If there are millions like you then they may be on to something. I know my dad watches a bunch of those shows. NCIS is his jam. Must be a generational thing. I don't watch any of those shows. If Start Trek is good it will be the exception. -Ty -Ty On Mon, Nov 2, 2015 at 2:46 PM, Mike Hammett <[email protected]> wrote: HBO's content? No idea. I have HBO, but never watch it. CBS?

Maybe from a certain generation. The kids aren't signing up for CBS-anything for Star Trek. HBO having a dedicated streaming service is viable. How many great shows are on HBO? How consistently has HBO produced excellent content? What else does CBS have to offer except for Star Trek? take a look at this: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=popular%20cbs%20shows Tell me what they have that will draw eyeballs enough to pay monthly for streaming access to it? Maybe this show will be tremendous and they will follow it up with other top-notch programming. Only then will such a product start to become appealing. -Ty -Ty On Mon, Nov 2, 2015 at 2:35 PM, Adam Moffett <[email protected]> wrote: ...but they chose the perfect franchise to attract dedicated eyeballs.

CBS's version of netflix, hulu, hbo go....you name it. Similar to how Voyager debued, I guess, to launch the United Paramount Network... What better way to move more people to streaming?
