What do you think? Are you a fan of the TGIF lineup? What classic ’90s shows will you watch on Hulu?
Hulu rules, Netflix sucks! Big thanks to Hulu for especially having Step By Step, been wanting to watch that again for so long! And I can finally watch all of Family Matters, I know I had to have seen most of the eps. With Netflix streaming Fuller House, Idk how they didn’t get the rights to the original series. Don’t care anymore.
Wish those shows would air on cable TV. Miss those classics.
Family Matters airs on the channel Centric
I would join Hulu if I wasn’t already paying for other streaming services.
Hulu is only $7.99 a month.
