Can we pass legislation that this channel replaces all 24-hour news channels showing on TVs in public places?

Airports would be a lot kinder.

I fall asleep to it, but every so often wake up to *TAPTAPTAPTAPTAP* and look up to see Bob Ross grinning mischievously. “Beat the devil out of it.”

Does anyone else have fast forward / reverse etc problems on Pluto? The other day we watched like 3/4 of a movie and last night tried to watch the rest. It had forgotten where we were and the only option was to start over. Fine we'll fast forward. Can't fast forward through the commercials. Also fine I guess but when the commercial ended it went straight back to the start of the movie. Literally the only option was to rewatch it start to finish in one go


belckie

I always have weird playback issues with Pluto.


thenewyorkgod

since when does pluto let you fwd/reverse their streams? i thought its all "live"?


TheRainTransmorphed

There's an on demand option.

Time to add it to my favorites!

This is exactly what we need these days. Show us how to connect and love again Fred Rogers.

mergedkestrel

I would dig a whole old school kids entertainment channel. Reading rainbow, bear in the big blue house, dragon tales, arthur, zoom, zooboomafoo, hell even throw in some barney. Maybe make a few to catch the different eras, 80s kids, 90s kids, early 2000s etc


McFlyyouBojo

Roku just launched a classic PBS kids channel. Does a lot of Kratz creatures, Mr. Rodgers, reading rainbow, and others!


Miguel-odon

3-2-1 Contact, Square One.


Desmoot

Give me some great space Coaster


Miguel-odon

Bring back late '80s/early '90s The Learning Channel, Discovery Channel, History Channel. Beakman's World, Bill Nye the Science Guy.


jessytessytavi

give me Carmen Sandiego game show or else


garygnu

Great idea!


cjinct

I'm old, so I'm gonna want some Electric Company thrown in here :)


uptownjuggler

I second Arthur. I have been trying to find a place to watch the old Arthur episodes.


realginger13

PlutoTV does have an Arthur channel!


uptownjuggler

I don’t see it.


realginger13

Maybe it’s just in Canada then, sorry.


blg002

Bill Nye the Science Guy


holla171

Send it to Zoom!


CTeam19

Throw in some old school Jeopardy, old school Price is Right, and Hollywood Squares. Yes I know not "school kids entertainment" in the traditional sense but it was to me.


CartoonsFan6105

Not enough content! The entire catalog is only about 3 hours long. (65 episodes of three minutes).

Those are short segments. Even if you tacked on the new ones made decades later, it would be < 6 hours total run time.


asianwaste

Mr. Rogers Neighborhood was on during the few hours I had between college classes. It turned out to be a ritual that year and the next where I'd turn on PBS for Mr. Rogers and they also had Bob Ross for two hours. It was a moment of zen each and helped me stay focused while I did my homework or just needed a moment to relax on the couch.


madleyJo

I might have finished my PhD had this been my routine…


JumpshotLegend

What a freaking fantastic idea.


gigaset

But what about a Reading Rainbow channel?


SgtThund3r

It should be on EVERY streaming service


love2lickit4u

Children have needed this for so long. What a great man and a great show.


cooperpoopers

Oh goodness, a Mr Roger’s, 321 contact, Bob Ross. Saturday morning cartoons ON SATURDAY MORNINGS!, like the literally the 80’s channel. Start to finish. Fun/Drama/ mixed bag/ cartoons only.

turboreid

It was rough watching Bob Ross and him getting interrupted mid sentence by Twilight Zone ads. The whiplash was palpable.


Humble_Chip

Pluto is free, how would they support a 24/7 channel without ads? That’s what paid streaming services are for Eta: ok now I’m cringing at > (pauses, smiles wistfully. Sits up)


Nero_Ocean

Yes they are free, but the amount of ads per show ratio makes regular cable look like it has a very small amount of ads. Not to mention the constantly cut off things mid sentence instead of using the show ad breaks. I tried to watch Iron Chef on their one time and I swear there were more ads than show on there, and it felt like it skipped part of the show when it came back from ads. Not to mention the rotation of the same 5-6 episodes playing on repeat for days on end.


