What are some series that you would watch but they are unavailable anywhere?

Leave it to Beaver is available on Roku.

I can't access the article. Could someone post it? Curious...

Freaks and Geeks is on Pluto, Hulu, Paramount and others.

Some of these are on Mesothelioma channels which often can be picked up with an antenna.

Policewoman is on Tubi.

HAWAIIAN EYE 77 SUNSET STRIP

Northern Exposure I'd the only one mentioned in the article that I would be curious ti watch again, or try to do.

I'm not a nostalgic person so a lot of old TV series that made an impression in their day don't hold up well. The humor, the style, the writing quality, and almost always it seems the timing fare poorly.

I liked Northern Exposure because it was about finding something in the often too quirky at first glance characters and the plot was just a transparent device to unfold these qualities and flaws of the characters. Each character was very much in his own or it - fitting, I suppose, for Alaska, and any connection or friction between characters only amplified the individuals, the plot was rather beside the point.

Maude is on Amazon Prime.

OPs article is from 2019.

I don't know why, (it worked for me) but here you go.

Wonderfalls

Empty Nest

I’d love to rewatch Xena.

2nd for Northern Exposure!

Popular (WB show, only for Leslie Grossman and Delta Burke's guest spots) early FOX shows (Duet, Open House, Tracey Ullman, Herman's Head)

The original The Killing (Forbryldesen). It’s not available in the US at all. I’ve heard very good things about it & liked the US remake.

Homicide

And not a series, but a film - Circle of Friends

Its an old article. The availability changes. It was posted as suggestion and example. Post any series you'd like to see but can't find.

r13, Xena is free on Roku and Tubi right now.

LA LAw

Sisters-90s NBC show

ThirtySomething.

YouTube has fragments of some episodes.

One of the greatest crime shows ever created, Partners in Crime, starring Lynda Carter and Loni Anderson.

Rubicon, Head Case.

Party Down was recently available somewhere, and I was so glad to see it again.

Brothers

Since I don't know if many DL denizens are even aware of the show, I'll add some detail: "When their youngest brother comes out as gay, two conservative men support him and help him navigate being openly gay in 1980s Philadelphia."

With Robert Walden, Paul Regina (RIP), Brandon Maggart, and Philip Charles MacKenzie.

You might remember Robert Walden from 'Lou Grant.' Very hunky at the time, as was Paul Regina. Maggart was the original gay bear and is the father of Fiona Apple. Philip Charles MacKenzie is straight but played a great flamer on the show.

Loved it at the time, and I remember it being the only TV show to feature two out characters. It may have been the first ever to feature ANY out gay character, but I'd have to research that.

I'd love to watch it again and see how it held up.

RELEASE HOMEFRONT!!!

China Beach, Moonlighting, Molly Dodd

^i have the entire Moonlighting series on DVD, it brings back so many happy, nostalgic memories. And Cybill was never more gorgeous.

The Days and Nights of Mollie Dodd. I have some bootleg DVDs of this series with awful quality. It’s due to the music rights that this series will never see the light of day in any format.

The entire run of Beulah with all the different Beulahs. And restored, please.

Square Pegs, The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd, December Bride, Pete and Gladys, Superman. I am happy to report that Mary Hartman Mary Hartman and the Pruetts of Southampton are on Youtube.

R29 Beulah is available. If you have Roku, do a search there and it should find it. I watched one episode not too long ago and could not believe that kind of shit was allowed on TV.

The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd

Is Fame available anywhere?

The first season of the Anna Nicole Show.

The 90s/early 2000s version of The Outer Limits. There were some great episodes and the series was on Hulu several years back.

Murder One

[quote] The 90s/early 2000s version of The Outer Limits.

This is on Comet.

Freddy's Nightmares

Strange Paradise

The Munsters Today

Another one that's mentioned in OP's older article, The Fugitive, now airs on MeTV.

Sightings

Daria with the original music.

I'd really like to see Parker Lewis Can't Lose again.

R31 there is a way to watch old movies and tv shoes that are filled with racism in resistant way, so as to appreciate the positive aspects of the production. This is the way it was done for many decades in media studies, for example. One could watch blackface in entertainment without the need to sensor it complete and ban it.

