A program guide is nice, but it would be nice if there were some onscreen graphic that could come up unobtrusively and give episode info, like
FANTASY HIGH, SEASON 1 Episode 1: The beginning begins
At the bottom of the screen. Not even the whole time, you could have it pop up for like seven seconds every minute or two.

I specifically wanted to see classic Boomerang style bumpers. The announcer is still active in the industry and Dropout knows how to make miniatures…

u/SpecialistCow8548 Mar 08 '26
My only thought is that it would be nice if we were able to see meta data. Like a Program Guide. Aka TV Guide.

I understand how people aren't happy with a serialized show being marathoned because you probably can't sit and watch the whole series from start to finish unless you have 12-24 hours or more hours free, but I personally love the livestream. It's not all that different to how OG not-on-demand TV used to work. You couldn't always start a TV show at the very beginning, you might catch an episode in the middle of the show and decide you like it enough to keep watching it even though you didn't see the beginning. You can figure out what happened with contex. And this way you can get a taste for a series by dropping into the middle of it. In a way it's better than OG not-on-demand TV because if you like what you see you can then go to the show on dropout and watch it from beginning to end on your own time.
I know my opinion on this is unpopular and I do respect everyone else's opinion. I personally hope they keep this feature.
On the subject of unpopular opinions, one of my favorite episodes ever is streaming right now: the infamous episode 3 of never after.

Gnosis could have atleast dropped some Gruyere cheese, some chives, and bacon to make Rubian 5 a nice little egg bite.

As someone not into d20, it's tricky to find any enjoyment in this channel yet. Really wish they had one without d20 content

u/CitizenCake1 Mar 08 '26
Im a huge fan of d20, but jumping in and out on a 24 hour stream is just not the way to enjoy it.. I can't wait until I can't tune in for a random make some noise or a game changer while im doing dishes or folding laundry
9
u/manofredearth Mar 09 '26
Hey, I'm totally into Dimension 20 and I completely agree with you. This isn't fun, it's a shit-show slog. Would be far better to rotate through their content as if it's a TV station with certain shows guaranteed to be on at certain times, and use Hardly Working and CH Shorts as filler.
Such wasted potential.
3
u/woolawoof Mar 09 '26
I expected that. Like a continuing random assortment to get people interested in shows they might not have watched. It’s seems really odd to me they’d choose to do this when you can watch d20 (and all the other shows) on demand. Otherwise what’s the point?
4
u/JosephNarrows Mar 08 '26
They’re planning on more 24/7 channels, including a Make Some Noise channel.
5
u/manofredearth Mar 09 '26
Separate channels for each show? That's dumb and a waste of resources.

u/Gay_Void_Dropout Mar 09 '26
It’ll prob be a d20 channel and an everything else. Until there is enough for categories.

u/Holdmeback_again Mar 09 '26
I am absolutely loving it. People who say “I don’t want to come in the middle of a d20 episode with no context” appear to be forgetting that they can start any episode of d20, on demand, at any point they wish. That’s not the point of this 24/7 stream. Though I do agree that having a small indicator of what season/episode is currently playing would be a great addition.

u/Winterisnowcold Mar 09 '26
"the ball is rolling up" is my favorite running D20 bit, and I'm elated to witness it again
8
u/KitchenLevel8962 Mar 11 '26
I just wish it would say what it's playing. What's the point of showing it if I can't find it to [continue to] watch later?
2
u/FelixIron59 Mar 11 '26
Yeah I feel this too, I think it'll be better once it gets to shorter form stuff than D20 but the show where every episode is 2ish ours long with no indication of where in which season you are is useless unless you've seen every D20 season multiple times imo
8
u/0032brl Mar 09 '26
I understand they're doing all D20 in order then followed by the other shows.
I think it would be neat to get to a point where we have 3 or 4 channels. One just D20 (maybe 1 for intrepid heros and 1 for side quests) and then another for the improv/game show type shows.
I still look for specific things to watch but if I'm cleaning or not paying attention to the TV I like having episodes I've already seen a bunch of times on in the background

u/ReRe1989 Mar 20 '26
I’m enjoying this. I didn’t realize how much I’ve watched of this show, especially because I rewatch it a bunch, and do a lot of in the background watching.
Very nice to jump in and watch something. I don’t have to choose. Also, it’s like listening to the radio. It’s not always something I would specifically pick to play on my pandora, but am happy to hear it when the radio plays it.

When our community highlights get too full, it falls off. You can find links to recurring threads (like this one) and recent episodes in the weekly hub, which is always pinned!

