80s Nighttime Soaps on Pluto TV

[Ray_Krebbs]

I just noticed the free streaming app Pluto TV has a new Dynasty channel that plays it around the clock. Wouldn't it be great if Dallas, Falcon Crest and Knots Landing came over to there?

Dallas and Falcon Crest are on Freevee.

 

[Ray_Krebbs]

Is it a live stream, though? I kind of like watching as though it were airing on a channel. I'm just weird in that way lol.

 

[cws]

No it isn't live stream. All of the episodes are there "on demand".

 

[Rove]

Dallas and Falcon Crest are on Freevee.

Unfortunately Freevee is not available in Australia. Yes I'm aware of those VPN's but I'm now led to believe those services are not up to standard like they use to be.

Unlikely they'll end up on Pluto TV since it's owned by Paramount (=Viacom/CBS), who owns the majority of the Aaron Spelling library. Hence Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place and now Dynasty.

I use Hola. It's seems to work ok for me.

Dynasty is on Pluto in Australia, too, but I'm pretty sure it's only a live stream. I really don't want to drop in in the middle of some random episode.

Ah, Knots Landing left out again.

In the U.S. Dynasty is on live TV,but it's also on demand. All of the episodes are there.

I. too prefer the "broadcast" type model Pluto uses rather than onDemand. It's what I grew up with. But I'm not going to stay up 24 hours straight and binge-watch, either.

What I would prefer to see eventually (if they can do the necessary deals) is for Pluto to have a "1980s Nighttime Soap Channel" that would alternate showing Dynasty and the other three big soaps (and maybe even a few other, lesser-knowns) in much the same way they created other "theme" channels rather than having four separate channels that service only one program each.

They should do one worldwide easy accessible 80s Primetime Soap Channel for Dallas, Knots, Dynasty, The Colbys, Falcon Crest and Flamingo Road, all remastered in HD.
And air all those in a row and original air date order for like 5.99$ per month, but without commercials.

That would be such a dream come true and I'd NEVER leave the house again, folks!

And air all those in a row and original air date order

Pluto started out airing Dynasty in order, but in the past few weeks I've caught them jumping around somewhat, like being in mid-S6 and then suddenly going to mid-S3 and continuing through. They will continue airing it in episodic order, but have been less "militant" about airing it all in a loop as they were. Not sure what compels them to suddenly shift, but they've done it at least three times that I've noticed. I don't think programmers fully grasp how important that "correct order" means to viewers when airing serialized content.

That's why I gave up on it.

Dynasty is owned by Paramount....that would be the reason for it being on Pluto.

I wouldn't mind that. A regular schedule with one episode per week like the old days.
