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!
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.
Hot Ones is always pretty entertaining
Red Letter Media
Mike and Jay are a modern Siskel and Ebert. Film reviews, b-movie marathons and recently, a lot of trivia shows :D
I will never get over the fact that Rich was Dick the Birthday Boy.
holy shit
If you’re into cars at all, Drivetribe (founded by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May) posts a lot of content that Top Gear fans will enjoy. Very high production value.
The entire Dropout channel looks like it’s from some alternative reality Comedy Central. Here’s a trailer for one of their programs.
British tv has a lot of shows for free on YouTube: Jimmy Carrs “I literally just told you”, Taskmaster, Qi, would I lie to you, 8 out of 10 cats… These are all bbc productions, so literally tv shows. All are panel shows with a comedic purpose, and different approaches.
BBC is the best. The broadcasting company that is, the other one is not my kink.
For sure check out Taskmaster.
I recommend Puppet History
It’s a well-made comedy game show
Hangin’ With Doctor Z. Dana Gould hosts a 70’s style talk show while dressed up like Dr. Zaius from Planet of the Apes.
That sounds pretty good, and definitely something in the way that in looking for.
Criminal that his channel doesn’t have more subs
This is verrry niche but Live from Moosejaw is what looks to be a YouTube comedy series that’s just starting up about a long time local hockey broadcaster who gets saddled with a big city equivalent on his talk show. I enjoyed the teasers/setup they were showing before today’s premiere episode https://youtube.com/@LivefromMooseJaw?si=BvgpECdEEltcKlY4
Is Mac featured though?
Not sure if your style, but maybe Cut? It’s like reality TV from 2010’s MTVs but for youtube.
has tons of free tv-like channels with a slew of content. Plus you can self-host your own media on there for free too if you that’s your thing.
I thought those channels were just IP-TV channels? I’ve seen a bunch of them on other IPTV services anyhow.
I also recommend Pluto.TV for anybody who enjoys Plex’s live TV. They’ve got a similar business model in place (watch for free with regularly-scheduled ads, like normal TV), and some different content sources (as well as some overlapping sources). Like Plex, it also doesn’t require any account to watch. It also has an app for most TV platforms.
Good Mythical Morning scratches the itch for me on most days for this kind of content. Plus i just really enjoy Stevie’s voice 🥰
Dont hug me im scared
Big lez show
Kill tony
AntsCanada channel, and their Pantdora series.
More educational content seems to fit this such as:
Gaming Historian
PBS Spacetime
As much as I love space time, I would very much say it’s a video essay. one dude cutting to graphics and overlays.
I’d not imagine that on TV.
I’ll check out the others.
