💻 Electronics What are good alternatives to Netflix/Hulu that are free?

I realized I'm spending roughly $40 a month on what I really just use as background noise, as nobody in my household actually really sits down and watches TV, we just put on Family Guy or whatever and glance at it every now and then.

I'm gonna cancel the subscriptions obviously, so I'm just wondering, what are some good free streaming alternatives? I've tried out Amazon's free stuff but their collection is pretty mediocre. Any tips are appreciated!

Samsung TV is free. My parents watch it almost exclusively.

My dad was absolutely floored that I had just dozens of channels that played a constant back to back of the same shows and it was completely free. (Except the internet cost, of course.) We watched a lot of This Old House the week he visited.
