Sounds like your leaving cable for the same reasons we did, the price was the other reason because it sure was a lot of money to pend just to see the same few shows over and over because nothing else was on.
Yes, the bill is outrageous for a steadily worsening lineup. I thought it was bad during the recession when it was all reality shows and sasquatch chases, but it's somehow gotten worse since then even after rectifying the over abundance of those types of shows.
I laughed in my above post because this was actually difficult to accomplish, there was much boomer wrangling involved and pointing out lack of common sense in paying such a hefty fee for basic cable TV only because it's familiar, and whatnot. The holdout reason evolved after much effort from "Idonwanna" and "I get my way and get mad at persistent suggestions" to a more rational center around a regional sports channel that now finally offers a streaming service, so it's time as per the agreement (if it isn't walked back now that it's due). Hopefully no more explaining "it's free but you have to watch ads if you don't pay for it" to someone who watches dozens or hundreds of mandatory commercials per day on 5x as expensive basic cable for the TV portion alone, with nothing but (not) 24/7 news and said regional sports to watch in the lineup. About the only thing going for it was the record and storage bit to save movies that have made it to TV, but that's basically a streaming service you have to set recordings for...
Sorry, it was a lot of frustrating argument for a relatively simple thing that benefits them (financially mostly) far more than I, who barely watches television anymore.
Also, as a sidenot to represent what basic cable has degenerated to, I lament what History channel became in the 2000s. They've put actual history shows on another channel not in basic cable with an exception for actual history shows on certain holidays. I did like Pawn Stars, pickers and such but finding a historical documentary there isn't done anymore except patriotic holidays, and the shows on the other channel not on basic cable are usually decades old re-runs I watched in the Bush or Obama era, judging from the menu's production dates. At least they gave up looking for sasquatch everywhere but on Oak Island...
Irrelevant tangent over, resuming discussion of 'toons
The first season of Primal, the witch coven one, was my least favorite. I think I liked the one with the plague the most; that sauropod was awesome when it tried to jump on the main characters.
I saw the promo episode of Birdgirl, it looked pretty good. Harvey Birdman was one of my favorites. How did Birdgirl turn out? Still running episodes?
