CBS Hosts Ad-Funded TV Series, Incl. Original Star Trek

Posted by timothy on from the whole-new-generation-can-obsess-or-ridicule dept.

eldavojohn writes "On Friday, CBS launched a TV Classics section to their ad based online service. Which means that Trekkies can now watch all three seasons of Star Trek: The Original Series online at the expense of a few commercials. Alongside this CBS is offering all of MacGyver, Twin Peaks and even three seasons of the original Twilight Zone. A side note, they seem to work perfectly fine in Linux. "

  1. This is why I need a new computer. by tjstork · · Score: 0, Redundant

    My dual Opteron is nice and all but all I have is AGP on it because I was an idiot three and a half years ago and I did not think that in a million years PC-Express would kill off AGP as fast it did, my graphics card is a wimpy GeForce 6200. What I really need is a quad processor board with a PC-Express 2 pair of slots, so I can have all sorts of multiple monitors, one of which would be devoted to Trek. Now I just have to figure out how to get my company to pay for it.
