Where to Watch Webster in the US

Not every great comedy makes it onto the major platforms, and Webster is a reminder of why it's always worth looking beyond the obvious. 6 seasons and 150 episodes of content is out there — TV Butler finds it for you instantly without the guesswork.

Webster does what great comedies rarely manage — it's actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Webster is an American situation comedy that aired on ABC from September 16, 1983 until May 8, 1987, and in first-run syndication from September 21, 1987 until March 10, 1989. The series was created by Stu Silver. The show stars Emmanuel Lewis in the title role as a young boy who, after losing his parents, is adopted by his NFL-pro godfather, portrayed by Alex Karras, and his new socialite wife, played by Susan Clark. Susan Clark and Alex Karras lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 6 seasons (1983–1989), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

Ideal for when you want something light without wanting something stupid. Webster respects its audience — rarer than it should be.
