Ask Alan: What broadcast shows would have been better on streaming — and vice versa?

Happy Monday, everyone! As promised in Friday's newsletter, you're getting two weeks in a row of the Ask Alan video mailbag, and this one is free for all paid subscribers, not just the folks on the What Else Is Alan Watching? bonus tier. I thought I would offer a taste of what you get on that tier, which also includes access to the What's Alan Watching? Discord, and at least one other bonus post per month. So if you like what you see, you can upgrade to the next tier. (Or, if you're a free subscriber who wants to sample the paid content, you can also upgrade.) As always, you can email me questions at alan@whatsalanwatching.com.

Ask Alan: What are the best one-season shows of all time?
Plus, what TV episode has the most impressive guest star lineup of future stars?
