New Channel on Roku (etal) Airing Game Shows
« on: April 07, 2017, 11:33:58 AM »
For those with a Roku (or similar) device, there is a new channel you can watch Game Shows seen on Buzzr.

The channel is called Nosey, and has on-demand select episodes of Game Shows, Talk Shows, and other reality shows.

Currently, they have available the following:

●  Press Your Luck. -- including Randy West's run.
●  To Tell The Truth -- Black & White eps.
●  Card Sharks -- Eubanks
●  Family Feud -- Dawson
●  Match Game 7×

Also of note: American Gladiators.

Looks like there are 20 episodes of each available.  It is too early to tell how long they'll go before they switch out the episodes (if at all).  It looks like these episodes are from the masters with Fremantle tags at the end.

Enjoy!

Looks to be available on Android and iPhone as well (but not Apple TV).

Huh, and it's ad-supported as well, so it's probably legit. How interesting. Damn useful for those of us who still don't have Buzzr. I wonder who owns them. (Searching didn't come up with much info.)

EDIT: A little more digging reveals the parent company to be a "Nosey Baxter, LLC" which is owned by Marathon Ventures, which seems to be a media sales consulting company of some kind, whose website lists Buzzr among their clients. So there is definitely a connection.

There's also a selection of Louie Anderson Feud episodes, and yes this all appears to be officially licensed. Interesting, especially for those of us who don't get Buzzr.

Nice thing about Nosey so far that I like is that the ad(s) only play before/between each episode.  Otherwise, you have 22-24 minutes of show with no interruptions, which is great for those who know how to "archive" such shows for later viewings (wink, wink).

That was not my experience on a Roku. I had ad breaks between segments.

That's interesting, since I had to load Nosey on both of my Roku devices and had the same results. 

I have seen various ad breaks varying between streaming devices and between Roku channels, though.  Very interesting.

Watching Card Sharks now...in spite of the fact that the description gives away the outcome. :P  So far, I've had the same 5-second Scion commercial at the top of the show and during breaks.

The picture quality looks great.

The picture quality was great. The streaming bandwidth was not great. Maybe I'm spoiled on Netflix and MLBAM, but I thought it took too long to recover from buffers, and buffered a little too often. Content is great though!

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.

I'm sure its been mentioned before, but BUZZR apparently offers a syndicated package of sorts consisting of Rafferty Card Sharks and the aforementioned Louie episodes of Feud.  I viewed both programs last summer when visiting Denver.  Interestingly, neither series appears on BUZZR itself.

Am I the only one who finds it unfortunate our genre is lumped in on an app that's only other content consists of Jerry Springer, Maury, and Cheaters?

Seconded.

Yes. Most of the rest of us couldn't give a flying fig what it's combined with, because we don't have to watch it.

Could they be the same 20 seen in a newly-added collection to Hulu?

Are there any territorial restrictions? For some reason I am being geoblocked from pretty much all the content. Except Jerry Springer...

Additionally, if you can use GSN's smartphone app (you have to authenticate through your cable provider), they have started adding episodes of Match Game 74 in addition to the originals and Harvey Feud they had previously.
