And there are British TV shows most will recognise too, including Peep Show, Shameless, Being Human and Great British Menu.
Tubi launched in the UK last year, after a successful start in the US where it has a huge library of 250,000 titles.
It's available on devices like Amazon Fire Sticks and mobiles but it will be coming to directly to some TVs soon as well.
Tubi is planning to roll out the app to TVs powered by the TiVo OS.

A number of TVs by the likes of Panasonic, Bush and Sharp use the TiVo OS.
"VOD catalogues typically carry a mix of old & new content which is attractive to many audiences," said Gabriel Cosgrave, from TiVo parent Xperi.
"Services like Tubi offer viewers a frictionless yet personalised experience as well as a spontaneous discovery of content across the decades at no additional cost.
"By integrating Tubi into our content ecosystem, we’re not just following a trend – we’re responding to clear audience demand for more flexible, accessible, broad & nostalgic entertainment options.

"Viewers expect not only a time spanning catalogue of content but a simplicity in finding the right content and a must-have feature for any platform seeking to provide a complete content experience."
For TVs that don't have Tubi integrated there is another way you can get the service on your screen.

When loading Tubi on your smartphone, look out for Google Cast and Apple AirPlay buttons.
As long as the TV and your phone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network you should be able to beam content from Tubi on your phone directly to your TV.
Tubi recently announced that it had surpassed 97million monthly active users and streamed over 10billion hours last year.
"Tubi’s momentum is growing as audiences increasingly value a premium entertainment experience that is also 100% free, fun and reflective of culture," said Tubi CEO Anjali Sud.
"Our strategy is simple yet powerful: put viewers first by offering unique stories from unique storytellers, a vast selection of content to choose from and a delightful experience across devices.
"We let our viewers guide us and obsess over their engagement, and we are seeing the results."
