Who has the remote?

Written by

Some might (and have) called my TV watching habits odd. I do not have cable, just rabbit ears and streaming. My favorite shows to watch are shows (especially sitcoms) from the 80s and 90s I watched growing up. I will stream those quite a bit with SOME live TV thrown in.

However, my two favorites to stream 24 hours via Pluto TV:

1. Bob Barker era episodes of "The Price is Right"

2. Robert Stack era episodes of "Unsolved Mysteries"

Now, I have loved TPIR since I was young and staying home sick from school like the rest of us. My love for the show grew in high school and college...then Bob retired while I was in college. I like Drew Carey, but it's just not the same for me. I was so happy to learn I could stream episodes from the Bob Barker era! Now, these are shows from the early 1980s when Johnny Olson, Dian Parkinson, Holly Hallstrom (my favorite model), and Janice Pennington were still on the show. Cars cost roughly $6,500-$8,000! It's so fun to watch these old episodes of one of my favorite game shows.

Next is Robert Stack on "Unsolved Mysteries". When I was about 6 or 7 years old, the theme song for this show SCARED ME TO DEATH!!! Again, Robert Stack IS the host of this show. It's just not the same without him. He had the voice, the presence, and the right attitude for the show. It's so interesting to look back at these old cases and see what has been solved by now (they still have a website to send in tips), and think about what may have happend with those that are still unsolved.
