You Can Stream All Your Favourite "Throwback" Shows For FREE On CTV's Website
Like cable but online!
Netflix can often feel like the be-all, end-all of online streaming, especially if you're actually paying for it. Why looks elsewhere when Netflix is right there and paid for, right?
But if you're feeling bored with Netflix's current selection, there are options out there. And one of those options I found recently is not only Canadian, it's totally FREE.
Yes, folks, you can find a bunch of awesome "Throwback" shows on CTV's website, and if you want to watch them all you have to do is hit play. Seriously.
You don't need to sign up for anything before accessing hundreds of episodes from amazing shows like Community and Orphan Black.
Plus they have some REAL throwbacks, like Married with Children and the original Charlie's Angels.
