Cliche, but Gamechanger. Last season in particular was just incredible. Favourite episode is probably the one where they'd be doing assignments through the year (forgot the name). I love MSN too though. Same with VIP. I enjoy Gastronauts to a lesser extent. Really depends on the guest. Same for Smartypants and Crowd Control. Dirty Laundry is good background noise.

My favorite DropOut show is "Play it by Ear".

There's not enough of it yet, but I re-listen to old episodes of their "Off Book: The Improvised Musical Podcast" to tide me over between seasons.

If I had to pick a favorite episode, it would still be from the Podcast, but the show keeps getting better.

Obviously Game changer is the best game show on any network. The latest surprise season bonus finale is my current favorite, followed by the other escape room episodes and of course "Yes or No".

By total hours, I guess Dimension 20 is my favorite.

A tip for the D20 curious: start with more recent series, or one of the self contained live shows.

I think my favourite D20 is now tied between Never Stop Blowing Up and Mentopolis. Cloudward Ho is working for me, as well.

Um Actually, Dirty Laundry and Gastronauts deserve a shout out for helping get me through doing the dishes and laundry.

I forget sometimes that there isn't anyone else really doing Um Actually with real nerd cred (that I have found. Recommendations welcome). I feel spoiled by it.

Gastronauts feels like it could become my favorite cooking show, once they dial in their unique balance of silliness and earnest food appreciation.

I wish Smarty Pants seasons were a bit more frequent. It's such a nice showcase to discover new comedians.

It's mostly just Game Changer that keeps the subscription up for me. Some of the other shows are OK but nothing that I would miss if I unsubscribed. I did like Total Forgiveness too. Breaking News stuff was fun for a few episodes until it got repetitive, same for Smarty Pants. Um, Actually is alright for background noise.

D20 looks fun but I've never played DnD and haven't tried to watch it yet. I don't get the appeal of Make Some Noise (or impression humor in general).

Not sure what I would pick as my favorite Game Changer episode. Maybe the Bingo one. The lie detector episode also holds up pretty well for a pilot.

Rulette from the last Gamechanger for sure. Crowd Control a close second but man I hope they manage to tighten up the spin off for season 2!

Skipping over Noise Boys/Make Some Noise which is obviously beautiful and perfect, the best overall GC episode is probably Sam Says.

Excited to see what they come up with next season! This one just gone had a lot of production but a bit less zing!

I still can't really handle D20 which is ironic as I listen to actual plays a lot.

Really like Very Important People, my fave episode of that is probably Jordache or Greg and Charlotte Excitement.

Game Changer is still my favourite, it's why I came to the platform and found everything else. (I didn't get into D20 at all until quite a bit later honestly.)

There are three good candidates for top episode from the last season -- the first one and the last one for sure, but I think maybe the one that takes it for me is Rulette.

If I may honourable mention, I did not really expect to enjoy Gastronauts as much as I did, and it is genuinely so much fun. I'd be hard pressed to single out a top ep honestly.

I loved episode Rulette from Game Changer! I can definitely see them making it an annual or biannual special.

I've watched the first episode of Gastronauts and found it to be alright. Not something I was crazy about binge-watching. But I'm glad that Dropout has a show centered around food, as it's a common show type people love to watch. =)
