Is the TV show Thicker than Water available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?
At Stream Tracker, we take a look inside the jar to tell you where to find Thicker than Water (1973) — the pickled family comedy about Nellie and her womanizing brother Ernie, who each stand to gain $75,000 if they move back home to tend Paine’s Pure Pickles for five years. With an elder father, Jonas, who refuses to shuffle off and seems to relish every squabble, the show brims with briny humor and sibling rivalry that never quite goes stale. In this piece we'll map out the series' current streaming footprint — checking Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video and Apple TV+ — and explain how to watch it depending on your region. While Thicker than Water isn’t generally cited among major award winners, its quirky premise and pickle-jar dynamics make it a curious find for fans of classic small‑town comedies.
Synopsis
Practical Nellie Paine and her rakish brother Ernie are promised $75,000 each if they return to the family homestead, live with their elderly father Jonas, and keep the family business, Paine’s Pure Pickles, running for five years. The twist: both siblings can’t stand pickles, and Jonas — who shows no sign of slowing down — takes obvious pleasure in watching his grown children spar under his roof.
