Five TV Shows That Aren’t Streaming Anywhere (But Need To Be)

The latest series to join the reboot craze?  Murphy Brown!

The classic sitcom that netted lead Candice Bergen a ton of Emmy Awards is set to return to TV in the 2018-19 season with 13 new episodes.

Of course, this begs the question:  Will the original run be streaming soon?  It seems like more and more TV shows are streaming by the month, but there are still five holdouts we'd like to see in the very near future.

Not only is Murphy Brown not streaming, only the first season is available on DVD.  This seriously needs to change ASAP!

A spin-off from The Simpsons, The Critic was on the air for only three seasons but was a comedy gem that still really holds up today.  Fortunately, all 33 of its episodes are available on DVD.

One of the most underrated ensemble casts ever! And to paraphrase a line from a John Mulaney stand-up special, I miss Phil Hartman more than some of my own dead relatives.

Okay…we know The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air has been a syndication darling for years, but that still doesn’t explain why it isn’t streaming?  WHAT GIVES?!

We know, we know!  Seasons 1-5, 10 and 30 through to the present are available on Hulu, but there’s a ton missing, and due to licensing issues (or at least we assume) not every musical performance is available either.  Forgive us for wanting it all!
