They&#8217;ll be doing things a bit differently though by airing classic (old?) TV shows for free download with commercials.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The shows include blasts from the past such as Growing Pains, F Troop, Babylon V and Welcome Back, Kotter. They will be shown free, on demand, with four 15-second commercials per episode on AOL.com in the USA.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You&#8217;ll need to use a special AOL video player that streams the show so you&#8217;re still limited to what you can do with it. You won&#8217;t be able to move the video anywhere (TV, portable player), but at least you&#8217;re not paying $1.99 for it. I&#8217;ll be interested to see how this special video player works. I&#8217;m guessing I won&#8217;t be able to skip over the 4 15-second comercials per episode. At least the content they&#8217;re delivering is a little more fresh. I mean fresh in the sense that it&#8217;s much more stale. The shows they&#8217;re delivering have been off the air for so long that it&#8217;s content that most peopel have either never seen or it&#8217;s been so long since they&#8217;ve seen it that it seems brand new. It&#8217;s not something that you can set your Tivo to record for you. <\/p>\n<p>This looks to be another tiny step in the right direction, but this whole internet delivery thing still has a ways to go before it&#8217;s going to beat the control that I have with something recorded on my DVR or downloaded from one of the more shady areas of the &#8216;net&#8230; and my guess is they&#8217;ll probably never get there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It looks like the big three (ABC, CBS, NBC) aren&#8217;t the only networks jumping on the internet delivered TV bandwagon.
