I don't know why, but when I read the headline, I thought (visually) that Amazon had bought Mary Tyler Moore. 

 

 

 

It's early and I am getting old.

Watch this space I guess. I look occasionally at Primes offerings in NZ and there is little on there that makes me think I have to subscribe to that too (or instead of my existing subs), no doubt MGM has a good catalog. It will only be if they don't renew streaming rights with the others and become exclusive home to the MGM content that will push viewers to their platform (which I expect they will do).

 

The lines continue to blur between content aggregators and content creators.

Some sort of Freudian-slip thinking there? That would have to be Mary Gyler Moore - but MTM is deceased anyway.





Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

And Stargate.

 

 

 

The sci-fi fan inside of me is screaming "I wonder if this means Amazon will push new content around the Stargate IP?"

So Amazon will have Lord of the Rings, Wheel of Time and SG1 + the expanse, Vikings, good Omens and the boys.

 

Well, they have me sold!
