Today several users reported that a handful of significant Cartoon Network shows—including Ben 10, Steven Universe, Regular Show, the 2016 Powerpuff Girls revival, Amazing World of Gumball, We Bare Bears, and Chowder—were suddenly no longer streaming on Max with the turn of the month, with no prior announcement of their impending removal.

Just removing Steven Universe alone seems insane to me. I’m not into it, but it has a massive fan base.

    It’s not a cartoon but I still don’t understand why I can’t watch episodes of Tales From the Crypt on Max. It was an HBO show.

      The World According to Jeff Goldblum was a show made by and for Disney+. They deleted it for tax purposes. There is no legal way to watch the show now. Completely gone.

        Same with The Mysterious Benedict Society. I did find a site that would sell it to me on a disc, but once I received it, it became clear to me they didn’t actually have a license to do so and just sold me a bootleg. Oh well. I dunno why Disney just didn’t want my money in the first place.

          They are now quite a bit dated unfortunately First and last seasons are not great, but there are some good ones in there still. It’s just not how I remembered them back in the 90s. Still worth a watch.

            I’ve watched a few on YouTube and the quality isn’t great. The shock and gore is still there though. Some of those episodes left me scarred as a kid.

            What??? Season 1 is still great! Just watched the Lea Thompson episode “Only Sin Deep” last night. The show is timeless imo

            -but also, yeah just buy the series, it’s so worth it

              For me, the first season was them finding their way. The ones after were much better, imo. Better stories, better budget.

              Could hardly watch the later shows that were in England.
