Is Paramount trying to kill the show?
Posted by Hunkamunkawoogywoo@reddit | BeavisAndButthead | View on Reddit | 111 comments
Why the hell is it only on cable? Who the hell has cable anymore? I signed up with Paramount+ just to watch B&B, and now I'm looking everywhere to try and find out if it's even going to be on streaming or not. Why do this? What benefit is there to putting it on cable, when cable is a dying format?

the only idea that even kind of makes sense in my brain is that maybe companies are trying to prolong the death of cable by having shows that are cable exclusive rather than on streaming, because i keep seeing reports that various streaming services are struggling. but…beavis and butthead? no one is getting cable for a season of beavis and butthead, so if that’s their play, it’s stupid. and it’s a shame, the episodes last night were pretty good; nothing groundbreaking, but if you’re an old fan of the series and haven’t become a total grump, i can’t imagine not finding it funny.

I really don't think cable is going to die. I actually think it's going to grow simply based on the fact that it's now cheaper than streaming. There are so many streaming services, it's annoying to have to figure out what movie or show is on which network. This is even more confusing for sports. Cable is easy. Everything is in one place. If cable companies are able to reclaim on demand content or strikes a deal to bundle major streaming networks in one price, they'll make a comeback.

justwatch dot com tells you which show/movies are free to watch on which streaming services.
uhhwhatman@reddit
cable sucks
Patronic64@reddit
huh huh huh uhhh okay huh hu huh
tibsbulls2021@reddit
Even younger kids are getting into buying CDs and DVDs now. They like the simplicity of owning something you can hold, and it not disappearing like streaming.
starmartyr@reddit
DVR might make a comeback. VHS is deader than disco.

boulevardofdef@reddit
I don't really know why people say this all the time, it's totally not cheaper than streaming. I pay half as much as I did when I had cable, and I had cable almost 10 years ago, I don't even know how much more expensive it is now.
Coolbluegatoradeyumm@reddit
Cable is only cheaper than streaming if you have like seven streaming services. If you have one or two at a time, and keeping in mind, you can’t watch multiple things at the exact same time, that’s enough for a month.
Die_Screaming_@reddit
well, then that’s probably why they’re doing this and it might be something we see more of in the future from other studios and channels to entice people back to cable. we’ll see if it works.
junglesoldier5@reddit
I got sling to watch it lol
Scared-Pomegranate84@reddit
I actually did get sling just to watch Beavis and Butthead haha. But I know that I'm probably an outlier
InfinitlyStoned@reddit
/r piracy if you don't feel like giving Paramount money
FernFromDetroit@reddit
Eh I can’t find the new season of Beavis and Butthead anywhere. Seems there’s no torrents of it yet for whatever reason.

Pizzaman3203@reddit
I’ve always wondered how they ripped stuff on streaming sometimes I got a idm pop up on streaming services so it could be that but I figured it would be encrypted in someway also how do they rip stuff on cable?
Unfair-Signal-6163@reddit
I've been keeping an eye on those sites, and have not found it yet.
GiantDrag_@reddit
1pixmedia if you have fire stick
JDanzy@reddit
If they won't put the damn thing on Paramount+ which PEOPLE ARE PAYING TO WATCH there'll literally be no other way to watch it.
Jewggerz@reddit
You don't determine what is and is not a dying format, the audience doesn't determine what is and is not a dying format. The advertisers do, and if they're still willing to pay top dollar to advertise on tv, that's where the content will be.
Hunkamunkawoogywoo@reddit (OP)
Statistics show that cable is a dying format.
Jewggerz@reddit
Statistics show that cable’s audience is leaving, however, advertisers are still willing to pay top dollar to advertise on television. It doesn’t matter if there are 10 cable subscribers on the planet, if advertisers are willing to pay to advertise on cable, there will be programming on cable.
Slipknot-Nirvana-Fan@reddit
I have yt tv and im watching it just fine
Sardonic-@reddit
Dude it’s on amazon…
Independent-Data4542@reddit
Nope
Sardonic-@reddit
I don’t see why you’re complaining, not when there’s a free trial.
Independent-Data4542@reddit
This thread is about the new season, season 3. The one not on Amazon.
Sardonic-@reddit
But I solved your problem. Whomever was whining about pay walls, I suggested Amazon, and there’s a link there to get it for free from Paramount.
The object is to get to see the shows without paying. Which I solved.
Sounds like you’re grasping at straws
civiltribe@reddit
this is a pretty confusing move, look at how much attention king the hill gets on an easily accessible platform but paramount is dropping the ball on this series, I dunno if this is Viacom or what but even with a friends paramount account this isn't watchable. so I have to use iptv to watch it live every week. at least the first episode is up on cc if you Google it but not on their website in yet another confusing move. but finding the 2nd ep of season 3 is impossible it appears. it wasn't shared on any of my pirate sources when I checked last night.
GetoBoy420@reddit
I put it on my Google drive after I figured out how to download it lol
rottenrotny@reddit
Was wondering why I couldn't find it on P+
Thought I was taking crazy pills
ryandmc609@reddit
Same. Sat down to watch the new episodes today and like WTF. I thought Paramount Plus was broken…
Charming_Sheepherder@reddit
And they wonder why we choose to set sail on the open sea.
Arrrrrr.
FormerGameDev@reddit
Paramount and the cable companies have previously been right hand doesn't know what the left hand are doing. Email people. Make sure the new owners know what you want.
oldlinepnwshine@reddit
Cable isn’t going anywhere. I never got rid of cable. If anything, people will eventually come back to cable. The streaming services are too busy raising their prices, cannibalizing one another and adding more commercials.