FOR FUCKS SAKE

TV shoes 🤪.

R41 Parker Lewis is (or was at least last year) on Pluto or Tubi or Paramount+, I can’t even remember at this point, but I watched several episodes.

R24 Several episodes of “Brothers” are on YouTube

I ordered bootleg DVDs of "Frank's Place" from a collector — it's the only place they exist. The music rights would have been staggering for a regular DVD release.

Yes, it's as good as they say but too far ahead of its time. One show could be broad comedy, the next dead serious. And a sitcom filmed like a movie with no laugh track was risky business in the 1980s. It likely would have thrived on premium cable a few years later.

The cast is uniformly outstanding. If you get a chance to watch, do so.

"The Dead Dog Records" arc of the "Wiseguy" series has the same problem regarding music rights. The eight episodes of that Season 2 arc (arguably one of the best storylines of the series) were not included in the 2009 DVD set, because of the music.

[quote] The original The Killing (Forbryldesen). It’s not available in the US at all. I’ve heard very good things about it & liked the US remake.

It is on Topic, all three seasons.

r31, both seasons of Murder One are available on Amazon. $9.99 each season.

I wish someone would stream Homicide: Life on the Street. I imagine music is the issue with this one, too.

"Private Eye" with Michael Woods and a baby Josh Brolin.

The Tracey Ullman Show

Days and Nights of Molly Dodd.

Is ANTM on anything? I’d love to rewatch some of those early cycles.

What about TPGZ or CCVBM?

The original series of "Mira Que TVO" from the Spanish station in the '90s. It was a prank show filmed in Miami and they constantly were having the hunkiest Hispanic men in the most compromising situations. There was one regular segment where they had a guy and his girlfriend switch swimsuits on the beach, so the guys were always in string bikinis. It was just the BEST show, even with my limited Spanish.

Am I the only person who religiously watched "Legmen" (1984)? It didn't last long, but man, was John Terlesky hot in it! It looks like a few fuzzy episodes are on Youtube, but I'd like to see the whole thing again.

WKRP in Cincinatti

The Vampira Show

Janice Dickinson modeling agency.

R52. Amazon Prime

Brideshead Revisited.

Adventures in Paradise is one I can't find anywhere

Dr. Kildare

R39 Sightings was my favorite paranormal/UFO type show. It used to air in my area on Friday nights at 9 pm during the 90s. I had the ritual of watching Unsolved Mysteries at 7 in my area and the tuning into Sightings. Both shows covered some of the same stories, it was interesting to see how show handled the topics.

Does anyone remember the show Monsters? It scared the shit out of me when I was 8. That and Tales From the Darkside

I'd also love to see Brothers again, r24, especially the original uncut Showtime episodes. I only ever saw the show when it ran in syndication on a local independent station in the early 1990s. I'm sure they had to cut some content since it was originally a cable show and probably also cut scenes to add commercials. It was an enjoyable show and the reruns were timely as I was just coming out when they were airing. They ran for about a year and then I never saw the show anywhere else again. When LOGO network first started I hoped they would air it.

Homefront Sisters Knots Landing Police Squad! WKRP In Cincinnati Soap In Search Of .... Cover Up!

Both have been mentioned, but I’d really love to rewatch Homicide and thirtysomething after all these years.

There was an early MTV original thriller series called Dead At 21 starring Jack Noseworthy I would love to find. I saw the first episode when it aired but never saw the rest of the series. It only ran 11 episodes and I don't think they've ever been repeated. I'm sure music rights are an issue.

Scarecrow and Mrs. King

[quote]I'd also love to see Brothers again, [R24], especially the original uncut Showtime episodes. I only ever saw the show when it ran in syndication on a local independent station in the early 1990s.

I remember a scene in a gay bar ...

Cliff (examining the drinks menu): "I'll have a Joan Collins, hold the cherry."

Bartender queen: "It doesn't come with one."

Brideshead Revisited has been on DVD forever.

“240 Robert” - a CHIPS knock-off starring young Mark Harmon and Matthew Perry’s dad.

