would you guys pay monthly fee for classic tv streaming with no commercials?

If they were unedited and remastered (and converted to HD in the case of filmed shows) and included every episode of the featured series, then yes.

No cause I own pretty much all of the shows on DVD that I’m interested in.

I already do! Amazon Prime has a growing library of classics. CBS All Access and Hulu have a pretty good selection of classics. And there's now Roku channels dedicated to single shows, but they have a few commercials. I doubt that these will last, but I'm watching some of them while I can. Netflix has almost no classic shows left besides TAGS, DVD, and Star Trek.

No, because I've been watching them OTA with commercials for so long that I'm used to it, and I have more OTA retro stations right now than I can shake a stick at. My sister, on the other hand, would probably sign up in a heartbeat. She does nothing but watch old shows on her tablet.

Starz also has Sanford and Son, The Jeffersons, Mad About You and a few others.

I wouldn't sign up for Starz just for it's classic tv shows unless it had a much wider variety there.

After buying classic shows on DVD since 2004. I have everything I want to watch.

No not for a streaming service.I do not like watching TV on a computer.However if they introduced a commercial free classic TV channel with a good variety of shows I would be interested in that.And that type channel should have been started a long time ago.

It's been removed just recently then because I was watching it on Netflix in December.

I have no use for streaming Classic TV shows online. I'm old school. I prefer to own a hard copy (a dvd or blu-ray) of a TV show.
