    Personally, I'd love to see China Beach streaming on Netflix or Hulu.

    Some of these shows (Castle, All in the Family, Fresh Prince) are shown in syndication pretty regularly, on some channel or another. But yes, others are conspicuously absent. Every now & then I remember a show I loved, and realize that I haven't seen it on any cable channels in years.

    So Vulture says that “Chicago Hope, the site notes, didn’t boast a memorable soundtrack.....” well I watched it the 90’s. When smartphones & IPods came onto the scene, I would make my own playlists and one of them was and still is, TV Theme Music. Before I listened to it AGAIN because of this article, I knew how the opening theme went, and this is 19 years after it went off the air. I’m guessing the writer of the article was too young to have watched it. I certainly thought it was memorable if I could remember it after all these years have gone by.

    I contacted Tubi bc they are streaming some of the older shows and they replied back they are putting on their program list whatever that means. I also want to see Northern Exposure again. May have to purchase dvds. Just seems like copies not always good according to reviews.

    They don't meant the theme song. Rights to music can be expensive, so they meant the soundtrack within the show. Compared to how many other shows use heavy music, they didn't use a lot...except for the Broadway singing.

    The Nanny I’ve only found on Cozi TV and not on the streaming sites. Same with Benson, only found it on Antenna TV

    With Hulu and Disney+, hopefully they'll merge for on low price with Plus being a kids section available through a family account. With ABC and FOX libraries being owned by Disney, maybe Disney will finally put Castle on Hulu and maybe instead of paying fees and other BS, the big streamers and channels will come with a better solution: Trading rights. Take Law and Order Criminal Intent, it's a good show that NBC couldn't work with, except maybe on Peacock, so trade the streaming rights for the TV rights of a comparable program that's been streamed previously. The programs should be treated by the networks and streamers like sports teams trading for a better advertisement revenue for an increased listing of programs being rolled out on one platform or the other. The first right to stream should be the parent entity, then after a year, they should be offered to other streamers in return for access to cancelled programs or other programs that aren't actively being produced.
