but we've seen pretty much everything on it. Their original series are great, but Band of Brothers is about the only one I'll revisit regularly. Want to keep it for Silicon Valley, Curb, and Barry for the most part. Maybe the next True Detective.

I barely watch Hulu but my wife likes Grey's Anatomy, ER, and Handmaid's Tale.

Kids mostly watch Netflix children's content, but they could just as easily get on the Disney stuff. We try to limit their screen time so they're not watching much to begin with. They typically watch TV for a half hour or so, unless it's a movie night.

Leaning towards getting rid of Netflix.

It's a new season of everything for like the next 9 months, and you can watch it all through the internet (CBS/Fox etc). Getting D+ for 2 weeks (Free trial whatever) would let you watch most of the stuff you want initially, then I'd wait till more gets released before signing up.

Ditch all the rest (other then Amazon if you need the shipping...but you don't really need the shipping).

Tons of stuff for the kids to watch on the channels available online.

No real need to pay for any streaming service at this point unless there is a specific show you want to watch, then just pay for 1 month to watch all of it.

If you pay for all of those, that is a ton of money being thrown away.

Get rid of HBO GO. Just renew it for a month when new seasons of shows you watch release.
Maybe ditch Netflix too, but only after you see what Disney+ has in terms of kid content. (Which they should have a ton of tbh.)

I suppose I could, just seems like we're not using them all to their full benefit. Netflix has a few movies I'll watch and we were watching Stranger Things but haven't even seen Season 3 because my wife is not interested in it any more.

She does a lot of shopping on Prime and gets a discount at Whole Foods (which while overpriced for a grocery store is the closest to our house). Like I said, near 100% chance my wife isn't going to cancel that.

I like the idea of canceling GO and renewing when I want to watch something...

Yeah, Go is totally a waste, there is hardly ever anything worth it on HBO sadly. I liked pretty little liars or whatever that one was and a few other shows but nothing new is coming out soon.

Netflix for kids makes some sense I guess, since it's easy to use/setup etc, but I still think you can do that from kids network and just youtube videos etc pretty easy.

Hulu again is great...when it has something new. It does let you watch currently airing shows...but now all the channels pretty much let you do that as well (with comercials though).

Disney might be worth it since it's cheap, especially sinceyou have kids, but you can try it out first and see. There is a hulu/disney bundle as well, so that might be worth it.

Amazon ...shrug.....honestly nothing to watch on their service at all (most everything on there you can watch from IMBD freedive.....for free). They do have some good exclusive shows every once and a blue moon but you can just get prime that month in a pinch as well.

I mean if you pay for hulu + disney + amazon + netflix + HBO your talking about $60 or so a month probably...seems like alot, especially if your paying for cable as well.

We don't have cable. I think on Prime I was watching Sneaky Pete, Man in High Castle and something else. Kids watch Tumble Leaf and stuff on there. So we do use it.

In order of use it probably goes:

Netflix (mostly the kids, and they could watch D+ instead)
Hulu (wife watches it every week)
Prime
GO

Nah, he just literally is turned on by Disney. I mean, not even just the princesses, he has a Donald Duck sex pillow and stuff.

Cable is SO obsolete now. You can watch all the shows on their websites (CBS etc), for free. Yeah, you have comercials, but you basically get a DVR for free (Since you can watch them whenever you want), and it doesn't cost anything per month (though you need internet or a cell phone plan).

I'm considering upgrading to an unlimited plan myself so I can just watch TV shows on the go anywhere. It's not much more then I am paying already, and I'd get a free phone for switching/upgrading.

Cancel hulu and then get it bundled with disney plus for a cheaper price on the two combined. Once your wife finishes what she watches on hulu then cancel that part of the bundle.
