Oh I agree, needless plastic too.
Streaming or d/l is the now. I mean a game I play had a 122GB update last week, took some hours which was annoying but meh, I still played that same evening. It doesn’t matter how many episodes.
In case it isn’t already apparent, I’m talking about the first 5-8 seasons complete in particular, and notable persons/events/episodes throughout.
A lot of notable stuff is probably on YouTube etc, like Buffy Sainte-marie breastfeeding on Sesame in 1977 is posted many times. So it’s all out there in bits, not a lot of reason not to have it all out there, though you’d probably anger the ip holders
