Hulu is doing another purge. The streaming service is removing specific seasons or entire runs of several reality and scripted series. Many will leave the streaming service today, per Deadline.
These departures include seasons of older shows like Ally McBeal, The Practice, Hill Street Blues, and The Bob Newhart Show, as well as current shows like Beat Shazam, and Name That Tune. The removals are reportedly being made to help the streaming service cut costs.

What do you think? Are you a fan of any of the above shows? Do you plan to revisit them before they leave Hulu? Will these changes influence your decision to subscribe or stay subscribed?
At least Ally McBeal is still available on Hotstar.
Not happy at all that Hulu removed The Bob Newhart Show. I guess it’s time to by the series on discs and cancel my Hulu subscription!
Is the ship sinking?? Sounds like there some kind dynamic contract failure or event …
I sense I need to cancel Hulu after Only Murders completes its season – especially if they opt to not to stream new seasons of ABC and FOX shows the day after they air live on network.
About time to drop Hulu. Prime has most
No East New York? Didn’t see the last episode.
Mayor of Kingstown. Didn’t watch the last three episodes, it just got stupid.
Do you really think we are that stupid?
Loved Ally KcBeal. Hope some other service will show it.
It’s on Hotstar.
