What YouTube channels post content similar to TV shows? (jlai.lu)

I'm sure there are channels that run similar to Public TV. They may post a regular show, or a variety of shows.

Maybe web-series is the word to use. They must be of decent quality and updated within the last 6 months.

I'm know not looking for documentaries, essay videos, pranks, reviews or vlogs.

And not 1-2 people going around doing whatever, or a group of people that sit with a static backdrop chatting or pulling up graphics.

I'm looking for funny game shows, dating shows, reality tv, sit coms, drama, variety shows, comedy or anything that would be similar to flicking through over the air TV (but not jsut shows copied from TV).

Its not YouTube, but Dropout.tv probably has the best "TV style" gameshow content.

I second this recommendation. Honestly, I hate the proliferation of streaming services... but this one's consistently fun. It's the College Humor folks. Fun stuff.

It’s the College Humor folks.

What?? Really? I loved those guys back in the day, definitely going to have to check this out!

[–] kescusay 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yep. They've got game shows that are really reminiscent of things like Whose Line Is It Anyway, and check out basically anything Brennan Lee Mulligan is involved with.

I'm definitely liking make some noise and dirty laundry

This is the only streaming service I actually like paying for. I want to support them.

They also have some of their content in YouTube. The 'um, actually' channel is how I discovered them.
