  This is my biggest gripe. I have all of Mr. Show on DVD because it cant be taken away from me. Netflix deleted an episode of w/ Bob and David, so to watch the whole thing you have to pirate it. And the rub is the deleted it because David does blackface in one of the sketches where head trying to provoke cops at a traffic stop.

  Scenes of him in the now deleted episode are in the final one because its a documentary of sorts, but that one is still up. So you see them talking about sketches that you have no reference for because Netflix deleted them.

  They didn’t clarify in the article, but I assume they mean they will still sell 4K UHD discs. Those often include a Blu-ray copy as well.

    I would assume they would have to keep selling them. It’s kinda hard to push the latest and greatest TV tech (and therefore TV sales) if you don’t have high bitrate media to show it off with. Streaming services aren’t giving you full UHD Bluray quality in order to save on bandwidth, so outside of piracy, physical media is your only option.

    Probably not. I don’t think any of those things sell well enough to be worth the shelf space.

    My local supermarkets hardly stock any 4K discs at all. It was mostly just bargain bin DVDs.

  The media, sure. Firmware updates to remove the key to decrypt it? Possible
