The last two days have shown 10 episodes of Fox Family Double Dare previously available for purchase on iTunes and Amazon, but currently unavailable on Paramount Plus.
The block today started with the first-taped episode of 1992 Family Double Dare. Airing right now is the final 1988 episode, with the Chews vs. Wilfrids, which I don't believe has aired or been officially released since its first go-round.
EDIT: Afterward, the first 1988 FDD, the first 1990 FDD and 1990 episode 5, Kandy Kanes vs. Holders, streamed. All have been available in iTunes/Amazon packages.
Four of today's episodes (one from '88, two from 1990 and one from 1992) have been released in digital packs. The fifth episode, Odd Squad vs. Farvergnügens from 1990, hasn't been released digitally.

Today, the channel started the FDD block by running the hour-long 1993 Tournament of Champions. After going to commercial after round one of the championship match, three-fourths of the length of the episode, the stream began 1988's Kudla vs. Stern.

The one following that was Hard Rockers/Hoosier Hot Shots, which was not released digitally but was rerun on The Splat in 2016. The last two, Running Reds/Blue Flames and No Clue Crew/Northboro Road Runners, are available on iTunes & Prime.

The Pluto channel is very, VERY slow about adding new FDD episodes into the rotation, but we got at least one new one this week; 1992's Polar Bears vs. Dare Devils. This episode is not one of the ones available to purchase on iTunes/Prime.

I noticed they're doing better with "Legends". The channel it used to be on aired the same few from Season 1 in a constant loop, but now seeing more of the later episodes.

I've known about this for a while but couldn't say anything until now. Starting in July (just after midnight on July 1 to be exact), the WBTV Funny Favorites channel on Amazon Prime will have the entire first season (1983-84) of Love Connection in their rotation.

Caught an episode this afternoon which had a female contestant who was 51.  Then realized if she's still kicking, she'd be pushing 95 now.

Wait....Wha???.

Stupid question about the Love Connection episodes: Are they free or do you have to pay for them?

Looks like it's through the Freevee app, so no charge.

Both Prime and Plex currently offer a "BBC Game Shows" channel which features marathons of recent (last 10 years or so) Beeb games. The channel is currently airing a marathon of "The Edge," a 2015 show that combines quiz with bowling. I've also seen episodes of "The Answer Run," "Beat the Pack" and "The Boss" on this channel in recent days. BBC Game Shows also airs episodes of the long-running "Bargain Hunt," the antiquing-and-auction show that has a game element.

Not for long. Amazon intends to shut down Freevee by the end of the year
