From what I can find that doesn’t look like good news. I longed for them to get the app together, but from their website, It’s Real Good TV is just a 24/7 digital channel. So you wouldn’t be able to watch the show as you currently do streaming, just based on what it airs on the network. 

I think it will be set up to watch “on demand.”

The e-mail does say all available episodes will be there on demand.

Maybe I'm wrong but it seems to me that the issues with WTD had more to do with human choices and not so much the platform's performance. The delay of the final years' episodes due the pandemic, the lack of expansion with the originally promised features, the mislabeled episode dates, likely lacking in hoped-for number of subscribers....I think they overestimated the audience that would pay for it. Drawing an audience watching a classic soap on a channel for free vs. paying even a small fee to essentially binge one show (and partake of the other features that didn't come to be), plus when people finish the series they likely wouldn't renew...they probably should have done originally what they're doing now. I don't know how interactive or community-involved the site will be or whether it will be essentially just a collection of streams and on-demand content. It keeps feeling like they want to aim high but the result doesn't quite make it.

I just wish they would release more of the bonus materials of the interview sessions taken in NYC last January - just before the pandemic hit. It's been over a year - what are they waiting for?

Even the potential appeal/value of cast interviews on the app has diminished with Locher's interviews available for free on youtube.

I appreciate what they did in the first place just by offering the show on demand. It just seems they keep doing things sort of half-baked, things left unfinished or neglected, including the general Retro TV site itself. It just makes me confused about how committed and capable they are.

@applcin, you hit the nail right on the head.

Some quality control would have helped re episodes being out-of-order, containing the wrong synopsis, etc. but I doubt they have a large enough staff to do that.

I never found the site user-friendly, to be honest.

Retro TV to Air the Premiere Episode of 'The Doctors' for First Time in 58 Years | Michael Fairman TV

Retro TV has a livestream on their website, so I will try to watch that debut episode in real-time.

It will air on Retro on the 58th anniversary of the show's debut. Of course, that's also the 58th anniversary of GH.

The premiere episode 'Whatsoever House I Enter'

Dr Scott (Jock Gaynor) performs a critical operation on a 7 yr old girl.
