 I grew up watching Growing Pains, Perfect Strangers, and Lois and Clark. Those were the days when TV was actually worth watching. It seems sitcoms can't outlive reality TV shows anymore, which is really sad. But when I found that a Web-only TV channel is streaming my old favorite shows for free, I was all about it.
AOL and Warner Brothers have teamed up to offer PC users, In2TV. The service offers 30 full-length classic TV shows in full screen, and all you need is Windows XP, Windows Media Player 10, Macromedia's Flash Player 8, and Internet Explorer 6 to watch them. Among the many features of the service are interactive trivia games and theme-song karaoke (Welcome Back, Kotter's theme song would be cool to sing-a-long to).
In the future, the companies hope to add more TV shows. (I'm hoping to see Alf and Saved By The Bell.)
PC Magazine took a hard look at In2TV. Find out how they rated the service.

I tried it out, it works well over our corporate broadband (I wonder when they're going to catch on and start filtering and downramp the throughput). I like that they got Wonder Woman (Lynda Carter, schwing!) and the geekfest that is Babylon 5. Pinky & the Brain is a good start, but we want Animaniacs please! Narf!

I have been told that AOL Television is the place to watch any television you want. So I decided to try it.
