  2. The Closer seems inexplicably to have switched from "included in Prime" to being, like its successor Major Crimes, only available for rental or purchase. I'm especially pissed off by that because I could have watched the remainder of season 7 last week, but was waiting for my housemate to get back.

    1. Where is "Dick Tracy"? It was the Warren Beatty movie from 1991. Supposed to be on prime on Feb. 1st 2020. Guess it's not.

      Yes, The Closer expired from APV on Jan 31.

  3. This comments thread could be a lot cleaner if we all just utilized it to post "Expiring Titles On Amazon Prime". I agree wholeheartedly that its frustrating that titles sometimes expire without notice and that other titles may not arrive on Amazon Prime as expected. But, airing your grievances on this blog really accomplishes nothing. Anyway, here is a list of titles anticipated to expire from Amazon Prime at the end of the month...

    2/28 Unconfirmed - Expiring Hulu Titles (Currently On Amazon)

    A Better Life (2011) - IMDb 7.2
    Almost Famous (2000) - IMDb 7.9
    Cube (1998) - IMDb 7.2
    Cube 2: Hypercube (2003)

    2. I don't have the Hulu service, but suspected that the expiring title listed on the press release was the TV movie Exposed (2016, s/b 2011) which is currently on Prime. Thanks for verifying what's what.

  6. Announcement Update:

    Last month, we discussed how to keep the blog going. Good news - LarryG has offered to maintain the Master List with links
    at the top of the monthly post for now.

    He will be using the Master List macro spreadsheet program
    he created in Excel to produce the Blogger HTML code.

    But he doesn't have the time to do it all alone either.
    So later he may be asking if anyone would like to help
    gathering some of the links for the end-of-the-month expiring titles.
    Stay tuned.

    1. Thanks Shana and LarryG! I usually try to add the links in my comments. Does that make it easier or does that add more work?

      (Question for future reference because, amazingly, nothing on my list has a date this month)

      Delete
    2. Hi Rebecca. It makes it easier if you can provide the link for expiring titles.

      Delete
    3. Rebecca, unfortunately Amazon removed the Leaving Prime on Expiration Date Notices which displayed in the hover pop-up information windows when you moved your mouse over the movie posters in Your Watchlist.

      That is the reason you are not seeing the expiring Prime titles in Your Watchlist now.

      The Watchlist is broken. See the Feb 15 Comments below from will g and Anon. Also see Anon's good tip for how to quickly open movies in Your Watchlist in a new tab to search for Expiration Date Notices on individual movie pages.

      Be sure to check the Master List above which shows the titles that people have found expiring so far this month. You may have some of them in Your Watchlist, too.

      Delete
    4. Thanks for the replies. I will continue to provide links. No, really, I had already checked and none of my Watchlist is expiring. This never happens. I'm sure I will lose 70% of it in March or at least a couple without notice.

      Delete
  7. Hi Shana. Nice Blog. I came here looking to see if The Walton's 9 full seasons was removed from Amazon Prime. I'm pretty sure it's no longer free. I've searched the past three month archives and I don't see it listed. I'm almost sure it is a fairly recent remove because I watch the show ALL the time. Is there a way to confirm this? Does Amazon maintain a list? Can you find out? Thank you and LarryG for your work on this site. It' super useful.

      I was on season 3 of The Waltons and now it’s gone. Several seasons show the prime banner but they’re not there. No warning.

  8. There is another copy of 2/18 Treehouse (2015) that is NOT expiring.

  9. Here we go again!

    Amazon has removed the Leaving Prime Expiration Date Notices from the hover pop-up windows of expiring Prime movies in Your Watchlist!

    Who thinks this is a bright idea?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Well I figured they would do it eventually, and they finally did. Now the only way to see expiration notices is to go to each individual title's page, one by one.

      Amazon, you jerks.

      Delete
    2. Wait, does this mean the Expiry Viewer is no longer showing the expiration banners? It's been ages since I've seen one, though I'm still seeing the "Available on IMDb TV" banners.

    3. Yep I just put "Due West," expiring on 2/15, into my watchlist, no banner.

  20. Can somebody tell me if there's any point in checking my watchlist for expirations any more, or is the Expiry Viewer useless for showing them now?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes, the Expiry Viewer is useless now.

      Delete
    2. Thanks that's what I thought. Just wondering how people are still posting expiration lists. Going through their watchlists and clicking on every title? I salute them.

      Delete
    3. Unfortunately, clicking on each title one by one and looking at the individual title pages is the only way left to us.

      If you hold down Ctrl and then click on a title it opens that title page in a new tab. I open about 9 titles at a time, look at all the tabs, save any expiring titles in a bookmark folder, and then move on to the next group. I find this method a bit faster, but it's still very slow and tedious.

    The Office (UK original)

    1. Backstabbing for Beginners (2018) was theatrically released in the USA on April 27, 2018 per IMDb and Variety. [It was available a month earlier via DirecTV, the US co-distributor.] I'm inclined to believe like Ryan L. that it's more likely to expire from Prime sometime later, perhaps in May 2020. I won't be adding it to the list for now, but it's on our radar.
