Disney+ subscribers have been warned as the streaming service prepares to block accounts en masse. The road for Disney+ hasn’t exactly run smoothly. Despite launching to widespread acclaim in 2019 – when it beat its own expectations and gained over 10 million subscribers in its first 24 hours – and staying strong at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, things soon fell apart for Disney’s first major foray into streaming.

Disney+ Users Warned as Streaming Service Prepares for Historical Change, Will Block Accounts Within 30 Days

I spent a lot of time last week researching David Zaslav and Warner Bros. Discovery, and by that, I mean: I listened to several podcasts. And the thing is: We all know he’s been making terrible decisions on the creative side of things (killing Batgirl and Coyote vs. Acme, pulling a bunch of old originals off of Max). He’s also been profoundly bad on the business side of things.

One of the most beloved Hollywood stars in the history of television, in particular, was actress Frances Bavier, who died in 1989 at age 85. The likable actress became best known for her compassionate and nurturing role as Aunt Bee on The Andy Griffith Show (CBS, 1960-1968).

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Disney is pulling The Simpsons off of traditional television broadcast and moving to produce subscriber-only streaming episodes of the beloved Fox sitcom. When Disney purchased 21st Century Fox in 2019, it took ownership of notable superhero franchises that Marvel Studios had its eyes on for years, like the X-Men and the Fantastic Four. So far, that has paid off with the billion-dollar box office gross of Deadpool & Wolverine, and the Mouse is counting on the upcoming Fantastic Four: First Steps to do the same.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a tiny 8lb dog named Bingo who is looking for her forever home. Bingo is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu mix with an adorable appearance and a sweet disposition. However, she needs a patient and understanding owner who recognizes that "dogs are not toys, and not all dogs love to be picked up right away," explains Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. This little lady requires some decompression time upon arriving at her new home to settle in comfortably.
