Dennis the Menace now requires pay subscription

So Roku now requires a pay subscription to watch Dennis the Menace.

Is this the start of a new trend by Roku?

If so, I will be switching to another TV OS.

Do you know what service it was being watched on? Maybe it was dropped from The Roku Channel, but it available elsewhere. A quick check shows Tubi has 4 seasons available. Tubi is free, and also seems to have fewer ads than many other free services. Just install the Tubi app and watch it. The link is just to their web site, to show it is there, although you can also watch it on your computer or phone in a web browser.

I am assuming you mean the 1960's TV series.

It's the nature of streaming. Rights are acquired and expire. Once Roku no longer has the rights to something, they'll point out where it can be watched on some subscription service. Agreements often expire at the end of the month, so it may have been free to watch on 10/31, but not on 11/1.
