Hey baby, I hear the blues a’callin’… because Frasier is leaving Netflix!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the classic NBC sitcom is indeed leaving Netflix at the end of the month. Come 2020, you won’t be able to stream Niles’ mishaps, Daphne’s premonitions, Marty’s cantankerousness, or Eddie’s antics on the most popular streaming service around. This is another massive blow to Netflix subscribers, as next year will also see the departure of Friends (also on 1/1/20) and The Office (sometime in the spring) from Netflix.

Why is Frasier leaving Netflix?

We don’t know for sure, but it’s probably the exact same reason why every other major show is leaving Netflix: they’re expensive and Netflix is focusing on their originals rather than preserving a back catalogue of comfort food shows. That means that when all the deals for shows like Friends, Frasier, and The Office run out, Netflix isn’t really too keen on dropping the dollars to renew them (and in the case of Friends and The Office, HBO Max and Peacock respectively are building their launches around having those legacy shows).

What will you do without Frasier on Netflix? Well, you can either go back and watch the Frasier seasons of Cheers (seasons 3-11) or you can stream Frasier practically everywhere else. Seriously.

Where can you stream Frasier?

Frasier is not hard to find on streaming. You can also stream the most popular show about an iffy psychologist (you’re number one in my heart, Bob Hartley) on practically every other major streaming service. And unlike Netflix, it doesn’t look like Frasier’s leaving any of them any time soon. You can stream Frasier on Hulu. You can stream Frasier on Amazon Prime Video. You can even stream Frasier on CBS All Access. Odds are if you have Netflix, you probably have one of these other streaming services. Heck, you might have purchased Prime so you can have toilet paper delivered ASAP and not even realize you can also watch Frasier with it!

So just because Frasier is leaving Netflix doesn’t mean your time in Seattle is over. You can still watch Frasier on at least three other streaming services–and hey, Netflix will still have Cheers.
