It's been way too long since the last post, since I have only seen a couple of the specials in the last couple of years. I have weaned off daytime due to work, as in the last few years, I had to check the results to see if I would want to watch it. At least 60% of the time, there was no need, as I took it off if the episode has a DOB, skunked episodes, or just rather blah episodes.
I finally have another use for Pluto TV, other than MST3K and Fail Army. I will check this channel from time to time, as this is a good idea. Kind of like a catch-up of sorts for me, especially between 1982 and 1993, when I had most days in school (except for holidays, school breaks, and the rare sick day). I probably will wane a bit after the 1993 shows, as between taping while having classes in college and being able to watch as scheduled on off days.
Just looking at the episode I am looking now (the one where Bob announced his Emmy), it looks much calmer and civilized back in 1982. More like the fine wine and filet mignon era, unlike now that it is the pizza and beer era. Just get called, run or walk to your spot, and stop...not scream and hop around like you had sugar and Red Bull together, and make a spectacle of yourself. We can also see the transformation from casual and occasional sport jackets, to the make-your-own t-shirts in later years. It is also going to be fun seeing the more antiquated prizes that were won at the time compared to now, and a lot of the prize cues. Nice to see the contestant not appearing on stage prize set is included.
The picture and sound does look good on both Roku and the app on my tablet. And, I do hope they as many of the earlier episodes as they can (that can be shown).
