Thanks for watching today's video. What's your favorite free streaming service for classic TV shows?

Friendly now has 40+ cable channels, either family or outdoors related. They’re trying to keep costs low by avoiding sports channels that have high carriage fees. Its a good model for them.

Pluto is my free service and it is awesome. I also have Frndly as my paid service. With these two I have no need for cable TV any longer. Plus I’m saving around $200 per month. You always give great advice. Thank you sir!

Any service that carries 'The A-Team' should be required to post a red, flashing warning that the show is available there!

The only problems with Pluto, Tubi, Freevee, etc... is that they don't have all of the seasons or all of the episode's, let's say a show has 10 seasons, they might only show a couple of seasons, but not all of them. There also are missing episodes. I've compared this a long time ago. Sometimes you can't start at season 1, it might Skip to season 6 or 7.
I find that frustrating because I like to start from season 1 episode 1.
Have a great day. 😀

Pluto TV now has a 24 hour channel with Carol Burnett and Friends.

Ppl like MeTv cause they can watch Svengoolie on Sat nights....all the other shows ppl can watch anywhere

[VicMartino]

I recently lost my METV channel here in NYC and a friend of mine told me about PlutoTV as you did here. I want my METV back but at least there are some other options.

[michaelwyckoff]

You are absolutely right about Roku having plenty of apps for to find classic TV content. Pluto and Freevee are 2 of my go to for classic TV content and the Roku app has great stuff too.

[dbohnenberger]

All those free services are great, but as far as I can tell only MeTV shows Mannix. And that's only at 2AM. Fortunately, I live in an area that has MeTV in HD on its own channel.

[michaelwyckoff]

I'm still getting ME TV I hope I don't lose it because I really like the channel plus they have added ME TV+ to the channels I get from my antenna.

I am looking for a carrier that has Reelz so I can watch jail and cops.

[dougmorris]

Good video Michael, I'm going to check out your chart right now! FYI, I'm in love with Tubi. Once you register an account on there, it keeps track of everything you watch and where you left off per episode. I've also noticed that Freetvee has some great early seventies movies I couldn't find elsewhere like Butterflies are Free and Just the Way You Are. 🙂👍

My grandfathered $16 Philo plan recently got all of the channels of the $25 plan, including MeTV.

[BarbBColorReader]

I have found certain shows I enjoy streaming on free apps, like Dick Van Dyke. However, MeTV is included with Philo, though there are old shows I don't watch there. ROKU channel offers a lot of free shows, I stream a couple there, others in the free part of Peacock and Freevee.

[larrybernstein]

The question is are the shows full length or have they been massacred like the shows on Me, Antenna, Cozi, Rewind, Get, etc. to cram more sleazy lawyer, medicare, adult diaper ads.

[iamantiwar]

Who the heck is still watching those shows?😅

[tennillewalker]

That's nice to know BUT I watch MeTV for the movies on Svengoolie to be honest and Philo carries UpTV as well as TVOne unlike YouTube TV and Sling..

[SlopCommentary]

frndly tv has ME TV it's just 6, 99$

[hawaiifiles]

Pluto TV and TUBI are the best. They have stuff that MeTV don't have plus news and several recent shows. Gotta love VOD too. STIRR and Shout Factory also have some freebies, with ads of course. Plenty of classic TV to watch as long as you have internet.
