Mark,
   I will see if I can manage this later. I just now fired off an email 
to Apple Accessibility. I didn't pull punches. Hope others will do the 
same. This a serious boo boo on Apple's part.

Hello E. T.,

First, let me say that this is the second time that Apple has tried to force 
everyone to use the TV app on TV OS instead of the native TV Shows app.

Second, I hate it just as much, today, as I did last year when they reduced the 
native TV Shows app functionality.

Third, there are two ways you can get the TV app to play and/or resume a 
particular episode from the last time you watched a television series.

The first way is to simply scroll through the Next up section of the TV app, 
located in the Home area of the app.

The second way and, which more closely resembles the TV Shows app, is to use 
the search field to type in the name of the series.  When you see the name of 
the series appear in the results list, select it and then press the down arrow 
after the series opens.  You will be placed on the next episode to be played, 
just as was the case in the TV Shows app.

 If you folks updated to the latest version, what do you think of it.
Me, I think Apple should have left well enough alone. Somehow I managed to 
watch an episode of a TV show last night. Tonight I could not watch another 
episode. And play counts are gone so I had to scroll to the desired episode.
