Paramount+ Paramount+ Streaming Service (Formerly CBS All Access) (2 Viewers)

All content appears present on AppleTV/iOS. I think you may be experiencing either hardware specific/user specific/platform specific bug rather than an intentional removal.

On the business end, it wouldn’t make sense since they constantly run ads on social media and websites saying “all episodes available now” and then not have said episodes available.

Maybe delete and reinstall the app?

Do they really say "all episodes available"?

AFAIK, that has never been true on the CBS All Access app for at least some shows, including some still-in-production shows like Mom. Probably wasn't (quite) true for the AppleTV app portal version either... though that does seem to offer (much) more in at least some cases...

It's certainly possible this latest lost of episodes in some shows is due to some unexpected bug, which was partly why I asked. But this wouldn't be a first for episodes to be dropped/excluded (intentionally or not)...

Do they really say "all episodes available"?

When a CBS All Access show finishes its season, yes. So the ad didn’t say that while new episodes of Picard were going up, for instance, but said it immediately after the last one debuted. Same for the other original shows. I was speaking specifically of AA content.

Just checked the app on my phone and no episodes of The Good Wife are available.

Checked the app on an Apple TV and no eps of Good Wife, Good Fight, Discovery, Picard or Short Treks. The splash screen for each shows comes up and where the “Play” icon should be is just a blue rectangle like the icon is selected.

In the time it took me to check, it’s all back. So I think it was a glitch on their side.

Just had the same experience. Looked at all these shows and couldn't play anything, backed out, then went back and could play them. But all episodes ARE available...

 

[Josh Steinberg]

I think the most likely explanation is that they’re doing some backend configuration for the new service and they unintentionally caused a glitch while doing that work, or out of necessity had to temporarily turn something off while moving stuff around. I just can’t imagine they’re removing stuff intentionally when this stuff was the platform’s reason to exist in the first place.

Figures I guess... they might also be running their QA testing for the new Paramount+ app on their production system, instead of a separate, dedicated QA system, and causing problems for paying customers...

Still pretty odd how it was dropping access to some episodes, not necessarily all, for some of the shows (like The Good Wife) when I checked late last night...

Wanted to offer a mea culpa of sorts to ManW because I misread his earlier posts as being about CBS All Access show spun off from the Good Wife when he was actually talking about the original show. I’ve only ever seen CBS AA promote their original shows on social media. My apologies if I added confusion to the topic!

No worries. You were clear enough in the subsequent reply.

And the issue seems resolved sometime yesterday.

I'm still curious though why the AppleTV app portal version of CBS All Access includes lots more episodes for some shows than the dedicated CBS All Access app -- I would think it'd be the other way around if there are any diffs at all.

For instance, looks like the AppleTV portal version includes all episodes for (all 8 seasons of) Mom, but the dedicated app currently only includes the latest season -- it did include at least one prior season maybe 1/2 year ago, but that has been dropped at some point since then.

Frasier is probably my favorite TV show, and having said that, I think a reboot would have a huge void due to Mahoney’s passing.

 

[Cranston37+]

From the few interviews I've heard with Grammar about it in the last few years, the intention is to make a show related to "Frasier,"like when we went from "Cheers" to "Frasier," but not the same show.

Different setting, some old characters, some new characters. Not so much a reboot, but it's own thing.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

Fortunately, the way Frasier ended its run gives them pretty much a blank slate moving forward.

If a reboot can’t have Laura Linney as a main character, or some side plots involving the Niles and Daphne characters, then the show won’t have much of a chance IMO.

Paramount+ Super Bowl Ad.



Even Lucy Ricardo reached the summit.

 

[David Deeb]

Crack.

The classy commercial during the Super Bowl. Hard pass.

 

[Chris Will]

So, will Paramount+ include a good bi more Paramount content then what is currently on CBS AA?

 

[Cranston37+]

CBS is offering 50% off annual plans until March 3 using code PARAMOUNTPLUS. $29.99/yr with commercials, $49.99/yr without commercials.

$29.99 for a year? I'm in!

Interesting, I didn’t know there is talk to bring Frasier back for Paramount +. I knew there was talk about it from Kelsey Grammar, but there was no details before.

I’ve been binge watching Frasier recently. I never liked the way Frasier’s pursuit of Charlotte ended, and she didn’t seem right for him. The way it was shown, it was sort of vague if Frasier was going back after Laura Linney on the plane. At least that’s what I recall. I think that Frasier got back with Lilith. That feels more right to me. At least I thought he and she should have remarried.

 

[Cranston37+]

Now that I'm signed up I started digging into The Twilight Zone. I appreciate that they let you turn off the dreaded "the next episode starts in 30secs" countdown thing that usually interrupts the credits.

When CBS All Access becomes Paramount Plus on March 4th there will be a new CBS app to watch CBS shows. You sign up for the new CBS app through your cable provider, I believe.
