"Max (Warner Bros. Discovery Streaming Service)" News & Discussion (Spoilers)

[AdrenalineRush1996]

I was just thinking about Sesame Street being part of this service. While we dont know how far back the archives will be, will they still be able to show Kermit sketches? Or the Simpsons cameo in Monster in the Mirror? (On the other hand, the Superman and Batman segments should have no problem)

I think they'll find a way to do so.

Sesame Workshop still has the rights to show Kermit in older episodes, they just have to mention that Disney is the current owner of him now. As for Simpsons, I'm sure they could still show that too.

I couldn't agree with you more.

It's going to be kind of weird that HBO Max might have more Jim Henson-era Kermit material than the company that actually owns Kermit.

I've heard it said that The Muppet Show is being kept off of Disney+ because of music rights. But Disney+ is including Malcolm in the Middle, and that was full of music (so much so that only the first season was released on DVD).

Keep in mind The Muppet Show is way older and the contracts inked back in the '70s did not include internet broadcasting.

Neither did shows from the pre-streaming days. The producers of Malcolm weren't even thinking as far ahead as DVD.

Heck, the major use of music is the main reason why Cold Case is unavailable on DVD, though it's still shown on syndication.

The AS portal should also include other Western adult Animation works from WB, such as Mission Hill, The Oblongs, Baby Blues, and the movie Hey Good Lookin'.

Mission Hill, The Oblongs and Baby Blues definitely would be included in the AS portal, given that the then-unaired episodes aired on there, while not so sure about Hey Good Lookin', given that it predates Adult Swim and I'm unsure it has been shown there.

It would be ironic if they included Bakshi films that couldn't pass standards on the linear channel.

 

[Fone Bone]

Hey Good Lookin' was a total mess, although to be fair, most Ralph Bakshi films are.

After all, he was responsible for kickstarting the adult animation genre.

Doesn't make his films any better.

I never said they did.

Fair enough.

The DC portal of HBOmax should include all DC adaptations that are NOT DCU Originals. From Fleischer Superman to the Burton Batman series to Superfriends to the Arrowverse it should all be included.

I concur with that.

Throw in the Batman and Captain Marvel serials while you're at it (I think they're public domain at this point anyway).

You forgot the Superman serials...or were those made after the Fleischer shorts?
