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).

Watcher has a few shows that are produced and aired like TV shows.

Dropout has two game shows that are great. Game Changer, where the rules of the game change every episode, and Um, Actually; a kind of pop culture trivia game where your answer must begin with "Um, actually..." They tend to have guests well known from around the Internet like Adam Conover and Matt Mercer.

I'll second that recommendation for Dropout, but also add that, if you can, it's really worth throwing them $60 a year for a subscription. They put out so much fantastic content (there's also Make Some Noise, Don't Laugh News, Very Important People, and all of their D&D stuff).

I would also consider getting a Nebula subscription. There are some absolutely amazing content creators on Nebula producing documentary style TV shows about engineering, history, law, urban planning, writing, video games, TV & film, etc, etc. Nebula is all creator owned, so your subscription goes straight to the people making the media you watch.
