For all you guys that look back at classic tv shows through misty eyes. Good news. The TV networks are making thousands of classic TV episodes available on your PC desktop.

You can watch all the classic TV episodes of yesteryear including The Twilight Zone,The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Gunsmoke, Beverley Hillbillies, Time Tunnel and many more.

So why put these old defunct shows online? Well there is a massive interest in the old shows by nostalgic viewers and a chance to earn advertising revenue by the networks.

Advertising based Internet TV websites such as Hulu, Veoh and Joost are embracing the classics from the last 50 years of TV and you can catch shows like Bewitched and even every episode of the scifi classic time tunnel.

NBC chief exec Jeff Zucker says “We have all this library content, and we have been surprised at how much interest there is in it, frankly, if there is one person interested it — and there are streaming costs so you have to make sure you’re covering that — we have found it’s a new opportunity for our content.”

Its a win win situation as viewers can watch the classics for free, the original writers, producers and actors of the shows receive royalties.

The Hulu website offers over 3000 TV episodes, with shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Babylon 5 among the most popular. You can also catch classics like The A-Team, Miami Vice and Buck Rogers on NBC.com whilst over at CBS.com you can catch up on classics Star Trek, The Twilight Zone and many more.

Head on over to the classic TV dedicated website TV Land and catch the classics Gun smoke and The Andy Griffith Show amongst many others.

Its great news for us older TV show fans. I must just take a peek at episode 6 of Time Tunnel. What a classic.
