Game Show "Channels" On Roku,...Etc... Thread.

[Chelsea Thrasher]

Content on the Wheel and J! channels on Pluto is being changed out/added onto. The Wheel stream and On Demand section has added 100 episodes between 2002-2012 (The first time anything newer than 2015 has shown up on streaming period), and they appear to have dumped out a lot of the J! episodes originally posted that had been part of previous streaming collections and they've added a couple of blocs of eps from the 2010s.

Pluto TV now has a 24-hour "5th Grader" channel in its Game Show section. At this point, it appears to be nothing but episodes from the two-season syndicated run.

Fremantle: The Bump game is too suggestive for the audience.

Also Fremantle, e'ry damn day:
(Picture in above comment)

Bing-freakin'-go!

The episode airing now showed Bump unedited

The "new" episodes tonight appear to be what had been scheduled before they removed Bump.  It was probably a mistake, but I'm certainly hoping otherwise.

It was probably a mistake, but I'm certainly hoping otherwise.

My money is squarely on "mistake" (they wouldn't have intentionally run 5831D on both Saturday and Monday), but it is interesting to get apparent confirmation that they had those four Bump episodes converted and ready to go before they were pulled.

And the Bump episode that they accidentally ran had a Showcase Showdown that was a lot of fun, so I'm glad we got to see it.

The 2nd episode that ran last night was shown a day or two ago, so very likely a mistake

I'm not convinced the motives for withholding the episodes was 'because they were bad' or had 'bad' content.

There was an episode a few days ago that had an edit in Safecrackers that looked like the channel purposely edited something out

Then again, a recent episode had an Oriental chest that had copy that was read in full.

So who knows at this point.

[chrisholland03]

There are also examples where episodes are clipped in one airing and intact in subsequent airings. 

We love a good conspiracy theory around here.

According to Fremantle’s IG, looks like we’re getting a new Feud streaming channel?

That graphic is suggesting two very different eras of the show at the same time, and I am here for the rampant speculation.

[BrandonFG]

The one clip on IG is from a Dawson episode, so who knows?

[MSTieScott]

I'm going to bet on the long shot of Louie Anderson's version, which would fit nothing in that image.

Hopefully it comes to other platforms besides Vizio.

Hopefully it comes to other platforms besides Vizio.

I'm surprised they mentioned Vizio in particular. I believe the other Fremantle-owned GS streaming channels are all on Pluto TV.....which you *don't* need a Vizio TV to view. Vizio does, however, have "WatchFree+", which mostly includes the Pluto channels among a few non-Pluto offerings.

Otherwise, also hoping for Dawson and Combs.
