NBC and CBS offer vintage TV episodes online
According to Newsday, NBC and CBS have just announced free streams of vintage TV episodes on their Web sites.
NBC.com's "The Way Back Wednesdays" will show: "Miami Vice," "Emergency," "Buck Rogers" and "The A-Team
NBC-owned cable channel sites SciFi.com. ChillerTV.com and SleuthChannel.com plan to start vintage streaming this month with: "Tek War," "Night Gallery", "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour", "Swamp Thing," "Kojak" and "Simon & Simon".
CBS Television Classics will include: "The Twilight Zone," "Hawaii Five-O," "MacGyver," "Star Trek" and "Melrose Place."
They will all have commercials.
NBC's Way Back Wednesday streams are not yet online. CBS' Television Classics are already available. But when I click on play, I get a voice message saying "This content is currently unavailable". So I'm not sure if that's because I'm trying to watch from Europe or if there is a problem this morning. Will try again later.
