Lauren Conrad Examiner: Why are The Hills episodes gone at MTV.com?

Lauren Conrad can no longer be accessed at MTV.com, every episode from all the seasons of The Hills are not able to be watched online.

Sadly, the same goes for every episode of The City, and Laguna Beach (Season 1), but all other Laguna Beach seasons can be watched, along with short-lived Newport Harbor.

Apparently, this has become an ongoing issue with all these three shows, the inability to watch has manifested almost four months, according to MTV comments.

This examiner doesn't see this as a technical difficulty, it's because The Hills & Laguna Beach are still crown jewels, so MTV has forced desperate fans to go out and buy the DVD box sets.

MTV figure DVD's keep Laguna/ Hills making money, free avenues online, on cable, or in syndication hurts an outlet The Hills can do well in because syndication did badly.

Another factor keeping The Hills from airing online is that it threatens the popularity of new properties like Jersey Shore and Teen Mom, fitting in to MTV's new-old reality programming, involving no apsirations.

Yes, the Millenials have gone from audacious to conservative due to harsh economic times, but that doesn't mean Lauren Conrad & The Hills have to deemed inappropriate.
