Is something on the list not on Netflix?
That's strange, since everything on the list are Netflix Originals you should be able to get them all no matter where you are in the world. What I can tell you is that this was written in November 2019. So maybe something has happened since then that could cause something to be removed from Netflix. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Please Note
These ratings were referenced December 2019. The ratings of the shows may have changed since then.

As Days Go By: A Look at "Family Matters"
Does anybody remember ABC's "TGIF" lineup? I do, fondly. I watched a lot of ABC as a kid; the network had some great lineups, but the main night for me regarding the "Alphabet Network" was, of course, Fridays. Back in the 1990s, ABC struck gold continously with their "TGIF" lineup, and over the years of my childhood, I enjoyed shows such as Hangin' With Mr. Cooper, Step by Step, Boy Meets World, and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. However, the top show for me on Fridays, was--without question--Family Matters.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
