of them seem to be complete. They only have 2 seasons which means its a waste of everyone eyesight and better off not even on the site.

2 seasons of what? The Jeffersons? Good Times? There's lots of other great sitcoms on there where they show the complete series. I would say without any doubt that TUBI is the best free streaming site for on demand classic sitcoms, followed closely by The Roku Channel and the PLUTO TV US channel. (The Canadian PLUTO TV is terrible.) So give TUBI a try and see if you can find something else to watch.

That one I had noticed. But at least they have seasons 3 and 4, which are the two best seasons.

But one episode is missing from each season. And for season 3 they’re missing part 2 of the four parter The Older Man. Only having 3 of the 4 parts is pretty lame.

Which means they need to remove that **** from their website:lol:

And add Facts of Life and 227 to that list. For some odd reason, that’s how they do with those shows. They only have two seasons at a time but they do rotate them out every few months so they will eventually cycle through the whole series but no telling how long it will be.

Because Kotter is a Warner Bros show. All the others are Sony. I guess that’s how it works with Sony shows. They are only able to have two seasons at a time.

Well they need to only select warner bros shows because fans want to see all seasons. lol

My pet peeve is when Tubi doesn't have both parts of a two-part episode. Don't leave me hangin', Tubi!

Tubi also has all of the lost episodes of the Honeymooners taken from MPI’s 2011 dvd box set…in closed captioned. The 2011 dvd set doesn’t have this. And unlike some of the closed captioning that was on dvd sets prior to the 2011 set, there are no mistakes. The episodes that were on the previous DVDs made prior to 2011 had closed captioning in which there were A LOT OF MISTAKES.

You want to know one frustration I have with Tubi? Warner Bros. theatrical titles being available on Tubi with their old uppercase-only closed-captioning preserved and WB never creating new lowercase closed captioning for those titles at all beforehand (the same issue Diff'rent Strokes has). If a program's CC has both spoken dialogue and non-speech descriptions in all-uppercase, I will avoid it like the plague. I'd much rather Tubi select Universal titles (film and television).

Tubi isn't the only streaming service that only carries two seasons at a time of certain shows. The Roku Channel and Pluto also do this.

I'm guessing that me pointing out that two seasons is better than nothing would be a waste of my time. Oops, looks like I did it anyway.

Right. Better than one or no seasons

But when they have said seasons they should have every episode of it, which as I pointed out about ODAAT they don’t. Having every episode of shows we know easily exist should be the easy part of the equation.

And it should be easy to say “season 1 and 2 available till [expiration date]. Season 3 and 4 coming on [start date]. That would also be useful.

I was going to mention that too. This gives me an idea. I can make a list of classic shows carried by all 3 providers that fit into 2 categories - those that come in 2 seasons and those that carry the complete series. This will make it easier for you to find the ones you want to watch next time. I'll start with Pluto.
