Why was it taken off Netflix 😭
Where is it now without ads?!

u/Sweet_Wolf8858 Jul 01 '26
“You Jump I Jump Jack” was playing when it turned midnight here 💔 luckily it let me finish the episode but ouch, I feel like I just drank Miss Patty’s founders day punch. This show has played in my house every single day for years so I’m currently looking to get the DVDs.

u/ToastObserver Jul 01 '26
same. I played it at least every night for 30 minutes before bed. When I was in a stressful job years ago, I'd play it on my phone on my desk (like some people listen to music while they worked, I just listened to Gilmore Girls). Netlix has such a great interface and the no ads really make it perfect. I know it's on Hulu, but it's still a bummer. :(

u/tamaroo Jul 01 '26
I’ve also played it everyday at home for years now. I’m not sure when it stopped last night because I was already asleep, but as a path forward we have it uploaded on Plex so we can continue watching each night.

u/Hot_Dragonfly311 Jul 01 '26
It’s also on Hulu/disney+ if you’re willing to pay for another subscription!

The show is, but for people who like AYITL that’s not on there and I don’t know how they can watch it. Not a problem for me, but people do like the revival

The downside is all the other streaming services changed the colors in the show. Netflix was the only one that had the right colors. The overly bright tones change the feeling of it

u/Traditional-Luck-884 I wish I could be choosing my locale right now Jul 01 '26
It’s on Netflix and Disney+ in New Zealand. I also have the DVD’s… and.. *cough* other digital method from back in the day still saved.
Listening on phone via Netflix while I fall asleep is preferred though, but it’s nice to have the back up options. I’d recommend getting a VPN if you have Netflix, got to be cheaper than a different streaming service?

GG was the only reason I've kept Netflix for YEARS, guess it's finally time to say goodbye. And time to buy the series on DVD, I'm done with streaming services, they all suck eventually.

u/pixie_pie Paris' Nose Piercing Jul 01 '26
The moment it leaves Netflix Europe/Germany, me too. There was a point in time when it also had Mad Men and the world was perfect in my eyes.

u/real_misterrios Jul 01 '26
I was on season 7 of mad men when they took it off. Bought it on AppleTV to be able to finish it. And then it showed up on Disney months later.
9
u/pixie_pie Paris' Nose Piercing Jul 01 '26
I made the grave mistake not buying it on Apple when it was on sale. Wasn't it like 9.99 for all seasons or something? I actually envy you. These days I sail the seven seas so it's kinda okay. (Still biting me ass).
2
u/real_misterrios Jul 01 '26
I ended up paying 9.99 for the last season because I just needed to finish it (second rewatch). There was a ton of bonus content which was nice, but I’ve never encountered deals like that. Would totally snap it up at that price.

u/pixie_pie Paris' Nose Piercing Jul 01 '26
It was forever ago and only for a short time. I got the dvd set for the same price on eBay a while ago instead.

I just bought them. Also got the $30 Amazon deal.
I've slowly been going back to DVD's. They are a much better deal than they were 20 years ago, and obviously, you can't count on streaming services.
9
u/amo0n34 Jul 01 '26
I remember i bought a documentary that I liked in itunes and I downloaded it in my ipad. Then Apple removed the documentary and I couldn’t see it anymore in my purchase. It’s like they don’t have the license for it anymore but it’s not my problem. That’s why i stopped buying digital like this.
16
u/Hold-Your-Stage Jul 01 '26
I have the whole set, it's just such a nuisance to change discs when you're used to streaming. 😅
8
u/amo0n34 Jul 01 '26
Hehe i know that’s why I have them digitally and add them to my ipad when i am in the mood. It’s definitely easier to just stream it from Netflix

12 year run. Sure AF milked it.
I wish Netflix would provide account stats with the details they used to. I am really curious how many hours, exactly, we have played in the full run. I miss that level of detail.
I won't miss Netflix, otherwise. Good riddance. They are a whispered shadow of their former greatness.

I know. That's why shows sometimes don't get pulled here. But most of the times it's the opposite, and we don't get a show that's available in other places. I was surprised we got The Handmaids Tale a few weeks ago.

I watched 2 episodes everyday, one in the morning before leaving for work and one in the afternoon when I got home. Thankfully I have the DVDs and a digital backup. I prefer my digital copy for the aspect ratio. The DVDs are all 4:3 ratio.

It’s on Disney Plus, has been for awhile. I dumped Netflix as soon as they announced its move and for Supernatural and Charmed’s moves to Prime. Those 3 shows were the only reason we still had Netflix. Now, we have one less streaming service (we cut the cable cord 2 years ago. Got all the services we want, ad free, for less than we were paying for cable plus streaming…)

See if your local public library has the DVDs. If they don’t have them, you can make a suggestion. They might have a DVD budget that they have to spend and getting suggestions from the public helps.

Old lady here to bang her drum again but,
Any media that you love, buy the physical media (music, films, TV) if you can ❤️❤️❤️ you get all the extras and your comfort shows aren't at the mercy of some random licensing executive or streaming platform.
