It sounds like the amazing Homicide: Life on the Street is on the verge of losing its title as The Best TV Show That You Can't Stream:

‘Homicide: Life on the Street’ Is About to Find New Life on the Streamerswww.rollingstone.com The iconic Nineties crime procedural, based on a book by David Simon, has been stuck in limbo over music rights, but Simon says a deal is imminent.

The story discusses this, as well as how several other candidates like Moonlighting recently made it to streaming. Right now, I'd probably say China Beach.

What will replace it? I feel like all the big unstreamable shows have been getting released recently.

You mentioned Ed in there and every once in a while I think about how I wish it was streaming because I think it would make a nice chill/background/comfort viewing kinda show to put on when needed.

I kind of suspect there's a lot about Ed that will prove to hold up very poorly, but I'd still like the opportunity to find out.

Using “Reflections” as the theme was an inspired choice. Sets the scene perfectly.

Muppet Babies is an underrated contender

The MTV show Undressed is my husband's white whale.

Frank's Place.

When the ordinaries complain about shows disappearing (because this is a thing that JUST started happening) it’s everything I can do not to scream about China Beach

Can’t stream Cavemen anywhere so that’s my number one.

I would like the offensive series "Work It" to stream, mostly for the unaired (in the US) episode with David Freese.

I picked up the first season of Miami Vice on DVD at a thrift shop last week and I can’t believe how much classic 80s music is on that show. It’s not available for streaming (in Canada annyway) and I would have assumed the music played a part in that.

Night Music! I’d watch all of them

I still miss Ed

SCTV

There is a ton of SNL that's missing too. Not the least of which is the Synchronized Swimmers which I always think of during the Olympics

SCTV not being available is criminal

Until Tubi (briefly) picked up the baton, that title belonged to Babylon 5, created by the phenomenal @straczynski.bsky.social. Now we need to get David Simon himself away from the hellsite and over here.

welcome back, Luther Mahoney and Junior Bunk.

What will replace it? The Paper Chase? Remember WENN? Molly Dodd?

Remember WENN is available! I mean technically. It's on AMC+, and that's the only reason I know AMC+ exists.

It is? Oh, that is fine news! For a long time it was lost because the original paperwork didn't really anticipate a longer life for the show, IIRC.

Ready for the world to fall in love with Beau Felton.

If I didn't already own the whole series on DVD, I'd be jumping for joy 😍

Great gosh I loved that show. I’m soooo here for it.

WKRP needs to be next

Saw Simon announce! Excited!

I'm surprised not one person here said Cold Case. That's been sought after for a while.

YES

What will replace it? I feel like all the big unstreamable shows have been getting released recently.

If The John Larroquette Show ever dropped you'd see miles of online reactions. When I tell people about "Here We Go Again" they look at me like I grew up in an alternate realm where TV was amazing. (I did. It was called 'The 90s'). For drama, I'm tossing in votes for Nothing Sacred and Christy.

There should just be a channel that streams all the shows where the character John Munch appeared in.

That cast was so amazing

Figures that it's over the music - that show was a groundbreaker in its use.

Looking forward to it! Now let's get Beggars & Choosers streaming.

I would be DELIGHTED to have this available. In the UK, I could only catch odd episodes at strange times, so I'm sure there are loads of episodes I've never seen.
