This is BS! Bring it BACK! Roku says on Google search to add FREEVEE to watch it. It's NOT on there!

[sukastyle]

Yep! What?.. did they kill the host and can the show?!

Came here to say the same thing! Couple days ago, Why Files were here. Now they’re gone off Roku, Tubi, and Amazon altogether! Wtf?!?!

Shows come and go. The fact it also disappeared from other services means it was probably cancelled or pulled by the production company.

There is a web site and YouTube channel, but I'm not sure if it's the same thing:

Until just now I did not know it was a television series, technically. I have only ever watched it on YouTube. And the episodes are much longer there. So are they the same as the YouTube episodes anyway? Cuz there's a ton of them on his channel! I just wondered if there was a difference between a television series listed on Xfinity as being on Roku than on freebie but it's not anywhere it was removed from all channels including Amazon Prime. Before I ever knew it existed on anything like that and had seasons! Anyway hundreds of Mine YouTube go people and enjoy AJ and Hecks over there! 😁

It may have been an attempt to expand into a different media. I saw a series on Discovery that was mainly clips from a YouTube channel.

Haha. Yes the episodes on tv are the same as you tube. The good part is that they had them broken into season and in order!!!! Made it soooo much easier to watch what I wanted to! Heckle Fish would understand! I’m watching on YouTube again, but it just takes a few extra moments to find what I want. That’s it.
