You don’t need to pay much—if at all—to watch classic TV. It’s the rare genre that’s found in greater quantity and quality in free services than in expensive ones. Roku TV, Tubi, and Pluto TV should be your go-to services if you want to dive deep into old dramas, mysteries, and sitcoms.

For the former, we took a look at whether they carry classic TV channels like TCM, MeTV, and Grit, while for the latter, we studied how deep their catalog goes. To no one’s surprise, the Warner Bros-owned Max and Paramount-owned Paramount+ made the cut.
