Speaking of pre-2000s shows that hopefully more people will discover on streaming, I’d also include Taxi, albeit it’s a little butchered due to music rights.

Haven't checked recently but Taxi streaming is also missing certain episodes. Have not found one of my favorites - "Elegant Iggy" - in any of the streaming collections. Hard to believe the Chopin estate is holding up the music rights (though there might be a Mary Had a Little Lamb issue as well.

Paramount+ now has the whole series, including the episodes with music issues like that, the Vienna episode, and the one where Jim plays a Stevie Wonder recording while talking to his late father.

Thanks so much for this. Just enjoyed the episode for the first time in a long while (and they've done a wonderful job of spiffing up the video and audio including the whisper of a party guest (Nina Van Pallant) that was inaudible in the YouTube clips of yore). I guess at some point I had just given up checking. Had forgotten how strong the show was and how much the theme song struck a Thursday night, one more night to the weekend chord for me. Thanks again.
