Amazon Prime commercials? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Is there any way to watch Unsolved Mysteries on Prime without commercials? I used to be able to watch them directly through Amazon. Now it goes through IMDB on Amazon with commercials. I am well aware this is a first-world problem. I just prefer to watch it without commercials as it used to be on Prime.

I don't think you can unfortunately. Best thing to do is watch them on YT on Chrome with adblock on.

I actually signed up for "Peacock" and one of the main reasons was to watch UM without commercials. It ends up being around $10/month, but to me it's worth it to not watch those commercials, plus they have some other decent content as well.

Sometimes the commercials are out of whack, but more often than not they line up with the actual commercial breaks in the episode. I don't mind them...it kind of gives me the feel like I am watching them on tv like back in the day.

I made a thread about this a while ago when it first happened. I was PISSED at Amazon Prime. IMDBTv version sucks because it goes to a commercial at the most random times. Very hard to enjoy.

I was hoping Netflix got the rights to original UM (since they had the reboot) but it seems Peacock bought it. I guess the UM reboot wasn't the big hit they thought it was going to be so Netflix passed on the rights to the original.

I don't know who is paying $10 for Peacock because Peacock is free and UM is on there. I have Xfinity and I just pay an extra $5 to have it without commercials. Totally worth it.

Thank goodness I ripped the entire series from AMZN when it was commercial free (not promoting this just being honest). I have it all on an external drive I plug into my TV as a backup. Yes I am that obsessed with UM lol. I goto bed to UM playing each night.
