NBC Universal streams vintage TV from network websites

Written by Rich Fiscus @ 23 Feb 2008 11:02 User comments (3)

We reported yesterday that CBS will be making older TV series avaiable for streaming online. At the same time, NBC Universal is making a similar, but somewhat bigger move. While CBS appears to simply be looking through their vaults to find the most marketable titles for a general audience, NBC is taking a slightly different tack.

Not only are NBC's selection more varied than those offered by CBS, they're also spread across websites for a number of different channels they own. The sites for NBC, the Sci Fi Channel, Chiller, and the Sleuth Channel are all getting shows ranging from The "A-Team" and "Miami Vice" to "Kojak" and "Night Gallery." Each channel's site will offer a different selection based on its programming.

Here's the reported lineup for each website. As with most full TV shows offered for streaming from a major network they're free, but require yot to watch a short advertisement.

NBC.com: "The A-Team"; "Emergency"; "Night Gallery"; "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour"; "Miami Vice"; "Battlestar Galactica" (1978); and "Buck Rogers."

Scifi.com: "Battlestar Galactica" (1978); "Buck Rogers"; "TekWar"; and "Night Gallery."

ChillerTV.com: "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour"; "Swamp Thing"; "Tremors"; "Crow"; and "Night Gallery."

SleuthChannel.com: "Kojak"; "Miami Vice"; "Simon & Simon"; "A-Team"; and "Night Gallery."

"If you need help, you need the A-Team." What a classic, Mr T. pity's the fools that mess with him. Online tv watching is a good little thing when nothing is on the regular tube.

I wouldn't mind a short advertisement if I was able to see Buck Rogers again for free!
