Series that were overlooked during their early seasons, like _Breaking Bad_, [gained millions of new fans](https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/7/14/21312595/netflix-breaking-bad-podcast-streaming-land-of-the-giants#:~:text=AMC%20insists%20that%20Netflix%20was,that%20the%20network%20would%20run.&text=Netflix's%20platform%20made%20it%20easy,multiple%20episodes%20in%20one%20sitting.) on the streaming platform too. Playing host to these programs carries tremendous value, especially during quarantine. Committing to a new show can be a risk—what if it jumps the shark in Season 2 or, worse, gets cancelled during its prime? But revisiting critically vetted, familiar hits like _The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air_ and _ER_ is a reliable way to sate audiences looking for comfort binges. As the [streaming wars](https://time.com/5736490/streaming-wars-disney-plus-apple-tv/) continue, networks and cable channels are launching their own streaming platforms—and outbidding Netflix for the rights to old, fan-favorite shows. Services like HBO Max and NBC’s Peacock, both of which launched this summer, offer new series like the Anna Kendrick starrer [_Love Life_](https://time.com/5841541/hbo-max-originals-what-to-watch/) or an ambitious adaptation of [_Brave New World_](https://time.com/5865623/the-capture-peacock-bbc-review/)to lure subscribers. But in order to hold on to those new customers, they’re also building massive libraries of old content. HBO [reportedly spent](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/friends-officially-leaving-netflix-warnermedias-streaming-service-1223151) $425 million on the rights to _Friends_, while [NBC bid](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/office-why-nbcuniversal-is-paying-500m-pull-hit-netflix-1221020) $500 million for the rights to stream _The Office_ beginning in January 2021. Tracking where your favorite series are now moving and when can be confusing. Networks that originally aired certain series don’t necessarily retain the streaming rights. _Downton Abbey_ has found a new home on Peacock even though the costume drama originally aired on ITV and PBS; CBS All Access is streaming _Twin Peaks_ despite the fact that the mystery series first debuted on ABC. To help you sort through the chaos, we’ve laid out where you can stream some of the most bingeable series in television history. ## CBS All Access  _Cheers_ (also streaming on Hulu and Peacock) _Frasier_ (also streaming on Hulu and Peacock) _The Good Wife_ (also streaming on Amazon Prime) _I Love Lucy_ (also streaming on Hulu) _Star Trek_ (also streaming on Hulu, Amazon Prime and Netflix) _Twin Peaks_ (also streaming on Hulu and Netflix) ## Disney+  _Boy Meets World_ _The Simpsons_ _That’s So Raven_ ## HBO Max  _The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air_ _Friends_ _Game of Thrones_ _Luther_ (also streaming on Amazon Prime and Hulu) _The O.C._ _Sex and the City_ _The Sopranos_ _South Park_ _The Wire_ ## Hulu  _30 Rock_ (also streaming on Amazon Prime and Peacock) _Buffy the Vampire Slayer_ _Cheers_ (also streaming on CBS All Access and Peacock) _Community_ (also streaming on Netflix) _ER_ _Family Matters_ _Frasier_ (also streaming on CBS All Access and Peacock) _Fresh Off the Boat_ _Friday Night Lights_ (also streaming on Peacock) _The Golden Girls_ _I Love Lucy_ _Living Single_ (also streaming on CBS All Access) _Lost_ _Luther_ (also streaming on Amazon Prime and HBO Max) _The Mary Tyler Moore Show_ _Parks and Recreation_ (also streaming on Amazon Prime, Netflix and Peacock) _Seinfeld_ _Star Trek_ (also streaming on CBS All Access and Amazon Prime) _Twin Peaks_ (also streaming on CBS All Access and Netflix) _The X-Files_ ## Netflix  _Breaking Bad_ _Community_ (also streaming on Hulu) _Gilmore Girls_ _Jane the Virgin_ _Monty Python’s Flying Circus_ _The Office_ _Orange Is the New Black_ _Parks and Recreation_ (also streaming on Amazon Prime, Hulu and Peacock) _Sherlock_ _Star Trek_ (also streaming on Amazon Prime, CBS All Access and Hulu) _Twin Peaks_ (also streaming on CBS All Access and Hulu) _The West Wing_  _The Americans_ _The Good Wife_ (also streaming on CBS All Access) _House_ (also streaming on Peacock) _Luther_ (also streaming on Hulu and HBO Max) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5869024/where-to-stream-favorite-shows/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5869024/where-to-stream-favorite-shows/"},"headline":"Here's Where All Your Favorite Shows Are Streaming","datePublished":"2020-07-21T21:22:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:55:52.583Z","description":"Now that the streaming wars are in full steam following the launch of Peacock and HBO Max, here's where to find shows from Friends and the X-Files to Breaking Bad","url":"https://time.com/5869024/where-to-stream-favorite-shows/","keywords":["Television","list"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt55b6e15d86f6622b/698a1085011682deb997fa04/cropped-illustration.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt55b6e15d86f6622b/698a1085011682deb997fa04/cropped-illustration.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"cropped-illustration","caption":"Peacock is just the latest entrant into the streaming wars, as HBO Max, Netflix and others shell out for the rights to shows like 'Seinfeld,' 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' and 'The Office.'","creditText":"Dan Woodger for TIME","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/television/","name":"Television"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5869024/where-to-stream-favorite-shows/","name":"Here's Where All Your Favorite Shows Are Streaming"}}]}] ```
