Holy gee willikers how good is Tubi for stuff you've not seen in forever or wish you'd seen for forever!
Let me just give you an idea (hopefully this won't expire..)
https://tubitv.com/series/300009273/batman-and-robin
I've managed to go my entire life without ever seeing this! Until now.
Man, they have original Scooby Doo.. G.I. Joe.. America's Greatest Hero.. Gilligan's Island.. Land of the Lost.. Stuff I've not seen in forever.
I'm still finding stuff and am new to Tubi (which is not new) so it feels like I could make a lot better post about them if I used the site for awhile longer but I couldn't wait. I had to gush! Just go see for yourself, do a search or two, and see if you don't see something you've not seen in forever or want to see from forever ago. There's no signup/e-mail required. If the Batman and Robin link didn't take you there, this will: https://tubitv.com/
Tubi KIDS, which you can lock a kid into.., is restricted to all kids stuff and you know what, it's pretty darn good. I never thought that about a Kids section before so it seemed worth mentioning. I could and probably will spend weeks or more in Tubi "Kids" content.
Anyway, if even 1 person gets the warm fuzzies I've been getting the past couple of days, then this post was worthwhile! Based on the extremely low volume of ads on a lot of the stuff I've watched I'm guessing the majority of people are much less impressed with my choices. Another win for me! Good luck to you.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, to those that this is not old news, they seem to have a decent selection of newer stuff, too. At least as good as Pluto maybe? I mean, it's likely the selection will start to look old, soon, but for now it doesn't look so bad. I got to see Despicable Me 3 after Netflix only having 1 and 2 for forever *shrug* hehe. That Old Timey cartoon/comic book/sci-fi selection they have will always be good. They have some gems in there that I never see.
oops i meant to do a Modify!
So, after giving it some time and being stuck indoors due to weather...
Tubi is my current favorite place to watch stuff. So much stuff to watch that I haven't seen in forever. There's newer stuff, too, like the 2 Shazams, but mostly it's the old stuff that makes Tubi good for me.
The one flaw with Tubi would probably be picture quality. Sometimes they cheap out and show stuff lower res than the other guys. Some things are lower res because, I think, there's just no better copy to stream - yet. Like Black Brigade with Richard Pryor and Greatest American Hero, for example. Others, I know there is a better copy out there. Usually it's stuff that's old and probably no one watches - but there again, they have plenty of old and super old stuff that looks better than it did when it was new.
Their recommendations, whether by pure luck or not, have been the best I've had so far. I've yet to go to Tubi and scroll through Recommendations without finding something I actually want to watch right now, and, at least 1 thing to put away into saved stuff for later.
When the thing I'm watching is over they also tend to rollover into something I don't mind watching/playing for background noise.
Again, the main thing for Tubi seems to be old fantasy stuff. Fantasy, being - sci-fi, comic book stuff, cartoons, tales from the beyond, sword and sorcery, and in general - stuff that kids watch(ed).
Similarly, I was delighted to see the Dungeons and Dragons channel that debuted last year had episodes of the animated series streaming.
Did the channel fail or something? Google showed me references to it but I gave up trying to find it. I didn't see the cartoon on Tubi, either.
Did find the cartoon on YouTube, though. Think that's all episodes:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLW8q9E0mB4_GgHu9cj7w6lItvJJUDo3dl
It was available on Freevee, but Amazon has made it hard to find most of the live channels from Freevee that it folded into Prime video.
The channel is still available on Plex: https://watch.plex.tv/live-tv/channel/dungeons-and-dragons-adventures
But that playlist you linked should also cover all of the episodes.
Okidoki, was trying to follow. Yes, that's a good example of exactly what I've been talking about. I didn't even remember seeing that cartoon before until I watched the first few seconds or so of episode 1.
When I was watching, I was like, "wow, I was kinda old to be watching this when it was new" and then I realized my current age and the fact that I was on like episode 5 already.
You know, I played nearly every PC d&d type game when that cartoon was new and played tabletop on the weekends - but it was Cryptic's Tiamat Trial, years and years later, that taught me the name Tiamat! It was kinda funny to watch episode 1 and have a kind of Easter egg when Tiamat showed up.
Anyway, yes! Perfect example. That's exactly what I'm talking about. There is a lot of stuff like that on Tubi. Stuff I don't even remember watching, or never got to watch, like the original Dick Tracy (it's not that bad!).
As soon as I got done watching some of those D&D cartoons I went back to Tubi and queued up some Defenders of the Earth, from right around the same year as D&D the TV Animated Series, to keep the era theme going.

In the category of 'never got to watch' I humbly submit from today's Recommendations:

Gtfo! They made a sequel?? Almost? Wow, only took me 40 years to find out. Looking forward to seeing that tonight.