there’s a real easy solution brother

Drop the link if you got it scatman

Private trackers for the win. Both of mine have had it a few hours after it came on
Hunkamunkawoogywoo@reddit (OP)
Been looking
Magnetron85@reddit
I've yet to find a site where I can 🔽 and I'm usually able to get just about everything. Have they just not been released?
DeepFriedStrudel@reddit
This is why we are all here. Link it
SomeoneElseX@reddit
Buy cable?
Admirable-Media-9339@reddit
I mean that's avoiding the entire point of his question. The show won't stay on if nobody is watching. If everyone is sailing the high seas then the numbers will show nobody is watching.
Thorn_Within@reddit
You realize that there are streaming TV services? I watched it on Sling. I haven't had cable in about a decade.
sychox51@reddit
Is it on demand or did you watch it live? Who watches appointment tv anymore?
Thorn_Within@reddit
VOD. Sling and other streaming TV services have DVR functionality. I hardly watch anything that's not DVR'd anymore.
sychox51@reddit
But you had to schedule it? Or can I sign up today and watch it?
Thorn_Within@reddit
On any service you have to add the show to your list/library, then it records them automatically. But most of them have a backlog of episodes to watch after they have aired. Sling is a bit different and I'm actually new to it. I had been on YouTube TV for years and just got tired of them raising rates so often and switched. Sling does have VOD content, but I haven't fully explored all of it. I just added the show to my list and it recorded it. But if you sign up for anything and add a recent show, it will repeat at some point and record the repeat.
sammywarmhands@reddit
Oh no! I’ve been looking forward to watching it on the app this weekend
AwkwardTraffic@reddit
Paramount is like this to every show that isn't South Park and that is only because Trey and Matt had the clout to get a semi decent deal
frankie0812@reddit
I love South Park but it’s bullshit they got a 1.5billion dollar deal with paramount and yet we get an episode every other week
Feisty_Affect_7487@reddit
I just downloaded the first episode on u torrent
NerdyBirdyAZ@reddit
i don't see the 2nd one up :(

