Hulu resurrects TGIF lineup

The streaming service Hulu announced Thursday it has signed a deal with Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution for the exclusive streaming rights to programs that were part of the popular ABC programming block known as TGIF.

The shows under the deal include “Full House,” “Family Matters,” “Perfect Strangers,” “Step by Step” and “Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper.”

Nabbing the rights to “Full House” is particularly noteworthy considering Hulu’s rival Netflix’s success with reviving the comedy, which is returning for a third season in September.
