4. It depends on what you mean by "reruns" ...

... for the current shows (ie: past seasons of current shows) it varies. Sometimes you can get ALL previous seasons, sometimes only the one or two most recent.

Here's a list of shows: https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/

Peacock is owned by NBC-Universal... so they have a lot of old series that are owned by Universal (even though they may have originally aired on a different network).

Peacock is 100% free, and you have to put up with commercials. But it's not so bad. The ads are not SCREAMING at you or insulting your intelligence. --- Also, we've noticed that when watching older shows (ie: Rockford Files) they manage to put the commercials in the SAME places/pauses where the original commercials were inserted. There are some streaming channels that simply insert a commercial ever 6 minutes... even in the middle of a scene... with no regard for the original "breaks".

For Paramount+ and Hulu, we're "commercial-free" subscribers. It's worthwhile to us (for others, it may not be) but since we're about to officially cut the cord (and save over $120 by getting rid of Fios-TV and keeping only Fios-Internet) it's a worthwhile fee.
