Netflix let its Viacom streaming deal expire last month, and Amazon took advantage immediately. The Kindle-maker's Prime service now has exclusive rights to kids' titles like "Dora the Explorer," plus adult fare from MTV and Comedy Central.

Amazon played up the kids' content in its announcement Tuesday, noting that the multi-year deal includes several titles from Viacom's Nickelodeon and Nick Jr.: "Dora the Explorer," "SpongeBob SquarePants," "Blue's Clues" and "Fairly OddParents." The adult shows include MTV's "Awkward" and Comedy Central's "Tosh.0."

Viacom controls channels such as Nickelodeon, Nick @ Nite, TV Land, BET, VH1, and Comedy Central; just to name a few.

Does this mean that there will be no more Stand-up Shows on Netflix?

I have Hulu Plus and they have the newest season of South Park(I think 16 seasons is what they have.) I think Hulu gets most if not all shows and episodes first before Netflix.

There may be stand-ups still on there, but you won't find stand-ups owned by Comedy Central anymore such as the celebrity roasts.

Yeah I've seen every South Park multiple times but love watching it at night and when Netflix took it off I was pretty disappointed. I think i will be switching to Hulu Plus today then. Thanks for the reply

You might as well move to Hulu Plus then am I right? They have mostly everything Netflix now doesn't.

That hasn't been said. It seems that the Amazon Prime/Viacom deal is final so I would expect Amazon to slowly add Viacom content over the course of the week.
