I like the convenience of streaming any tv show at the touch of a button.
If it works for you great, you're lucky.
I only recently started streaming shows and it's been a bag of mixed results. Example, I wanted to watch all 5 seasons of the original
The Odd Couple. It's not like it's an obscure show from the past and yes it's available to stream. I was able to stream it for free, with commercials, on Pluto. Only when I was done watching all 5 seasons I went back and compared the episodes count to what IMDB had listed and for some reason there were dozens of missing episodes on Pluto.
I searched and seen it was on pay-for-streaming on Paramount+ which I'd used in the past to stream all the episodes of the original
The Love Boat and without commercials. So I re-signed up for Paramount+ only to find out that
The Odd Couple was still missing a bunch of episodes and despite the fact that I was paying to stream I still had to endure a ton of commercials in each episode, ugh. After four days I cancelled my subscription to Paramount+.
Then I went old fashion, I borrowed the
The Odd Couple from my library....Voilą now I have all the episodes from seasons 1,2,3 and 5 along with special features. Unfortunately somebody had lost season 4 of
The Odd Couple and my library only had one copy of it. So now I'm scouring the depths of foreign websites looking for the missing episodes of this American classic show. Why do things have this damn hard.
