As one who had “cut the cable” over decade ago, I do not miss “modern TV”.
Most shows I will watch/own on DVD.
Be it Star Trek, ST:TNG, MASH, Babylon 5, Space 1999, Dukes of Hazzard, Get Smart, Sgt.Bilko, LEXX, Red Drawf, Orville, Flintstones, Simpsons, Andromeda, Farscape, Gilligan’s Island, just to name a few.
Then there are the movies.
And yes, everyone needs to buy physical media, as then you OWN that copy, to watch when, where and how often I want without censorship.
On-line is a temporary license with edits and censorship.
I strongly dislike the pay-to-view model. I will wait till I can buy it physically.
Pre-covid, the only shows I would watch (as I could on-line without pay-per-view) was The Blacklist, The Orville.
I have not watch The Blacklist, as their release schedule was so horrible, and I missed so many episodes, I gave up on the show.
The Orville, moving to a new network I can’t watch, does not help either.
There has been several shows I would have liked to watch/buy physical copies of, but they are not offered.
Avenue 5 – streaming only.
The Tick – amazon streaming only.
etc.
