Yeah, there are several on that list I’d watch on TV. Not watching on prime.

Not criticizing your preferences, but . . . I don't get this. How does watching a show on Amazon Prime differ from watching a show on, what, broadcast TV?

No commercials. Most of these shows are exclusive to Amazon Prime. You're already paying for Prime, these shows are just hiding in your television, waiting for you to watch . . .

Is it a lack of a "smart" TV or streaming device connected to your TV? You can get a Roku or Chromecast for about $20. With free shipping through Amazon Prime!

Not interested in hooking up MORE devices to the TV, thanks.

Smart TV needs nothing connected.

They're not that smart though and it depends on how old they are.

Our ones getting on in years probs bought 2013 or so (I forget).

Even when it was new though it was just easier to use the consoles.

Dump the cable box, net even things on the tv.

Nope. And we detached our Wii a few years ago. We’ve thought about setting it up in the guest room, but so far, nope.

Yeah maybe in Kiwi land. My smart operates everything. Nothing but a power cord required.