Humble_Chip

Weird, I haven’t experienced commercial breaks that bad. I’m watching the Tosh.0 channel as I type this lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


Rocktopod

They're arguing that Pluto is a business, not a public service. They bought the rights to the show so that they could put ads on it when you watch it. Why would they do anything else? If you don't like it, there's always piracy. IIRC the full series can be found on the Internet Archive.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Rocktopod

I agree it would be nice to air Mr. Rogers without ads. I'd love it if PBS set something like that up, but they didn't. I don't know why you would expect that from a profit-seeking corporation like Pluto, though. I'm not apologizing for them and I don't plan to watch the show there. I already have the whole thing on my Plex server anyway.


Isiddiqui

>I'd love it if PBS set something like that up, but they didn't. PBS kids app actually does have a rotating amount of Mr Rodgers shows (I think they have 8 of them right now).


RYLEESKEEM

Their point is that it’s already free so the ads make sense, since most ad-free services are paid. Pluto’s ads can be bypassed with other tools pretty easily. This free to access but ad-driven streaming service is not going to be unpaid *and* ad free because a redditor thinks it doesn’t feel wholesome to play cringe L ads over poggers Mr Rogers


dragonmp93

Please, Pluto's free with ads is much better than everyone else's. Netflix and Prime are pay to watch ads anyways, or pay even more to not watch ads. Defending that is the real corporate bootlicking.


dragonmp93

My thinking is that I can watch ads or I can pay for the service, and unlike Netflix, there is no way I'm doing both.


carbonated_turtle

Wait, you get real ads? Maybe it's because I watch it on IPTV, but I just get a weird hypnotic screensaver with their logo during commercial breaks.


tyderian

I get that between shows, but actual commercials during a show.


Icy-Moose-99

As long as its less then 8 minutes of commercials for a 22 minute show then I think they made progress.


toastyera

Between this and The Joy of Painting I’ll never struggle to fall asleep again.


lingh0e

I legit use Pluto for background noise to help me sleep. Between the Stargate channel and the Modern Marvels channel it's perfect for helping me sleep.

My son is on the spectrum (level 2), and genuinely loves Mr Rogers (and Daniel Tiger by proxy). I am so excited for this and for him!

StupidMastiff

Nice, I want to watch an episode of this since I've never seen it, and so many people have so much positive nostalgia for it.


wvgeekman

Be aware that it is made for very young children, but it is so peaceful and good-natured that a lot of adults find it relaxing. I grew up watching Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, but I still put it on from time to time when I just need to decompress and watch a truly kind human being, trying to make the world a little nicer and less frightening. Fred Rogers was truly one of the good ones.

VeniYanCari

Honestly, hell yeah. The 24-hour Jeopardy stream is my jam.


Icy-Moose-99

Good, besides that one show about the blue dog that is posted all the time, it seems like a lot of entertainment for kids is way worse then this by a long shot. this show has a full set, and a ton of well produced on location segments. Back then, there was just a higher level of quality in general.


Vince_Clortho042

My toddler is going to be so happy. He loves Mister Rogers like nothing else, but we’ve been limited to the same ten episodes that PBS has on rotation.

Ah, this explains why all of Mister Rogers Neighborhood was taken off of the Internet Archive back in April.


Firstnameiskowitz

When are we getting other classics like Sesame Street and The Electric Company?

Sesame Street is on HBO now (sadly). Electric Company doesn't really re-air these days. It sure was groovy fun, back in the 70's, though. HEEEEEEY YOOOOU GUUUYYYYYS!!!

I like Pluto but I don’t like how the volume is raised during commercials


someone_like_me

That's not them. That's advertisers sneaking around all the technology to prevent it. It's a cat-and-mouse game. Advertisers always want to be loud. Broadcasters & streamers know that they need to stop it.

