AOL to Webcast old TV shows

And continuing on a TV theme today, AOL actually has a good idea.

Grandma’s favorite floundering ISP has struck a deal with Warner Bros. to Webcast 300 episodes a month of 100 classic TV series, beginning in January.

Now, this is the part we don’t understand, from the USA Today article:

“The shows include blasts from the past such as Growing Pains, F Troop, Babylon V and Welcome Back, Kotter.”

We’re not sure if we’d put any of those into the “classic” TV category. F-Troop maybe…

Anyway, the “classic” shows will be shown free, on demand, with four 15-second commercials per episode on AOL.com in the USA.