Hunkamunkawoogywoo@reddit (OP)
I'm not finding it there
That_Bank_9914@reddit
I’m mad about his and the fact that they removed South Park and most of the CN cartoons I care about from Max. If these companies don’t want to have their shows be accessible by legitimate means, what do they think their consumers are doing to do?
mcrib@reddit
they removed it from HBO and moved it to P+ because they own P+. HBO was a legacy contract they were waiting to expire. that makes perfect sense.
Much_Duck8484@reddit
Only old episodes are on P+ I watch it on YouTube tv with the streaming part for comedy central and they have the new episodes on that or get the Comedy Central I think it can be streamed on that also
DaveGX3@reddit
I honestly haven't seen any revival episodes of B&B on their YT ch, just the old 1s.
Much_Duck8484@reddit
They have it that’s on YouTube tv lol
DaveGX3@reddit
None the episodes show up on YT when I go to their ch and click the buy option and I'm in the US.
mcrib@reddit
I’m not paying YouTube $80/mo to watch fucking Beavis. I’ll gladly set sail for now and watch when they eventually hit P+
IllimitableNebulie92@reddit
I can’t find any sign of it being on in the UK at all. And it was the main reason I got Paramount when the last ones came out! Buttknockers.
Usual_Patience7969@reddit
it will eventually be on paramount plus. Viacom just made the decision to move it to Comedy Central for the initial premiere
younglegends111@reddit
should have bin of Hulu like King of The Hill. Mike Judge could have stopped this nonsense. $ corrupts.
PaulN7687@reddit
This show is the only reason I have Paramount+. What a stupid decision.
Plastic-Amphibian637@reddit
If the deal is that they have to wait for the whole season to air before it goes to streaming, i can make peace with that. At least i know it’ll be here eventually.
But given that paramount is literally the streaming home of everything Beavis and Butthead, i’ll be pretty mad if they aren’t putting it there at all. Not sure who would approve that idea
vangroovybaby@reddit
I just watched the new episodes on pressplay .cam , couple audio glitches here and there but I couldn't find them anywhere else.
Unafraid_AlphaWolf@reddit
can you link it?
maximumtesticle@reddit
You for sure have google on your internet, I promise you this.
Infinite_Ocean89@reddit
I can confirm also that this works 😁. Watching the second episode right now
Michaelpitcher116@reddit
This is the answer. Thanks fellow sea dweller.
WaffleBunghole@reddit
This works! Thankyou!
dankp3ngu1n69@reddit
I'll shamelessly admit that I got it from the seven seas
I'm not paying Paramount Plus they can suck my dick
I got it the same way I'm getting the new South Park season
Sure some people might play their game and buy their services but you're going to get people like me that just stick their middle finger up at them and go yeah no thank you
I'll either get it the way I've gotten all my content for the past 30 years or I won't watch it.
Rainmaker_55@reddit
I just pirated it when I saw it was only on cable. I ain’t getting Comedy Central for one show
Kulban@reddit
What?! I can't watch this on Paramount+?! I've been a cord cutter longer than most, since at least 2009. I'm not going to get that shit back nor am I going to pirate.
Well, they made it a little easier to decide which streaming service to drop first.
grn_eyed_bandit@reddit
EXACTLY
roncopenhaver13@reddit
Personally, I’m happy I can now cancel Paramount Plus. I’ve been paying for Beavis and Butthead for a couple years with no payoff and now they’re on cable. So thank god bye bye streaming
TruckersAreBored@reddit
They did the same thing with Yellowstone final season, I just don’t get it.
edwardw818@reddit
Oh geez, thanks for the heads up!
I was actually going to sign up for Paramount once I found a job, but I guess you just saved me a lot of headache and even money; B&B would've been the only reason I'd even bother to justify paying for a 3rd streaming service!
Neither ISP that services my apartment has physical cable, the one I'm using with better internet speeds doesn't have a contract with Paramount, and the one that does is a glorified streaming package (not real cable) and has lower but more expensive internet speeds. How out of touch are those bungholes?
apocolipse@reddit
Eh, to be fair streaming cable providers like sling, youtubeTV, hulus live tv, are about as good as physical cable these days anyway. Physical Cable providers like Comcast and Verizon have taken a shit on quality, and their “HD” streams are compressed garbage. There was a time when fios TV was the best option for picture quality, but they really just gave up or something.
Nintendoll182@reddit
I remember when the “third” season was announced, the article I read about it alluded to this happening. I was hoping it was a misunderstanding - but unfortunately I guess that’s what they’re doing. It is kind of annoying when the advertising they’ve done for the show since then has not been clear at all.
Nintendoll182@reddit
I meant to add that they did make it clear it would be on Paramount+ after the season had ended. Similar to how the first two aired on Comedy Central after they were done.
JDanzy@reddit
Not even a "Season 3 will stream on [date, time] on Paramount +," not a goddamn thing.
If they don't have it up by say, Monday, time to think about canceling.
Belle_19@reddit
Paramount is in the shitter its not specific to this show
Original-Split5085@reddit
What's the line between what is considered streaming and what is considered cable? I stream everything, but I subscribe to Fubo, which has Comedy Central. But Fubo and many other streaming services perform just like cable, there just isn't a physical cable. Other than that I pay money, I have a collection of channels etc.
Michaelpitcher116@reddit
I have paramount also. Frankly if the new season isn't coming to the service I pay for to watch b and b, I'm gonna sail the high seas. Full stop.
Careless-Owl-7100@reddit
Comedy central after south park
ACW1129@reddit
I have cable. Fuck Paramount Plus.
jwoo3x@reddit
So I specifically rem3mber the implication that it'd be streaming too....hmm...
Has anyone confirmed there's not a streaming date or like the episodes will show up on Paramount + a week later or something?....
Let's blame skydance even though it'd unlikely they made the decision 😂
Stracharys@reddit
I looked it up and it says it will “eventually” stream on Paramount Plus, but not when. From what I gather, it may not be until after the entire season ends. I don’t have cable anymore, so I don’t mind waiting a day (like South Park,) or even a week (like Resident Alien,) but to not know is some bullshit!
bolinas@reddit
This is the one occasion I’m stoked on hotel tv over my home options.

That is so stupid... And this folks it what turns people into pirates.
Kulban@reddit
Well, I just voted with my wallet and was very specific with the "other" reason why. Left them a review and email too.
I'm glad they brought back the show. But if they're going to keep it from me, then they deserve to be punished.
IveGotSomeGrievances@reddit
I was wondering why I couldn't find new episodes on the app. 😮💨

I'm pretty pissed about it.

Same. I was even willing to pay a couple bucks to buy the new episodes off of Amazon or iTunes but can’t
