AOL and WB to Offer Vintage TV Free and On-Demand

In my humble opinion, you can never get too much "Welcome Back Kotter". According to MSNBC:

America Online and Warner Bros. Domestic Cable Distribution are launching a broadband network that will give a new lease on life to a slew of vintage TV series.
Dubbed “In2TV,” the network will serve up “Welcome Back Kotter,” “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman,” “Pinky and the Brain” and “Growing Pains” among a host of other Warner-owned shows that viewers can watch in their entirety, for free and on-demand, beginning in January.

The article continues:

In2TV’s initial six channels are LOL TV, featuring such shows as “Kotter,” “Chico and the Man” and “Perfect Strangers”; Dramarama TV, showcasing such series as “Sisters,” “Falcon Crest,” “Spenser: For Hire” and “Eight is Enough”; Toontopia TV, with “Freakazoid,” “Brain,” “Histeria!,” “The New Adventures of Batman” and other animated series; Heroes and Horrors TV, a home for “Lois & Clark,” “Babylon 5,” “Wonder Woman” and more; Rush TV, featuring such shows as “La Femme Nikita,” “Kung Fu” and “The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.”; and Vintage TV, a showcase for “Growing Pains,” “Alice,” “F Troop,” “Maverick” and other classics.

Where the heck is "ALF"? Oh well, there's still some decent shows coming. We'll keep an eye on the service and let you know when it's live.
