Old TV Shows on YouTube

We live in a world where TV Land shows reality programming in lieu of 100% old TV shows. What’s a person interested in old TV shows to do?

Surprisingly the answer is, “Watch them on YouTube.”

The collection isn’t comprehensive, but quite reasonable. Lots of Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie are there, along with “classics” like Jericho and 90210. The experience is more like Hulu than traditional YouTube, with commercial breaks throughout.

Perfect? Naah. But it’s heartening to think that in the mid-90s we were constrained to small, probably-not-legal clips of old TV shows on the web and now we’ve got the real deal.

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
