It would be nice to see all of Oscar Peterson’s CBC TV shows from the 1970s. I videotaped a few from USA in the 1980s, but the repeat broadcast at 11 pm ET inevitably inserted a show promo voiceover on top of the final song. I didn’t give a damn about watching Beau Bridges in “United States,” coming up next. Quote
T.D. Posted June 11 Report Posted June 11 Next Monday I'm going to see the Bill Evans documentary Time Remembered in a (newfangled with hi-tech sound system) cinema. Quote

jazzbo Posted June 12 Report Posted June 12 I'm still thinking about "Dune: Prophecy" after watching the last of the special features this morning. That was a great show. Tried watching "Andor" because so many seem to sing its praises. Two episodes and I'm out, not for me. I'll probably soon rewatch the second half Of "Severance" season One before starting Two. Quote

Was going to watch episode 8 of the latest season of Call the Midwife (there are three episodes left) and found out that, nope, they've sold this season to Nutzflicks. After searching around in disbelief, I couldn't find it anywhere, so, being pissed off after a exhausting day of fighting technology, I shut the damn thing off reminding myself of how crappy the whole damn capitalist system has become. So...you pay for one month of Netflix, watch those few episodes, and then cancel right away. That's how you do that. Quote
JSngry Posted June 20 Report Posted June 20 Quatuor Ébène playing three Beethoven quartets on something called Stingray Classica, which I stumbled across on Pluto. A very pleasant surprise! Quote
JSngry Posted June 21 Report Posted June 21 I use Pluto to watch some old sitcoms and game shows (currently The Drew Carey Show and 25 Words or Less) and TV Westerns (currently on Season 16 of Gunsmoke and almost finished with Wanted Dead Or Alive, Somehow this Classica thing got a push recommen,dation, so hey. I used to think that The Roku Channel & Pluto were more or less the same. There's certainly overlap, but enough of a difference to matter. And then there's Tubi, which has buttloads of early TV (like, EARLY) and other uber-niche type stuff. Like, I just finished all 4 seasons of the two-network, 2.5 premise Joey Bishop 1960s sitcom, which is nowhere near as shitty as today's online consensus will have it. It's a warts and all time capsule. All of this shit has commercials, but hell, this notion of commercial-free TV runs contrary to my upbringing! Quote
JSngry Posted June 21 Report Posted June 21 I just wait for shit to show back up somewhere. It usually does, eventually. Tubi has some old Loretta Young shows that are...epic. I thought I knew what to expect, but boy was I underprepared. Apparently Slow TV (4 seasons) is now on Fubo, which is partially owned by Paramount. I don't do Fubo, that's for cord- cutters, so it's not free. Plus for me, there would be a lot of redundancy. But it's not gone. Quote
