I Pity The Fool... who doesn't watch NBC's vintage series internet streams for free!

I wish they'd add other classic NBC shows like Amazing Stories, St Elsewhere, Hill Street Blues, LA Law, Crime Story, Remington Steele, Quantum Leap, and of course, Manimal, BJ & The Bear, and that Loni Anderson-Jack Elam vehicle, Easy Street. They don't even address the sitcoms of the 80s all with great theme songs from NBC like Diff'rent Strokes (who here doesn't remember the very special episode where Gordon Jump touched Dudley's pee-pee?), Facts of Life (ooh, Tootie, so sassy with your braces and roller skates), Silver Spoons (mmm Erin Gray), Cheers, Night Court, Family Ties, and 227 (which introduced the world to a sexy talent named Jackee). Name some more classic (and not so classic) shows I am forgetting that they should stream online
