    Did he tell the director that he's got a long way to go to be his father?

    This is troubling:

    Is there a chart showing how much each episode costs to make?

    For the good ones, hard to believe they're not getting their money's worth. The Fab Five doc gets a pretty good rating around every NCAA tournament, seemingly. Plus Disney / ABC is going to be launching a Netflix competitor, and you'd think some content from ESPN could be lumped in there too. Unless they're having to pay a ton for rights fees, it seems weird to discontinue the series.

    I'm just curious about what it costs to make one.

  8. Several 30 for 30s are on - or used to be, anyway - on Netflix.

    Sooo - this isn't on ESPN.

    It is on the new espn + service, on Roku. I looked for it this weekend. Only available there. All new 30 for 30s will be here.

    First month free, then I think it's 4.99/month.

    I'm not adding another subscription service.

    Netflix took them all off a year or two ago.

    Netflix isn't ever the one dictating things here. I mean, maybe in the way that Company X provides a number, and Netflix won't match it. But lately, the issue has been that companies are looking to start their own streaming offerings, or their parent companies are.

    I'm not either, but if you gave me a list of boffo 3o-for-30s coming out and that was the only place to watch them, I'd be tempted. Definitely some of the best stuff ESPN does. Yet with the way the belts are getting tightened over there, maybe $500k documentaries are an easy cut. I don't know. Maybe there's a whole new batch that just hasn't been announced.
