I’m enjoying regular peacock, its got a lot of good TV shows and the commercial load really isn’t bad. Its maybe one minute every ten minutes, which for a free channel is pretty good.

So whats the difference between peacock and peacock premium? The only thing I can find it that it has ‘more’ movies and shows. But I don’t know how many more, or if its worth it to get premium.

Yes. No commercials, no editing and lots of EPL games if you like sports.

I thought peacock premium which is $5/month came with ads but the Peacock premium plus which is $10/month didn’t have any ads.

On the website it just says this about peacock premium vs peacock free

“Unlock everything Peacock has to offer — every movie, every episode, every season, all of our live sports and more.”

But it doesn’t really tell me what movies and shows you get extra with premium.

Another difference that’s important if you want to watch The Office: “NBCU is making the first two seasons of “The Office” available for free with ads on Peacock (which currently is available only in the U.S.). Seasons 3-9, as well as the “Superfan Episodes,” will be available to subscribers on Peacock Premium, which is available for $4.99/month with ads, and Peacock Premium Plus $9.99/month without ads.” (From [Variety](https://variety.com/2020/digital/news/the-office-peacock-streaming-free-1234853111/))

The Gilbert Gottfried Doc Gilbert on premium was brilliant. He seems like such a sweet family man offstage and such a foulmouthed lunatic onstage. It was kinda shocking the access Gilbert gave to the filmmaker after decades of being a recluse. We also get to hear the real Gilbert voice.