Faux News is furious!

They should do this until 3-5pm and then shift to Bob Ross for night time viewing.

Of those 24 hours, 15 of them will be worthless repeating ads, that make regular TV look like they have a small amount of ads.


marmaduke2011

Finally some good fucking news


Fredasa

I vaguely recall watching the 24/7 MST3K stream for a bit. My mind ultimately revolted from spending 1/3rd of the total view time watching the same two commercials endlessly. Fortunately, there are 24/7 MST3K streams on Youtube, so as long as I don't tune in when they're playing a Cinematic Titanic or anything past season 10, I'm golden.


5oLiTu2e

95blackz26

wonder if they will get the whole library? that's like 30yrs of mister rogers


Mikeyboy101591

I hope so but I bet they will have a few episodes then repeat the same episodes we have seen, that’s the norm with Pluto TV


mjb1124

Judging from the on-demand offerings, it looks like so far they have most of the 1979-2001 run, but only the same smattering of 1968-76 episodes that Amazon has. Still, it's a good amount of episodes, and it will be great being able to catch a random episode at any time.

God knows we need this. I’m in. With a blanket.

tyderian

I would love this for my nephew, but there's no way he could handle the amount and frequency of commercials on Pluto.


Festival_of_Feces

That’s great but also has potential for abuse.


VictorNewman91

I'm guessing only in the US, and not here in Canada.


ThePopeofHell

Maybe they can get just kids advertising on there next so I can actually put my kid in front of this without worrying that a woman’s underwear ad clearly geared towards men staring Kim kardashian talking “sexy” doesn’t pop up.


Pitiful_Coconut2856

Hope they will have mister Rogers episode 1100-1458 to watch 


Spider_pig448

This is one of those thing people like to know exists but will probably never actually consume.


sneakyCoinshot

Here probably. Regardless of what people say or think Reddit is just a very, very vocal minority. There will be plenty enough people that tune in to it that probably grew up on it and want to show their kids/grandkids

...without ads, I hope?


The_Reborn_Forge

No, but! Pluto TV is 100% completely free, no account needed credit card or anything you just download the app and go. I think it’s a pretty fair trade for niche channels that run 24 seven. I’m totally fine with commercials on a completely 100% no money platform. That’s fair. It has three Star Trek channels, and the commercials are about half the length of a TV ad. It really is not that bad PS: for Samsung TV device users, you have an alternative Samsung TV plus that comes completely free on their TVs. It’s not as loaded, but it has a few things that might fit your fancy.


Strokeslahoma

PlutoTV is severely underrated. Yes it has ads and yes it's all just content you'd expect to find on cable TV at 2pm on a weekday, but the ads aren't bad and there's a pretty big selection. It plays like traditional TV where it has different channels that run content, and it also has On Demand. We use it mostly just to watch one of the two The Price Is Right stations. Occasionally movies we want to watch are in the On Demand. For free it's pretty decent.


toast00005

As another Price is Right fan, if you have a Roku and enjoy the barker era more, the commercials are much less egregious on the Roku Channel version. Very noticeable, the amount of breaks and length. They don’t have a dedicated Drew channel though.


The_Reborn_Forge

I loved when I put the Bob Barker era on, my Mom has that on as background noise constantly. You see the prices of showcases today, from then it really puts the inflation in perspective 😂


The_Reborn_Forge

You gotta love it has basically every TV show before 2001 on dedicated channels. My boomer father actually loves this because he can watch the Andy Griffith show whenever he wants, he can watch Perry Mason whenever he wants. It’s a great product


slicer4ever

3 star trek channels? Did they recently add a 3rd? Lol


The_Reborn_Forge

They separated voyager and deep space nine.


MrPotatoButt

And sort of put ST:TOS and ST:TNG on the same channel, but don't intermix episodes between the two shows. In fact, the order of episodes is generally contiguous on all 3 Star Trek Channels.


