The End of Netflix DVDs: A Farewell to Red Envelopes

Netflix is ending its DVD subscription service this month, marking the closure of an era that disrupted the entertainment industry. The DVD distribution plant, once processing 1.2 million DVDs a week, now has only six employees left. Netflix's DVD business played a significant role in destroying competitors like Blockbuster and changing viewing habits. However, with the rise of streaming, DVDs have become obsolete from a business perspective. Despite reduced staff, the Anaheim facility still receives and sends around 50,000 discs a week. Netflix's DVD operations currently serve around one million customers.

Farewell Riverdale: The End of an Era in Television

The popular teen drama series Riverdale is coming to an end, marking the end of an era for teen television shows. Riverdale was the last of its kind, a parody of the teen soap genre that embraced its own absurdity and campiness. With the changing landscape of television and the shift towards streaming services, it is unlikely that we will see another teen soap with the same level of hype and fandom. The CW, the network that housed Riverdale and other iconic teen shows, is also moving away from teen TV towards more "older-skewing" programming. The legacy of Riverdale will be remembered for its joyful zaniness, sly commentary, and special cast chemistry, marking the end of a peak and a denouement for teen TV.
