The at-will availability today contrasts wildly with one lean period I remember. I was obsessed with Star Trek, but the VCR was a thing of the future for me, and for some reason no local station was running the show at all.
The only way to see it: a distant Canadian station was airing it once a week on Saturday morning. Scarcity made the show all the more important. Missing it was a big deal.
Now there's no such thing as "missing the show." You don't wait for it, it waits for you. Whole different feeling.
I agree 100%! I remember those days also. Im retired now, i watch ALL the old shows now. Been on a Hunter beinge.
In capitalist America, show waits for you. What a country!

I recall a time in the latter 70s when it was considered a major event for a local affiliate (WCTV serving south Georgia and north Florida) to air 3, maybe 4 episodes back to back starting around midnight on a Friday or Saturday. I never had the stamina to stay awake to catch any of those random marathons, but I thought it was fantastic a station would do that. Nowadays, most of us would react, "Meh, whatever..."
Exactly! Kids today have everything at there finger tips! Wish we would have that growing up!
Pluto has all the trek series and movies each with a dedicated channel. Was just watching TOS channel. Paramount + has them also but only with a subscription.
Thing I've noticed with Pluto, is that it will stop after a while. ROKU will play until the apocalypse.
