While we don't know about how the show's new overlords will treat the beloved show, it could very well mean good things for fans.
Another huge thing that Disney bought — besides the right to include X-Men in their Avengers (http://mashable.com/2017/12/14/disney-fox-deal-crossovers-marvel/)movies — is a hefty share of control over streaming platform Hulu.
