Sports are pretty much the only thing I will watch live anymore. Why are they not starting with TOS?, maybe they are considering that show a little too problematic for the modern audience.

Pluto is the streaming substitute for free basic broadcast TV. So I have no idea why you are suddenly freaking out that one tiny streaming site I doubt most people has even heard of (I didnt until 6 months ago) doesnt have this one show on yet when for America TOS and EVERY Trek show can be found in multiple places now with ease? Maybe youre just looking to re-watch some of the classics or experience them for the first time. Maybe not at the level 30 years ago but clearly a big seller. Theres Ch.
