Naja, I'm not one to watch "classic" TV. Once I watch a movie or TV show, that's it. I'm done. I don't watch it again (w/exception of Godfather which I never get tired of watching).
Another thing I hate about Peacock is after you finish watching something it throws something else at you and that show gets stuck in your "continued watching" list which I have complained about incessantly to Peacock. All the other networks have a feature that you can remove from "Continued Watching" either on TV or online. To remove from "continued watching" on Peacock, you have to wait until the last show airs for the season and then play it and FF to the end. It's ridiculous.

What's the big deal when you can get it free? Like I said, I get it free with xFinity, you get it free with your Walmart+ account. I came here to say how you can get it free.

How much is Pecock? I like old movies and I have Dish. There is no classic movies unless I don’t have the right plan. One could spend $200 plus a month on TV in order to watch everything that interests them.

Lakecat, I found this answer on reddit. If you are really interested in getting it, you might be better off waiting til November. Peacock and a lot of other streaming channels offer really great deals for new subscribers. Though, I don't think the deals include the ad free tiers.
Try checking out "Howdy" it's $2.99 a month and ad free. It's basically the roku channel without the ads.
From reddit:
Adventurous-Value-82
2mo ago
NBCUniversal execs have believed Peacock is underpriced relative to the streamer’s rivals — and, to that point, the company is raising rates for the third time in three years.
Starting July 23, the price for Peacock Premium (which includes ads) will increase by $3 to $10.99/month and Premium Plus (which has limited ads in live programming) by $3 to $16.99 per month. Peacock’s annual price will be $109.99/year for Premium and $169.99/year for Premium Plus.
The new pricing now makes Peacock more expensive than the ad-supported and ad-free tiers at Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max and Paramount+. The higher prices will be effective July 23 for new and returning customers, and on or Aug. 22 for current customers (depending on their next billing date).
Last price increase was July 2024 (1 year ago)
In addition to the higher pricing on those two packages, the company is beginning to test a new Peacock “Select” tier, which will feature NBC and Bravo current seasons and an assortment of library titles, which will be priced at $7.99/month and $79.99/year.”
Most likely NBA is the reason for the price increase but I’m not sure if Amazon Prime Video would also have a price increase due to NBA. In terms of if Peacock consider underpriced comparing to the other streaming services platform as stated by their exces, I’ll let the comments to determine.

If it’s blocked in your area, Kimmel Live has the monologue already up on their Facebook page and their You Tube channel. It’s quite good.
