They have the first three seasons for now. I'm guessing that they'll have some of the later seasons in a few months.

Benson is an surprising add to Roku Channel for many of the show’s fans

I just picked up Roku TODAY so I am excited about this, and to discover whatever else I've been missing out on.

They also took off NewsRadio, Silver Spoons, Barney Miller, The Flying Nun, Hazel and The Patty Duke Show. I'm not very happy with them right now.

Neither am I ! The first 2 seasons of Silver Spoons is on Tubi. Hopefully the rest of it & Benson will go over there too.

I sent ROKU a message yesterday (10/3/22) asking them why they were getting rid of Benson . I got something back that was probably automated. It said to give them my Email address & serial # of my ROKU device. (yeah, right...like I'm REALLY going to do that ?? Sorry everyone. . I think we're out of luck :-(

Yeah, I'm going to watch Silver Spoons on Tubi, but I don't think that the episodes are in the same order there as they were on Roku, so I'm gonna have to bother with trying to figure out which episodes that I've streamed and which ones that I haven't. The first two seasons of Benson are on Crackle and the third season is on ForLifeTV, but I'm gonna have the same dilemma with it as with Silver Spoons. First world problem at its finest.

I have Seasons 1 & 2 of Benson on DVD (yes I still own a DVD player ...go ahead & laugh

.......) I didn't even know S. 3 was out . I think the thing that annoys me the most is that at I was looking forward to Christmas where I could watch the "Mary & Her Lambs " episode & he sings.
(He has such a beautiful voice

) Maybe it's in Season 3 if I'm lucky! I'll check !
S. 3 isn't on DVD.....also I found out the episode Mary & Her Lambs is on Season 4 . DARN!!! Oh well...I'll watch all these on You Tube,

I'm not gonna laugh at you for owning a DVD player since I own a DVD/VHS combo player. I do have season one of Benson on DVD, so I won't be streaming it. No, season three isn't on DVD, but it is available for streaming on ForLifeTV. If you have a Roku then you can get it.

Actually I think owning DVDs is smart. The shows jump between streaming services and antenna networks too rapidly. I collect shows digitally and have over 800 tv series in my PLEX server specifically so I don't have to chase down shows on streaming services or worry that they will disappear on me. Many of those shows have been ripped from my DVD collection.
