YouTube Adds Full-Length Television Shows 197

Posted by timothy on Monday October 13, 2008 @07:26AM from the what-about-magnum-pi-and-square-pegs? dept.

thefickler writes "YouTube has moved to put full-length television shows on its site for the first time. Historically, YouTube has hosted a bewildering and attractive variety of video clips, the vast majority of which have been under ten minutes in length. YouTube has announced that it had finalized a deal with CBS to offer shows such as Star Trek, MacGyver, Beverly Hills 90210, and The Young and the Restless. I can't wait to watch The Young and the Restless!"

Wait a sec, you're calling MacGyver "garbage" on a nerd website?

I mean, having the full-length video available is fine in theory, but watching two large pixels have a buzz-saw competition instead of a dialog isn't really all that interesting.

Does anyone seriously want to watch full length TV shows in a tiny box in their browser in crumby YouTube quality?!
What else can you do during your boss' lunch time?

Thank god. No more having to watch the old episodes through a hacked together cable decoder box that I made out of a paperclip, some tin foil and two bits of shoe lace.

However, seeing as though they will be showing MacGyver, Google will only have a paper clip, post-it notes, and 4 bullet casings to complete the objective.

But the 90210 characters were so compelling! There was that handsome dude with the sideburns, and that other handsome dude with the slightly pointier sideburns, and that ditsy blond chic, and that other ditsy blond chick.
How could you not love a show with rich, beautiful people whining about how tough their lives are?

I know! It's not like they've had much time to prepare, what with ARPANET's unexpected arrival in 2001 and the advent of the web browser shortly after in 2005! Why, I just remember back in late '07 when AOL was in its prime and nobody thought broadband would ever come into play..

Well theres plenty of scarcity over here. Theres practically no oil in my backyard at all! With such a rich lack of resources, I'm happy to share the scarcity with you.
You can come around tommorow if you like, bring a big oil tanker. I'll pump the oil out and you can have a whole damn tanker of scarcity! No charge!

You mean living here is actually good for something other than threatening to move to Canada? Sweet.
