Well Paramount+ went live with their episodes today. The main bad news is that it seems they will be very staggered, with only a few released so far.
The great news is that they are uncensored (see Woodshop), with music videos, intros, and credits more or less intact. A few nitpicks about some of those things, but generally they’ve released some good material. Cow Tipping has never been released on home video, and only low quality versions were available. Quality looks good, with some dust, specs, and small scratches occasionally present from the film.
These seem to come from broadcast masters. In addition to the Woodshop lack of censorship, there is a trace of the commercial bumper left in Cow Tipping.
Does this mean king turd v3 can be improved with P+ episodes?
Absolutely. They’ve already upgraded Cow Tipping, Woodshop, and Buttbutt Hike with the mere 7 episodes they’ve added. Plus Black Hole Sun and possibly some of the other music videos. Now without channel logos.
This is big, and hopefully many more will be added. It could end up being more about how the sources used to make KT (which I do have available) can patch a few spots in P+.
All 200 eps are supposed to be coming out on it soon enough.
Yeah, staggered this summer. The caveat is that I don’t think Paramount has ever said all episodes. >200 has been said, but that already includes some of s8 (there are 222 including S8).
So, there could be some small wiggle room for a few they really don’t want to air. And maybe a few music videos won’t make the cut. But it should be a ton of good content.
It’s also possible some edits would be baked in anyway to whatever masters they’re using because supposedly MTV altered the actual finished masters themselves in some episodes
