[QUOTE="Richards, post: 7233216, member: 508"] Personally, I hope this show fails miserably. Not because of anything the guys creating it have or haven't done (although on that front, I'm not very impressed with it), but simply because I don't want to encourage any of the networks to follow this approach. Had CBS created this show and put it on CBS, I'd be all for it and be rooting for it to do well. Likewise had it been a Netflix show from the beginning, or on HBO, or whatever, I'd be a strong supporter of having another "Star Trek" show to watch. But for a network like CBS to decide to branch out into having their own streaming service, and then put their "big" show exclusively on the streaming service (after one "free" episode on their normal network to build up interest), that's a model I emphatically don't want to encourage. Sure, the argument goes, it's not a whole lot of money a month for the streaming service. But I don't want to pay an extra fee to see the one show I'm interested in seeing on that network, and I'm certainly not going to do the same if all of the other networks follow suit. Ask yourselves: would you be cool paying for HBO and then paying extra on top of that just to watch "Game of Thrones," and paying extra just to watch "The Walking Dead" after having already paid to get AMC? (These are just two examples that popped into my head - choose your own favorite shows and networks.) I don't want to support a model where the networks all decide to charge extra for their top shows, and I end up getting nickel-and-dimed to death. Johnathan [/QUOTE]
