Got an email saying instead of paying $21 a month for both, now i'm paying $11 because they are merging and the subscriptions combine. That adds some value to Paramount imo, Showtime has some good original series. News was from a couple months ago, but I guess the merger happened officially yesterday.

So showtime shows will be on Paramount plus at no extra charge? Last time I looked they had showtime but it was an extra fee

That's what it seems like, but I think Paramount is a dollar or two more per month now.

Oh I see it's still extra. Damn

But I think it might be cheaper for the upgrade than it used to be

The new launch and couple of seasons of Beavis and Butthead are fantastic, they did a good job bringing it back and modernizing it with tik tok clips and whatnot on top of music vids. I feel like it's not getting enough love, there's been some gem episodes.

Yup, its been hilarious. The one where they get a marriage licence without realizing it is my favorite so far.

Your Honor season 1 was pretty good

Moonbase 8 was enjoyable if you like the cast

All while cable providers are getting cheaper and providing great bundle deals.
Last year my contract expired for cable, they removed the contract, added hbo, showtime and starz without raising the price and now I get Max and their streaming apps free with it.
Honestly, if you're getting close to $100/month on services, you might as well get cable and everything that comes with it.
My next goal is to add a channel pack of a whopping $5 for dozens more channels and on demand.

These streaming services pulling content are getting out of hand. Following the online rabbit hole of clicking various links, I just saw the Paramount+ orginal Grease series has been removed from the service for tax write off reasons. The last episode aired earlier this month and now its gone.
