Suggesting a new rule for streamers: If you blackhole your own studio's content for a tax writeoff, you have to immediately post it on YouTube for free. The public has already paid you for it.

I was worried about the #GremlinsSecretsoftheMogwai show, if it was a casualty of the #HBOMaxRemovals. But I found this interview published on 10/14 with show runner #TzeChun. Not only does it say that #SecretsOfTheMogwai is set for 2023, but also lists the impressive achievements by Tze in #comics publishing and #TV.

Some good-ish news. The #LooneyTunes musical #ByeByeBunny, thought to be canceled by #WarnerDiscovery, isss.. not-canceled.. exactly. Alot of staff was let go, and good luck to their job future. But the *project* is still.. not canceled. But they are looking for other funding/publishing. So it has a chance. Source: the head of story>

The Wrap reports that #WarnerDiscovery is gaining a bad reputation among professionals. And it seems the warnings are coming from inside the house too.

Today is Saturday, and I usually watch a few short toons for breakfast to keep some #SaturdayMorningCartoon tradition going. It was #HBOMax stuff. Buuuut I think I'm going to switch over to the #Boomerang serv I'm paying for too. Goodness knows what might happen to that.

Some tweets that really got me about the #HBOMaxRemovals. First one is just a fan. The 2nd is the art director for #TigAndSeek who cant show is work to his kids.

Also an update. Word has it almost 200 regular eps of #SesameStreet have been removed as well.

HBO Max to Remove 36 Titles, Including 20 Originals, From Streaming
https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/hbo-max-originals-removed-1235344286/
There is speculation that #WarnerDiscovery is cutting shows from both streamers to save money on paying residuals as well as tax write-offs. If they tax-writeoff, they cannot make money on it at all.

(About #Batgirl and #SCOOBHolidayHaunt) "Doing so, however, would mean that Warner Bros. cannot monetize either movie — no HBO Max debut, no sale to another studio."

For so long in streaming, we believed, and to a certain extent were sold on the idea, tht these shows would always be there. Somewhere. This at least sets a president that a show can be TV-canceled on a streamer all the same as on cable/broadcast.

I cant say how FURIOUS & sad I am about the #HBOMaxRemovals. Part of it is I might not get to finish #SummerCampIsland, and I LOVE #ElliottFromEarth. But another thing all this work will be gone and unwatchable. People put heart-blood, sweat, & tears into these works. And as of Thurs night, so many will be a memory because #WarnerDiscovery "doesnt believe in it" or whatever.
