the closest thing i'll ever come to replicating my childhood experiences with cable tv. i'm on my family's plan, and if you can you should get a family plan with a couple of friends. i love channel surfing and putting on an episode of x-files or curb your enthusiasm midway through.

Yes! I’m on a plan with my family too. Love just picking up in the middle of something, and the idea of other people watching at the same time. enjoy a little commercial break too!

(I mean I know it still exists but) there was something kinda fun about running into an FX movie marathon or a 90s cartoon rerun in the middle of the day on the weekend at, like, your grandma’s house and just locking in with your sibs. I know a lot of it was slop TV but streaming is as bad if not worse now and there’s TOO much choice. Maybe it’s silly to romanticize but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've never been into Netflix binges and I've finally found the way I like to watch tv. This combines the whimsy of flipping through channels with the excitement of finding weird old shit on YouTube. There's a billion wacky ass channels—a channel that plays the dick van dyke show 24/7, multiple channels that play old rom coms from the 50s-70s, an antiques roadshow channel. And of course shoutout "grit xtra" for only playing western tv shows from the 40s. also it is FREE on your Roku ??

I’m over wasting time figuring out what to watch when I should be spending time chillen. Pluto is basically cable tv in a browser / app. It doesn’t completely fulfill the cable tv promise, especially because it’s under the Viacom family but it gets the job done. Now instead of combing through streaming services, I channel surf a bit until I land on something and then I just vibe. I usually end up on the CSI, Yu-Gi-Oh or Beverly Hills 90210 dedicated channels but it’s also fun to see what movies are on. The downside is it has the streaming age version of commercials where you watch the same ones over and over and over but beggars can’t be choosers I suppose
