Which medium is best for watching LITB - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

MichaelMartinD · 01-09-2024, 06:58 PM

A bunch of related questions are on my mind. Where is everybody currently enjoying LITB: through a streaming service, DVDs, or TV? Which do you think is best? Which streaming services offer LITB and are best for classic shows in general? Do you think it is worth it to get a Bluray player so as to watch the new LITB Blurays?

Sorry for all the questions, but I've been thinking about the future of how I will enjoy LITB and other classics.

Everyone has their choice of what they prefer the most, but for me I like having DVD's. I usually don't like to do the streaming stuff and I have no plans to invest in blu-ray, so it's mainly DVD's for me.

For streaming purposes, the Tubi website seems to be pretty good, it's free and they offer a variety of shows, don't know if they have LITB though.

^LITB used to be available on Tubi, but no longer.

I watch it on DVD.

I watch Leave it to Beaver on the Roku Channel. My DVD buying days are probably over and I have no interest in blu-ray.

If you have the DVD set I think it's unnecessary to buy a Blu-Ry player and get the Blu-Ray set.

I most often watch LITB on MeTV in the morning, but have seen all the unedited episodes on the Shout! DVDs.

My days of over the air/cable edited commercial stacked classic TV viewing is mostly over. I've migrated off of DVDs too and the certain broken DVD player to now mostly streaming.

Most preferred to least viewing options.

Buy complete series streaming dirt cheap on sale.
Commercial free on streaming service I have.
Streaming service with ads that doesn't overload commercials (watching Dark Shadows on freevee is great).
Dailymotion - watched S2-3 MRFD. Better than nothing.
Pluto tv - absolutely the worst ad streaming service stacking commercials. Only use if only option. Judge Judy commercials ridiculous. Honeymooners ok which is a rarity on Pluto TV.)
Over the air tv/cable - horse and buggy... nope.
Dvds- was ok in it's day. Now better options.

Where did you buy it from?

I still have my DVDs but if I can stream without commercials then I would be interested in looking into that.
