By now most viewers are familiar with the constantly-shifting cycle of shows and movies that come with any streaming service. One month your favorite service can have all of your favorite movies all in one place. The next all of those classics can disappear and be replaced by B-grade rom-coms. All of this is part of the gamble that comes with streaming subscriptions. However, even when account for the fact every streaming service is bound to leave remove some shows each year, Netflix has lost a remarkable number of staple licensed shows this year.

“Staple licensed shows” refers to any network or cable show that would likely attract a big audience. Classics like The Office or Cheers certainly fall into this category. Over the years, Netflix has lost some bigger titles. Last year saw the removals of big shows such as M*A*S*H, Chuck, several Cartoon Network shows, and Psych among others. But between the end of Netflix’s deals with Scripps Network and 21st Century Fox as well as the loss of mainstream hits like 30 Rock, Scrubs, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY and How I Met Your Mother, there have been a big of big-name losses this year. A total of 108 shows have left Netflix this year, over 40 of which can be considered big shows. This information is based on the “What’s Leaving Netflix” information Netflix sends out each month.

Despite this loss, the full list of shows on Netflix has likely increased, thanks to the streaming service’s aggressive push for original content. At the end of 2016, Netflix had released 55 new seasons of original shows as well as 57 new and original movies and specials. The year isn’t even over, and the streaming service has already almost tripled that number. So far in 2017, there have been 164 new seasons of Netflix-branded shows as well as 135 movies and specials. The numbers for this year are based on Netflix’s monthly “New on Netflix” email newsletters, but those numbers may possibly go up as Netflix is a fan of dropping select titles without warning.

From pop culture events like 13 Reasons Why, Stranger Things, and Marvel’s The Defenders, critical gems like Dear White People, BoJack Horseman, She’s Gotta Have It, and Lady Dynamite, and breakout hits like Ozark, Big Mouth, and Mindhunter, this has been an especially great year for Netflix original shows. That relatively brief list doesn’t even take into account the streaming service’s stellar collection of docuseries and strategic push when it comes to the world of anime. Netflix has also added several buzzy licensed shows to its library this year, from The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story to Riverdale and Better Call Saul. However, as we look into Netflix’s bright future and wave of successes, it’s equally important to look at what we’ve lost over the course of 2017.

Below is every show that left Netflix sometime this year. Many of these titles, especially the bigger-named one, have found their homes on other streaming services, particularly Hulu.
