Youtube has already done it.

Yup.

It is amazing how resilient monopolies are as a business species. One dies? An even bigger whale comes along. It happened with Ma Bell with the cell phones too.

In what way?

In what way?

YoutubeTV is basically cable, just packaged and delivered in a different way.

I'm gonna no-eye this shit. Only the first two were good. Probably end up like the Ghostbusters reboot.

Well of course but it's much cheaper and it's not streaming so that's not what I think we're referring to here. I actually like it much better than cable.

Yep. The third one was horrendous and it felt like they tried to turn it into an action movie, which violated the spirit of the original.

Cool story. My dad went to high school with "Phil" in the first one...

Ok not too cool story but you read it anyways.

Is that the one with a young Dexter in it?

Yeah, he plays one of the brothers that are at the center of the show. The other brother is Peter Krause (think he's currently playing a fire chief in 911 or something, was also in Sports Night.)