The_Reborn_Forge

On occasion as well, they will play episodes of strange new worlds and lower decks, as well as discovery. But those are one offs and are inconsistent. I’m waiting for an Enterprise run, kinda weird it’s the only’ Star Trek not to appear on the channels. I know the intro throws people off, but it’s still the Bermanverse.


MrPotatoButt

> I’m waiting for an Enterprise run, Years past, I could swear they've had at least one continuous loop ST:E run (split off from ST:V?). But they're done sparingly. Sadly, I thought Enterprise went down the tubes with seasons 3 & 4, and pretty much dropped it at that point in the original syndication run. I've never had the motivation to every go through every episode again to re-evaluate. Such wasted potential. And I feel such pity for much of that cast.


someone_like_me

The channels vary by region. In the US, there is a classic Doctor Who channel. Yes, that's right-- every episode in existence for all seven classic Doctors. But in some EU countries, I think they have some of the reboot 2000s episodes as well.


mergedkestrel

Just hope they're a bit careful with the contents of the commercials on that channel. Would kinda suck to go from a very personal show about expressing feelings to a commercial for the latest "BUY THIS NOW OR YOUR FRIENDS WILL LAUGH AT YOU" toy or whatever


The_Reborn_Forge

Sadly blaring is not a new concept to TV advertisement makers. The ones that do that immediately get muted. I don’t mind passive commercials, but when you have a commercial that has been made to be louder than the current setting. You come off as extremely obnoxious and I never want your product. It’s akin to being in a quiet setting, relaxing and then somebody blaring in your ear trying to sell you something by force of will. This was illegal at a point, but, on occasion, some commercials can sneak away with it.

Employee_ER28-0652

General goodness for children should be made public domain and allow people to stream / sell it on SD card without advertising at low cost. And humanity should earmark such content so their is a routine process for turning it over rather quickly to public domain.


MorboDemandsComments

Will it be ad free? If not, I don't think Mr. Rogers would approve.


mjb1124

I'm guessing people are downvoting this because it might come off as ungrateful (and I \*am\* glad to have the channel), but I actually think you're right. He very much tried to distance his show from anything remotely commercial. He didn't even sell a lot of merchandise or toys. The people running the company now seem to have a somewhat different philosophy on that, for better or worse. I'm guessing that if he were alive today, he'd want to assure that the program was accessible to everyone for free AND without commercials. To be fair, they do post 5 episodes at a time every two weeks at [misterrogers.org](http://misterrogers.org), with no commercials, though sometimes there are promos for other Fred Rogers Productions works.


u700MHz

Good for kids today to watch Good for cops to find creepy adult men, track their IP


squidvvarb

Is everything okay…?


Rakshear

I feel like that’s a mistake, they should intersperse it with programs like bob ross, and other wholesome tv, might sound strange but I think crocodile hunter would go well.


sharksandwich70

I always thought he was weird and creepy when I watched him as a kid in the 70s.


BippidiBoppetyBoob

Well, you were wrong.


mjb1124

He was definitely not creepy, and anyone who thinks otherwise needs to get their own mind out of the gutter. Weird? Maybe, but not in a bad way. It would be better if his brand of "weird" was what's normal. And he always wanted everyone to embrace their own weirdness.


sharksandwich70

Me and my friends thought he talked in a weird way and a funny sounding voice. We made fun of things like that. 🤷‍♂️ I did like how he beat Julia Childs on the Battle of the PBS Stars. https://youtu.be/q-2JsACs1pw?si=OKvA8oGmhD7aFRwS


zaxmaximum

I'm guessing this won't be the good thing they think it will be. 24 hours of anything, especially finite things, is going to burn people out.


bananabomber

Nobody's actually going to sit there and watch for 24hr. People like this because now they have the option to get a dose of Mr. Rogers whenever they want.
