They should not be allowed to stream these shows without the music. It would be like the OC with AI songs.

SCTV is, IMO, the greatest of streaming whales. Hell, it's basically the holy grail for *ANY* kind of home media release.

I hated that show but all these comments make me want to revisit it to see if I was wrong. I just remember a saccharine Hallmark version of Northern Exposure.

It was a very *clever* show... The dialogue had a musicality and joke density to it that was really unusual for the time - though much less so now with the rise and eventual oversaturation of the Whedonesque Marvel style.

And the cast was a murderers row of winning character actors, from Cavanagh at the top down through the likes of Michael Ian Black and Justin Long in support. They made many of the saccharine character beats sing.

And, unfortunately for its long term viability in the streaming era, the music direction was fucking ON POINT.

It's funny because I did like Gilmore Girls but can completely understand people bouncing off that. The premise didn't help but I don't think it was what bothered me. And I did watch all of Love Monkey so I don't think it was the lead.

It's biggest sin is that all the romantic/relationship stuff (which is quite a non-trivial portion of the show!) is overwritten wish-fulfilment fantasy. Its credulous treatment of The Grand Romantic Gesture could feel a bit cringe at the time, but in hindsight it's fucking toxic.

There a lot I’d like, but I recognize are too obscure or unpopular to stream. But Empty Nest has no rights issues that I know of and has a literal Golden Girl in it. It’s a bit inexplicable.

Ed, I think has likely aged better than Thirtysomething or Murphy Brown. China Beach CAN be watched with the original soundtrack (albeit with dodgy video quality). Ed is pretty much impossible to find. While not a perfect show, it would be great to visit that place again.

Well, you said show you CAN’T stream. Not “have never been able to stream.” Besides, the fact that it was streaming up until seven years ago is basically meaningless. The world has only become more stream-only in the intervening years.

WKRP in Cincinnati would be my choice with the same issues for music licensing. I ended up buying the DVD set from Shout Factory with something like 85% of the original music. I have never seen it on streaming.
