Yeah, the lack of Black sitcoms on streaming services is rather jarring.

Some of those are on TVOne, such as the Wayans, My Wife and Kids, Good Times, and The Jeffersons.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/act-four/wp/2016/04/27/why-are-so-many-great-black-tv-shows-missing-from-streaming-services/

It's from 2016, but it still applies today.

I talked to Tim Havens, a communications studies professor at the University of Iowa who studies the intersection of race, ethnicity and the media, who advanced two theories but cautioned that its been hard to pin down a definitive answer to this lingering question.

The first is that the streaming rights to shows are often sold in big chunks, and its possible that the rights to some of these shows might be concentrated in studios such as Warner Brothers and Fox and havent been included in part of big package deals. The second might be that streaming services have decided that black shows just arent valuable to them, either because they believe that affluent white audiences wont watch those shows or because they arent chasing African American consumers money.

Sadly, this.

Then if you pay less to get them on your service, Monique will complain about it. Jk, someone will tho. It sucks that they would be worth less because America isn't as receptive but you gotta start somewhere. Might cause reboots and resources that wsy

Martin is on YouTube. $19.99 a season. It's cheaper to get the DVDs instead though.
