So netflix is removing ALL six seasons of A Different World on March 15th. Finish it while you can y'all! :bawling: As of now, there is no explanation of why A Different World is being removed. Here is also a petition trying to save the show:

Basically Netflix has contracts with the studios or whoever has the rights to stream the shows and movies. These contracts basically have Netflix pay the provider for the right to stream the content for a certain amount of time, after which the contract has to be renewed or renegotiated. If something doesn't work out in this process then Netflix no longer streams the show.
There's a number of reasons why something might not work out. It's possible the provider wants more money and Netflix doesn't want to pay, Netflix wants to pay less for the show and provider won't go down, Netflix might see that not enough people watch the show and decide not to keep it, the provider decides not keep the show on Netflix for some reason, some outside circumstance like increase price in music rights might throw a wrench in, etc.
But it usually comes down to either Netflix wants to pay less or the provider want to be paid more.

Sucks. I believe I've watched every season as if I've never seen it more times than should be humanly allowed, though.

Lmaooooo y'all good for a damn petition. [emoji23]

Smh. I starting rewatching from season 2 last week. I wish they kept. I'll be sharing the petition link on all my social media accounts. This show is still so important. Is it even available for DVD purchase?

Is it still gonna be on Hulu?

I swear I'm so close to getting rid of Netflix. I was in the middle of bingeing Psych. Was on S6 and they took the show off. They don't even have it on the USA Network app.

A Different Word = Bill Cosby

They are Quietly erasing this man's legacy,

I was playing Shoutrageous yesterday and one of the topics was something like "Name TV Shows That Show The Power Of Family" and The Cosby Show wasn't on there. That was one of the top family shows ever. It made me sad. But 7th Heaven was on there.

Only S1 has an official release but you can buy the complete series online.

Probably because of Bill along with what the second font said. Hulu use to have all of Bill Cosby shows from when he first came out to his final sitcom Cosby (not the cosby show this was after that show). Hulu removed all of his shows months ago.

People in the comments are saying Netflix removed all the NBC content.

https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/leaving-soon/titles-leaving-netflix-in-march-2017/

eta looks more like it's NBC issue. I really don't think a petition will stop anything because Netflix has removed a lot of good NBC content.

They'll be back :disdain: this is just damage control for erasing Cosby's shows. You know whitey isn't going to deal with their beloved Friends and Criminal Intent being unavailable.

I’m late but for those who don’t know, A Different World all seasons are available on Amazon Prime. You can even purchase individual episodes.
