There’s a good chance you signed up for several streaming services to help get you through the pandemic. Now you’re wondering how long you can afford the extra expenses, especially after learning that Amazon Prime plans to raise its subscription rate.
It’s a good time to remind you that there are a fair number of streaming outlets that won’t cost you a cent. The choices have their downsides — ads, missing episodes, inferior picture quality — but you can’t beat the price.
Here are some suggestions that may have you rethinking your viewing options:
The best of David Letterman
The acclaimed late-night host of his generation has long resisted traveling down Memory Lane. So it’s a wonderful surprise to see that he’s signed off on freeing up tons of clips from both “Late Night” and “The Late Show.” In addition to highlights from interviews and sketches, you get fresh commentary from longtime staffers and Letterman. The collection, which ranges from Larry “Bud” Melman butchering a Christmas story to hitting fast-food joints with Zsa Zsa Gabor, is being augmented on a weekly basis. YouTube Channel
‘Password Plus’
Betty White, who died last month, is celebrated as one of the greatest comic actors to ever grace the small screen. But she also was a heck of a game-show guest. You can catch her at her best in this 1980s gem hosted by husband Allen Ludden. The series, which also welcomed celebrities like Mary Tyler Moore and Loretta Swit, includes some dated references like jokes about Fannie Flagg. But the game itself still holds up. IMDb TV