R44

Thank you! I don't know why it never came up in searches. I should have searched YouTube specifically,

Oh, and glad to see that others have seen and enjoyed 'Brothers'! I suspect that whatever we are able to find will be shaved since it originally did air on Showtime; even in those days cable got away with a lot more. Or especially in those days.

R52 I believe it's on Pluto.

California Dreams, Hangtime w/Anthony Anderson, C-i-t-y (you can see why) Guys, The Guys Next Door, KIDS Inc, the original Battle of the Planets, Banana Splits, and ALL the other Krofft shit. UGH, I wish there was a channel on TUBI, PLUTO etc. devoted to Sid and Marty Krofft, Knots Landing

Hot L Baltimore -- can't find it anywhere.

I don't remember the name of it, but the crime series that took place in Vegas starring Dennis Farina with Billy Campbell.

A while ago I noticed that Frank’s Place was on YouTube. I rewatched the first episode but was afraid to watch more in case it was as good as I remembered. It was the perfect show in my memory.

It was never released on video or DVD as I recall; it didn’t have a lot of music (ie like WRRP) so that was not the hold up.

[quote]I don't remember the name of it, but the crime series that took place in Vegas starring Dennis Farina with Billy Campbell.

"Crime Story", set in Chicago and Vegas. It's on Tubi.

That's Life, starring Heather Paige Kent, Deb Mazur, Ellen Burstyn, and Paul Sorvino. Cute show from the early 2000s. Also The Trials of Rosie O'Neill, starring Sharon Gless, from the early 1990s.

"I Married Joan" -- some folks told me they preferred it to "I Love Lucy" back in the day

SCTV -- Andrea Martin as Edith Prickley in "Prickley Heat", Martin Short, Joe Flaherty, John Candy, Catherine O'Hara, etc.

That's Life - Robert Morse, E.J. Peaker -- a musical comedy series - I think it only lasted a season

R79

'The Trials of Rosie O'Neill' is available on Prime Video/IMDB TV. You have to watch IMDB TV with ads. Both seasons. Great show. I don't know why CBS canceled it.

Boomtown. I can't find it anywhere.

It wasn’t the same after Pancho died r83

California Fever

Thanks, r82

R80 Roku has several streaming channels that show I Married Joan.

The Shield --- great story arcs.

James At 15

[quote]The Shield --- great story arcs.

That episode where Vic burns Danny Pino's face on an electric stove belongs in the "episodes that have always haunted me" thread.

R88 The Shield is on Hulu.

Shannon's Deal, the Lazarus Man, American Gothic (the Gary Cole one) as well as the aforementioned Homicide. It was a pity Robert Urich was too ill to go one with the Lazarus Man, but that was a good setup for a mystery/crime/maybe espionage series.

Herman’s Head, I married Dora, Savannah, Models Inc, Twilight Zone (the series from the 80’s), Out of this World, the adventures of Pete & Pete, Paper Dolls, Byrds of Paradise, Tribes

Tenko was really good.

The 80s Twilight Zone is on DVD

R93 A user named "John Doe" has a youtube channel that includes a Playlist of all 34 episodes of Savannah. (The resolution isn't too bad.)

Here's a link to the premiere double episode. (DL wouldn't take a link to the playlist, but you find that on his channel.)

Brideshead Revisited is on Britbox.

Tales from the Crypt. HBO must not own the rights because this show was fairly popular (as far as '90s premium cable goes) and spawned two movies.

Linc's on Showtime with Pam Grier and Golden Brooks (Maya on Girlfriends) was a fun update of Frank's Place. Rude Awakening with Sherliyn Fenn premiered at around the same time, based on the messy alcoholic life of Claudia Lonow (Diana on Knots Landing). It was very hit or miss but Lynn Redgrave was funny and Jonathan Penner was hot. I'd really like to see Beggars & Choosers again, showbiz satire with daddy Tuc Watkins.

[quote] Hot L Baltimore -- can't find it anywhere.

I’d like to see that as well.

Marble head manor, The Charmings, Sirens (1994), Dead at 21, Drexel’s Class, Camp Wilder, Living Dolls, True Colors, Key West

I loved True Colors

Dead at 21 on mtv was great

I loved True Colors

The Charmings!

