Shows you were wish that were streaming

Since the start of the pandemic last year, it's obvious we've been streaming some of our past and present shows on the various streaming networks i.e. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc., I wanted to know if you have any shows that are currently unavailable to watch online you wish that were? Perhaps you want to rewatch or want to watch a series for the first time because you didn't watch it when it first aired? 

 

Some of mine include 

Third Watch - Surprised Peacock doesn't have it on it's site. 

American Dreams - I figured because of those music rights being too expensive. 

Soul Food: The Series - Showtime needs an app for their previous shows to be viewed.

I would love to see Once and Again and Sisters streaming. Does NBC/Universal own Sisters? Because it would make sense if it would go to Peacock. 

 

I have some more shows I want to see streaming too. 

 

Thirtysomething 

For Your Love 

Beggars and Choosers (Some kind soul uploaded some episodes on YT a few months ago) 

Family Law

Soaps (Santa Barbara (I know it would never happen) Generations, Passions, Sunset Beach, Loving, Ryan's Hope)

Season two is missing around 5-6 episodes and they’re mostly intact through season five. After that most seasons are missing around 10 episodes. The final season is especially hit hard. The series finale isn’t even streaming! It’s odd because we know the music issue, but the show was re-scored for DVD and those are the versions streaming. They’ve never given a clear answer why so many episodes are missing.

    • 1999: I just watched it. It felt so primetime. La Lucci is making history. Aretha's daydreaming segment. @Contessa Donatella Thank you, my love. So helpful and informative as always. adding them to my queue.
    • I know this isn’t a usual or anywhere near universal take, but I loved the relatively brief Hal/Emily relationship/marriage more than I ever thought I would have with KMH/BH.
    • In my field (not that) I've written my share of dreck when it's what people wanted vs. something good. In the end what matters is the check. These pilots may not be great, but whether or not those writers intended otherwise they got paid.
    • I think there is plenty to critique and/or roast about the show, but I think there's also good bones and a lot of progressive improvement. It's the Bell/B&B formula and house style that is hardest for it to shake and the most necessary IMO, as well as some dead weight actors or characters, but that formula also apparently works for a lot of general viewers and I suspect CBS. OTOH it's also very modern in certain ways (sometimes overly hip dialogue, and some story) that still make it feel like a show that's bouncing between distant past staples of soap opera fundamentals and the present moment. And the old fashioned product placement is fun but also so goofy, while material like June is hysterical. Imagine leading with 'the underpass is where I live, and I like it there!' It's an unusual show in that way, because its identity and tone is still not fully formed. You don't know what it'll be. But that's normal at this juncture. The closest thing to a glimpse of the future foundation, I think (besides the obvious core family setup that's been there since Day 1), is the rivalry and future familial bond - and likely love/hate relationship - between Kat and Eva. A la many central sisters or siblings throughout soap history.
    • I loved Kelley Menighan! She was an MVP, especially during the show’s last few years. I always looked forward to anything she did with MM, BH, CZ, MW,  and the two grownup Alisons. Wasn’t a big fan of her with RH’s Paul. I always admired how she balanced being a vixen and being neurotic.
    • LLC can be a lot (lady definitely doesn’t phone it in), but her scenes with Rena made me wish they played actual sisters on a better platform.  Aside from JE, who is a legend so it’s no surprise when she’s excellent, Amanda Setton is my MVP of this story and she hasn’t always been great in this role. You see so much happening in her face as she’s navigating the shifts and layers of this story. She’s fully locked in. Glad Rory Gibson is getting his due on GH. I knew he had more to give than what Y&R was giving him. The writing will be a factor here as well because the character of Michael hasn’t been written well in ages (if ever, arguably). GH just can’t sustain the good stuff for more than a few weeks. Alexa Havins is a very good actress and was widely embraced as Lulu initially, but the character’s one-note abrasiveness has a lot of folks wishing she was gone at this point. 
    • It's pilots like "Hurricane Sam" and "Anything for Love" that makes me so afraid to write professionally, because, my God, what if I actually tried and came up with something just as awful, if not worse (if that's even possible)?
    • JANUARY 1974 SPECIALS ADDED... Here are the January 1974 specials which have been added to the yearly list on page 76:

    • Wow, you have the patience of a saint watching through this period. I think the show does get better but it takes a while.  I won't give any spoilers about Zachary, but I will drop a slight hint: GL was probably trying to get a ratings boost by doing a story inspired by one of CBS's few primetime hits in the mid-1990s. And no, Zachary does not turn out to be a Texas ranger.
