Episodes from all the classic Trek series can be found on that channel. SYFY has all but abandoned science fiction for the more whimsical realm of fantasy and the overplayed hand of comic book adaptations. I think TOS is still given PLENTY of love given everything . That was never a thing until the last ten years or so. Now Strange New Worlds is. OK, I gotcha! If you werent around when it originally aired then you probably remember watching it in syndication before TNG started. (Although my DVR has never been more than 20% filled). Well, thats where Pluto TV comes in. And why today there are now six new shows in production. I was only responding to this sentence: Heres hoping that somebody at the studio still remembers that.

TAS in primary grades (DVDs)
Today ViacomCBS announced 40 CBS-produced shows will be added to Pluto TV, the popular ad-supported streaming service Viacom purchased in 2019. I dont know why they wouldnt have TOS since in literally every distribution package where all the shows are sold its always there like the rest of them. Sports are pretty much the only thing I will watch live anymore. A spokesperson for Pluto TV tells TrekMovie that TNG is the first series for a new Star Trek channel being added to the live streaming service, with more Star Trek series being added later. At least the top episodes. Yes, thats right the channel thats all about Trek. At least I can watch every Star Wars movie only on Disney+. Voyager on repeat from 4th to 6th grade, with TNG filling in. It launched in the UK in October 2018, with other countries like Germany, Austria, and Switzerland also introducing the service shortly thereafter. I was going to adress the remastering of DS9 and VOY but Ian was faster. Thats an interesting observation. We will drop new episodes from season four at 9pm on the Pluto TV sci-fi channel each Friday, Saturday and Sunday, starting with the first two episodes this Friday, November 26. They need Star Trek to be profitable. Streaming has got me to try several series that I would have otherwise missed, and some that I did miss in first run.

I was 10 in 1968, so there werent any choices, and we didnt even have to call it TOS because there was only ONE Star Trek. These shows are pretty accessible everywhere these days. Others maybe just Voyager. TNG on CBS-AA is commercial free; on Pluto there will likely be commercials. But what a lot of people forget here is that for most people under 30, they were born into a large universe of Star Trek from the beginning so they dont look at it so linearly just like younger Star Wars fans dont who grew up on the prequels. And when you did, it usually was just TOS or TNG. Yeah true, depending where you live the situation will be very different. 
So where do you go if you want something science-fictiony or even just science factual? No, I am your..bad commercial and/or floating plastic elves Pluto TV will be right back father. Its still all over BBC America and every streamer and the other day I came across the H&I free channel with its weekday evening block of TOS-Enterprise running from 7 PM to 1 AM. Perhaps its on both. But Star Trek has been a much bigger universe for a long time now and why we had 18 years of mostly successful spin offs from TNG to ENT. In Austria, Germany and Switzerland, the program also released as a simulcast on Pluto's Star Trek channel. Sounds like you were 10-12 at a good time! And if Plutos other content is any indication, those commercial breaks will not fall where commercial breaks are put into the programs, but during the scenes themselves. That was Korea. Thats the problem with a site like All Access because very few new fans will sign up just to watch Star Trek on it.
In May CBS All Access added 100 films from the Paramount library and it was just announced that the upcoming SpongeBob movie Sponge on the Run will skip theaters to launch on All Access in 2021. One of those shows will be Star Trek: The Next Generation. Discovery was a prequel to the show. Your favorite teams, topics, and players all on your favorite mobile devices. I mean ask any person about Kirk or Spock and they will have some idea but not so much for Picard. And when I get a disc in the mail from Netflix I feel compelled to look at it as quickly as possible so I can get it in the mail the next day and get the next disc as quick as I can to maximize the value of the monthly fee. I find that an interesting aspect of human nature. Its why we have shows like Section 31 and Lower Decks coming. TOS was syndicated the most easily but it still wasnt always shown everywhere either. As I just said it could be next. I had not seen any Hartnell, Troughton, or Pertwee episodes before I started watching it, plus the Baker, Davison, Colin Baker, and McCoy episodes I had not seen in a long time, or ever. I once lived in a country where GASP no Star Trek ever came on TV lol. You can binge watch 728 episodes for $10 these days anywhere. And I imagine if you are in your 20s TOS would feel the most antiquated at least. Yet, thats too easy to put on the actual list. That must be why I cant make up my mind which I like more! Defeats the purpose of CBS All Access since thats not the exclusive home of Star Trek.

Crave only has the new Doctor Who, how is your in-laws watching old episodes on Crave? Pretty cool (except for maybe some of the later ones). I thought it was on BBCA. No one has forgotten about TOS, its just no longer the driving force of the franchise anymore in terms of it being the main priority and hasnt been for a long time. Kurtzman gets credit from me for reminding CBS executives of this, and pitching the franchise as a resource that needed new investment to keep it earning with future generations. So now I have to choose whether to watch Doctor Who 24/7 or TNG 24/7. In July 2020, Pluto TV launched a full-time Star Trek-themed channel. Why would they not remember that? I was going to point this out as well before I saw your comment. ;).
Wow! The only thing I will comment on here is that I tried to record sports but it just doesnt work for me. But the attitude with Trek has always seemed to be: sell it to everyone everywhere all the time. Maybe I just thought the same way with the systems you guys have over there. I have found that if I have something available at nearly any time to watch I often end up not watching it. No one would pay for service that terrible. That was my point. It seems moronic not to just fold this channel into CBS All Access? With over 100,000 hours of unique content in the US alone, now supplemented by these iconic ViacomCBS franchises, Pluto TV is one of the broadest and deepest streaming services in the world, and guaranteed to offer something for everyone, on any device, for free.. Thats what Netflix is for. Star Trek is CBS most important franchise at this point. But yes its also one of the newer shows (and the Borg are in 100 episodes ;)) so I guess not too surprising. Pluto TV is available to watch via NowTV and Roku devices in the UK, as well as on: The app is free to download onto your smart devices from the Apple App Store, Amazon App store and the Google Play store. Perhaps a reason for CBS to invest in remastering DS9 and Voyager, making them exclusive to Blu Ray and All Access. Yes I know HERE TOS is more popular overall, Im speaking for the general audience out there.
