15 Beloved, Classic Shows That You Somehow Can’t Stream Today
Ah, the good old days of television. When the only way to watch your favorite shows was to be in front of the TV at the exact right time. When the only way to re-watch an episode was to tape it on VHS. When the only way to catch up on a show was to get the DVD box set. But now, in the age of streaming, we can watch any show we want, whenever and wherever we want... almost. Turns out, some classic shows just aren’t there.
This list is a tribute to some of the best shows from the past, from the quirky comedy of Pete & Pete to the suspense of Tales from the Crypt.... that you can’t stream today. We’ve got comedy, drama, horror, and more. We’ve got shows starring everyone from Jim Carrey to Andre Braugher. We’ve got shows that won awards and shows that were nominated for awards.
So, if you’re looking for a blast from the past, look no further. This list has something for everyone (to get frustrated by). So, without further ado, let’s get started on our journey through the best of classic television (that you can’t watch).
