You still have a DVD player? Do you also wash your clothes on a rock down by the river?


Record players are making a comeback, so you can suck it

We have a DVD/BluRay player in our living room, a little tv with an integrated dvd that they sometimes use for sister sleepovers and at least one portable DVD player for trips.

I also still have a vcr AND a cassette tape deck. Those aren’t currently hooked up, but I still have some old movies and cassette tapes I just can’t part with.

Peacock needs to make deals with other companies. So aggravating that only one of our TVs can get peacock-the guest room with the roku.

Peacock can suck it. Same with CBS all access or whatever their app is called. They have one good show in two decades and milk it.

I’ll catch my Office reruns for free using my antenna on Cozi TV (4-2).

I still watch Netflix the most. I watch a lot of British, Korean, and other international programs, which are excellent.


NP. The bold above is correct. Not sure why people get so peeved with Netflix for "losing" shows when the issue is other companies taking the shows away. Of course Netflix would probably have preferred, for instance, to keep the very popular "The Office" and "Parks and Rec" on Netflix. But both shows belong to NBC, which naturally pulled them back and put them on NBC's own new Peacock streaming. Netflix isn't booting stuff so much as seeing stuff get yanked.

OP, you can see "Parks and Rec" for free on Peacock. They're streaming all seasons on their "free with commercials" version. "The Office" -- you can see the first two seasons on Peacock for free with commercials, but later seasons and special features are accessible only on the paid version of Peacock. Just FYI. I have the free version of Peacock because I don't mind the commercials and don't want to pay for yet another streaming service. A tip: I don't know about the half-hour sitcoms, but in the hour-long programs (really 40 minutes), the commercials get fewer and shorter as the show progresses, I find.



This is true on Hulu, too, if you're binging something. Binge a show long enough and eventually you don't get any commercials at all.

West Wing is on HBO.

It's very easy to set up accounts with all of the streaming services, and then start and stop then as you need.

You also get the mid-range package on Peacock as a part of your Xfinity cable package. Most commercials are just like 30 seconds.

This has probably occurred to other people but I am a little slow sometimes:

You can just buy all episodes of the office for like 40 dollars. For about a year the office was the only thing we used Netflix for and I could have saved money had I just bought it outright.
