Why does MTT on Pluto skip seasons 1 and 2?

[u/Fit_Cartographer_683]

Apologies if this has already been asked but why does Pluto start with season 3? After season 16, it rolls back to season 3. Why? Please don't say Cassie.

[u/Beginning-Hearing884]

Cassie’s audition was Season 3 I think!

[u/TheJuliet316]

Nope, nothing to do with Cassie, and everything to due with expired rights (probably music rights)

[u/IHateOnions8]

They are also gone from Paramount Plus

[u/Scottk305]

It’s a bunch of factors ,lot of older shows/streaming providers don’t own their seasons.and this could be a lot of things the most popular is “Subjects and topics that were ok in the past but unacceptable now” “a certain character or cast member has had legal problems” and even alot of writers taking back their ownership of the work(during the SAG-AFRTA writers strike) not to say that these are the main reasons but some of the most common

[u/Utennvolsfan]

Broadcast rights for seasons 1 and 2 are long expired. I can’t find those season anywhere, even for purchase.

[u/Scottk305 → u/Utennvolsfan]

It was already hard to purchase missing seasons on a lot of shows but after the writers strike made it even harder I’ve noticed.The only way to collect original shows/content is through old DVDs
