Something like HLOTS is premium enough to me that it is worth buying and owning the discs. I have watched some of the vintage shows on things like Me TV, but one thing streaming in particular has done to me is left me almost unable to tolerate commercials. I have been putting up with them, barely, to watch Rockford episodes in order and on my demand on the horrible Peacock platform (even the premium version has many unskipable commercials each hour). But I’m not sitting through commercials to nostalgia watch Barnaby Jones (who am I kidding? Lee Meriwether).