The Charmings

Camp Runamuck

The New Adventures of Beans Baxter

Boys will be Boys starting Matthew Perry (Which was revamped from the earlier show Second Chance)

Second chance (later revamped to Boys will be Boys)

Babes

Here Come the Brides

Nanny and the Professor

Can someone help me find "Maybe It's Me". Thanks

R90 Yeah BUT Danny Pino in underwear is STUNNING. I remember freeze-framing that shit.

Hey R97, do you like Britbox? I'm thinking about getting it.

The late 90s/early 00s Lifetime show Any Day Now.

I downloaded Northern Exposure on Piratebay a few years. It was fun watching it again.

December Bride

Bachelor Father

Seasons 4-6 of Petticoat Junction

What's Happening Now?

Also yes R22 Partners in Crime, which would have us believe Lynda as a photographer and Loni as a musician, and also that they could solve mysteries on the regular when in actuality the mystery of 2+2 would've probably been a challenge. It was two aging leading ladies in a Charlies Angels minus one format. And the mysteries were even dumber (don't forget Charlie's Angels almost always showed us the guilty party toward the top of the episode--it was a show about pursuit and collecting evidence, not solving whodunit type mysteries).

Carter is styled like a femme Linda Dano pretty much throughout. Eileen Heckart, who could out-act both ladies without even getting out of her chair, is the Bosley-esque older character. It's odd to see her in a scene with actors who can barely make you believe they're reading a newspaper or that someone is on the other end of the phone.

Thirtysomething was on Hulu briefly a few years ago and then disappeared. I would also love to see Once and Again.

R117 Bachelor Father is airing on Antenna TV. I see it on my cable guide weekday mornings at 8AM Pacific (two episodes), so it's probably 11AM Eastern. They also run two episodes at midnight (or 3AM) Sundays.

The Sela Ward Programmes, Sisters and Once and Again.

She won Emmys for both of them.

I remembered this one after perusing the Anne Archer thread. Martin Hewitt was so hot and I remember a scene with a young James Spader jogging in sweat pants that made an impression on 15 year old me!

With most of these shows just watching the opening credits would be enough.

[quote] California Dreams, Hangtime w/Anthony Anderson, C-i-t-y (you can see why) Guys

I remember those shows on TNBC. They have mostly been forgotten about because they never reached Saved by the Bell status in pop culture.

Freeform back it was known as ABC Family aired reruns of Hang Time in the early 2000s. City Guys was briefly rerun on another cable channel, it wasn't ABC Family. I can't think of which channel it was.

I'm kind of surprised none of these shows have even turned up on free streaming services like Crackle, Pluto TV, or Tubi.

R124 OR fucking Peacock, for God's sake.

R60 R71 R97 You can also stream "Brideshead Revisted" free at Crackle.

"Just the Ten of Us" is one I look for periodically and can never find. I got sick of waiting for "Sisters" to stream somewhere and purchased the Shout Factory DVDs.

All 24 episodes of BOOMTOWN are available on YouTube. Someone named twitchinstereo installed them 11 years ago. I haven't watched them, but I imagine they're free. You can $tream Boomtown by renting or purchasing on Google Play, iTunes, and Vudu.

Hard Time on Planet Earth (1989) because Martin Kove shows a lot of skin in the pilot.

City Guys was on Tubi several months ago. I just checked and it's no longer available.

[quote] "Just the Ten of Us" is one I look for periodically and can never find. I got sick of waiting for "Sisters" to stream somewhere and purchased the Shout Factory DVDs

I bought the Sisters DVD sets back in 2016 because I had the feeling that it wasn't going to turn up on streaming. After I bought the DVDs, I had belongings in storage because I went to another state for a few months for a work project and I was also in the process of closing on a house. When I returned from my work trip, I got everything out of storage and moved into my house. I pretty much kept my DVD collection stored in the basement and forgot about Sisters and other TV show DVD sets that I had purchased, but hadn't watched. I finally watched the DVDs in summer of 2020 after my job had moved to remote status and I was home a lot because of the lockdowns. It was pretty fun to do a rewatch because there were some great performances on the show that I had forgotten about.

GCB is at least available for digital/vod purchase on Apple, Amazon, etc.
