I don't see the point of streaming services like Tubi and Crackle adding shows - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

and not have the whole series. I mean thats ok for shows that are obscure and rarely see in syndication and not on DVD. But why for a show that can be purchased on DVD? I wanted to see a episode of Sanford the other night on Tubi and they only have 7 eps of the show

Not everyone feels like buying the DVDs.

No point in having a show if its incomplete unless it was 1 season. Just dont add it at all because its missing episodes.

But if its one of these shows it dont matter

AES Hudson street
Cop and the Kid
Calucci Dept
The Don Rickles show

I don't see it that way, but that's just me. I don't want to buy a Sanford DVD set, but I streamed the episodes that were available because they were free.

I think what the OP means is that if a series is available on DVD, then there is no excuse not to have all of the episodes.

It is also frustrating when a show is only released partially on DVD. Anything But Love has seasons 1 & 2 released on DVD but not season 3 & 4. Dave's World has not had season 4 released although seasons 1 through 3 have been made available.

I was watching a episode of the Jeffersons with this young kid and I remember his performance on Sanford and went to Tubi to watch and of course they didnt have the one that I wanted. I think I have the show in my collection and Have to look and see