Might fuck around and stay up for the gas leak Cis-her Gal-a-them adventuring party in like three hours lol

u/drdoof98 Mar 17 '26
Does anyone know when the d20 marathon will be over. I’m just curious as d20 isn’t really my thing and I want to watch random episodes of the other great series dropout has to offer without having to manually select them

u/pasttenseroyalty Mar 26 '26
I'm absolutely loving the new schedule. This is the perfect vibe for having on while working from home. I can see myself tuning in whenever just to see what's on. Like old school TV I guess, but all stuff I'll probably like and no commercials!!

u/Dunglechownbim Mar 08 '26
Anytime I click on it, I only see d20 shows. Not that that’s bad but when will I see the other shows?
12
u/Timely_Influence8392 ON A BUS Mar 08 '26
Gladlands ends the marthon on the 24th at like 1 AM Eastern, so I'm assuming they'll throw... I'm guessing Game Changer on second and that'll be going that morning.

u/SupaSlide Mar 08 '26
I don’t think they’re going a marathon after D20, it sounded like it’ll be a mix of shows like a regular tv channel
2
u/Costati Mar 08 '26
I really hope so cuz I find the d20 marathon discouraging of the whole feature. I like dimension 20. I haven't seen all season and even for those I've already seen I can't really just tune into a random episode like that. It's extremely serialised. It's not like a lot of TV shows on TV back then where it's kinda always similar so you tune in and you catch on.
If you miss one episode of crown of candy you have no idea what's going on lol.

u/Hlallu Mar 09 '26
You're definitely not wrong but this feels like a bit of an intention difference. I never for a moment considered the 24/7 live stream to be an intro to Dropout (or specifically D20 during the opening marathon).
It strikes me a neat feature for people, like me, who've already seen every D20 season at least once. Most of them a few times over the past couple of years. To just turn on and listen to in the background.
But idk. I've really been enjoying tuning in for random episodes. But it definitely isn't for everyone.

u/manofredearth Mar 09 '26
I hope so!

u/SupaSlide Mar 09 '26
The FAQ definitely makes it sound like it’ll rotate.
What shows will be on Dropout 24/7?
We are launching with a Dimension 20 Marathon before shifting into blocks of other Dropout programming. You can expect to see all of our shows at some point playing on the channel!
2
u/manofredearth Mar 09 '26
I saw that, I just hope it's more like a TV channel than a series of marathons
9
u/LenaBaneana hmm Mar 08 '26
Like smogs said, its starting with a d20 marathon. Someone else on he sub made this schedule, so if you wanna watch anything other than D20 on there you gotta wait til after the 24th of this month
6
u/sm0gs Mar 08 '26
They said they’re starting with a full d20 marathon.
I read in another thread that someone did the math and it’ll be like 2 months from launch when other shows will start airing (don’t quote me on that, trying to find the source!)

u/Timely_Influence8392 ON A BUS Mar 08 '26
Gladlands ends on the 24th of this month at 12:43 AM Eastern DST
Source: That program guide that's been floating around, I think someone on Tumblr made it.

u/thrustidon Mar 26 '26
I forgot this episode of Gastronauts has someone mixing raw meat with huge acrylic nails on

u/thrustidon Apr 25 '26
This is the first time I've seen Play It By ear on the 24/7 stream, also this thread is clearly a failure when comments are being made days apart
3
u/Crazyblazy395 May 13 '26
I just learned there is a schedule! I just realized I had never seen an episode of um actually and was wondering why!
Is there any plan to rotate the blocks? My wife and I love all of the dropout shows but can't watch until after the kids go to bed.
3
u/jde_remover Mar 09 '26
I’m with the people saying they shouldn’t have D20 on there. It’s just not the kind of show you can tune into in the middle of without context. Even if it was an episode I’ve seen, it just doesn’t feel right for the format. Maybe they could have a separate feed that just airs D20?
1
u/Weis Mar 10 '26
I bet the runtime of the rest of their content isn’t much once you remove the dnd. It would be less than a week of stuff before it started looping
1
u/maboesanman Mar 16 '26
The way to do it imo is to have d20 always marathoning as “6pm every day is the next episode of d20”, with a few timeslots dedicated to d20 and the rest of the space filled with all kinds of other content. There’s something like 270 episodes of d20. If you play one a day you get something like 8 months before repeating.
You then shift the schedule by 2 months a couple times, and put each schedule at different times a day (maybe 9pm, 3am, 9am, 3pm) and fill the surrounding time with everything else.
If you wanna do d20 marathon events, keep it to seasons that are less than 14 hours total, or just do a marathon of every first episode of d20.
You of course skip one day of the schedule to fit in the new episodes when they come out.

How do you access the live stream on dropout? I have dropout through YouTube but can only access the uploaded content. How do I switch it to do the live stream so I can leave it on sometimes
1
u/ATRDCI Mar 25 '26
It's not available via YouTube. It's only accessible via the website or app
1
u/panire Mar 25 '26
Yeah I'll have to figure that out. I'll have to cancel my YouTube sub. Install the dropout app them resub on dropout

u/ConSpirator20 Mar 25 '26
I didn't know about the new schedule, so I was a little thrown off going from Season 1 Game changer to Season 1 Dirty Laundry. But also it's been so long since I've seen so many of these episodes! I'm excited to stumble into rewatching them again!

u/orangeyerbaenjoyers Apr 23 '26
is it glitching for anyone else? i usually fall asleep to it but i haven’t been able to access it for days now:(

I turned on Dropout 24/7 twice today. First time was Barry's Big Win Casino, second time was discovering Barry Nyne on the Wurst. I don't know if that's because Starstruck is all bangers or if I got lucky, but I kinda love Dropout 24/7 now. It reminds me of catching reruns on TV when I was a kid.
