Also, seeing random commercial breaks right in the middle of full-length movies is definitely odd. Crackle has full-length movies, as well, such as Ali, Joe Dirt, and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.Ĭons: The interface isn’t much to look at, and the selection is very scattershot. Also, Crackle has a few originals of its own, including Jerry Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, as well as Snatch and Startup. Pros: You’ll find quite a lot of content on Crackle, and while not everything is top-tier, there are some classic shows in the mix-things like Seinfeld, The Shield, NewsRadio, and All in the Family. Sony’s service has a wide selection of offerings, including classic TV series from various networks and also an array of full-length movies. Without the pricier subscription, you can expect about two minutes of commercials during each ad break for the free shows available here.Ĭrackle is a unique beast, in that it’s not based on a single network-but unlike a Netflix, it’s totally free and ad-supported. It’s $6/month with commercials or $10 without. Meanwhile, the CBS Evening News had all 18 of its recent episodes available for free.Ĭons: All Access can be a confusing roadblock, especially since some TV shows (like The Good Fight, the new The Good Wife spinoff) and movies require a subscription but aren’t always clearly marked. Older shows are less consistent with their free offerings: some have a couple episodes, while others have many more. With newer shows, you’ll typically find five recent episodes available without a login, and unlike ABC, the CBS app doesn’t lock the newest of each. Pros: The CBS app is loaded with content new and old alike, whether you’re looking for current hits like The Big Bang Theory, Elementary, or NCIS, or older favorites like The Brady Bunch and multiple Star Trek series.
That can be confusing, but there’s still a lot of free TV to watch here. CBS has seemingly larger digital ambitions than ABC in this space, as its one app not only serves as a repository for free content and even more with a login, but also a hub for its paid All Access subscription service.
