Why Isn't Dancing With The Stars On Hulu

Okay, let's talk. Let's talk about something near and dear to my heart. Something that causes me mild (but persistent) streaming frustration.

Where's My Ballroom Fix, Hulu?

Why, oh why, isn't Dancing With The Stars on Hulu? It's a question that plagues me every season. Seriously, I ask myself this question every week.

I know, I know, it's on Disney+ now. But hear me out! I had a system with Hulu. My TV shows, my comfort food, all in one place.

The Hulu Habit

I'm a creature of habit. I like my shows neatly organized in my Hulu queue. It’s just easier, you know?

Think about it. Hulu is already home to so much ABC content. Grey's Anatomy, Abbott Elementary, The Bachelor. It feels like a natural fit!

Why make me jump to another platform? I already pay for Hulu! Am I the only one who feels this way?

My Unpopular Opinion (Maybe?)

Perhaps this is a truly unpopular opinion. Maybe everyone else happily switched to Disney+. But I miss my Hulu DWTS days!

Don't get me wrong, I love Disney+. It’s great for Marvel, Star Wars, and, you know, all the Disney classics. But my reality TV brain lives on Hulu.

I even tried to convince myself that it made sense. Disney owns both! But, alas, my argument held no weight against the cold, hard reality of streaming service silos.

The Convenience Factor

It all boils down to convenience, doesn't it? I want to watch Dancing With The Stars after a long day of work. I want it on the same app where I watch other shows.

Is that too much to ask? Apparently, it is. The world is a cruel and confusing place for streamers like me.

Maybe one day, the powers that be will hear my plea. Maybe one day, Dancing With The Stars will grace the Hulu interface once more. Until then, I will persevere (and maybe complain a little bit more).

The FOMO is Real

The fear of missing out (FOMO) is a powerful motivator. I don't want to be behind on all the cha-chas and tangos. Especially when my friends are talking about it.

I begrudgingly subscribe to another service. Just so I can be part of the conversation. It’s a vicious cycle, I tell you!

So, what's a dedicated ballroom fan to do? Watch it on Disney+, I guess. While secretly yearning for the good old days of Hulu.

A Plea to the Streaming Gods

Dear Streaming Gods (and maybe a few Disney executives), I make a humble request. Please consider bringing Dancing With The Stars back to Hulu.

Think of the convenience! Think of the harmony! Think of the relief on my weary, streaming-obsessed soul!

Thank you for listening to my rant. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a cha-cha to catch up on.

One can only dream of a world with all shows available everywhere!

Maybe I should start a petition. #BringDWTSBackToHulu
