TV on the Internet

A good link - TV links.
I've been not surfing these past few days and instead have been watching TV shows online with the help of this aggregator. Some of the episodes are disappearing fast, especially the ones on the Daily Motion servers. The stuff on Veoh seems to be working OK so far for me.

Sliders is something I've been watching and is more enjoyable than I remember it. The tenets of the Sliders gang (in its various permutations) seem to be that Friendship and "being there" for your mates is the most important thing in life, as well as the oft repeated "there's more to life than happiness and contentment" idea. And it is interesting how often Wade (one of the characters from the first few series) needs rescuing. Also there are more non-white characters in Sliders than in any TV series (US) that I've seen before; characters who are black or chinese not because their race is part of the plot, their race is incidental, it's refreshing. (In the episode in which America is ruled by monarchy, the king and queen of The USA are Black.)

A Little Interest in YouTube

So now my Animal Crossing fixation is waning and I am on to other things. I've never really got into YouTube, but recently I have begun spending time watching more than the one off clip. Today I watched some Prodigy videos (live stuff and music videos) and then watched some Courtney Love stuff, and from there on to some general stuff people have been putting up. It's interesting to see some of the old Prodigy stuff (like Out of Space), how they have evolved, video speaking, and in their mode of dress, nice to see dancing Keith Flint with long hair.

Suspense!

I've been listening to this Old Time radio show called Suspense (the first lot of them on archive.org), recently. Suspense (brought to you by Roma wines that's R - O - M - A, Roma wines) sometimes cheesey, sometimes inadvertently funny, but sometimes rather good (I like the episode Cabin B13). There are hundreds of episodes on archive.org, and at the moment this is most of what I listen to. I also watched a crappy (but watchable) stream of The Man Who Knew Too Much on the same site. I'm having a 30s/40s bonanza. It will probably end soon. I have little stamina for prolonged immersion.
