New Site Aggregates TV Show Links

RerunCentral.com has launched with a mission to provide entertainment consumers an easy route to discovering TV shows of the 20th century to watch online. The site presents pre-screened links to TV shows watchable at popular Internet destinations such as Hulu, Crackle and TVLand. Users then click to the exact location of legal studio-produced online videos which can be instantly streamed and are often free.

RerunCentral.com presents this guide in a layout that it says “gives users the most information with the fewest clicks.” Show titles can be browsed or found by a fuzzy search engine that tolerates misspellings. Historic primetime television schedules from the 1940s through 1990s are also presented, giving users the chance to remember a specific night of programming from the era of only a few broadcast networks. The schedules are browsable by year, and segmented by weekday and by network.

RerunCentral.com focuses exclusively on programming of 20th century network primetime broadcast television, and presents links to thousands of episodes of more than 300 TV series.

“Web users have increasing opportunity to view a wide variety of TV shows online,” explains Bob Poulsen, president of RerunCentral.com, “and yet locating a desired show to watch can be challenging. RerunCentral.com has assembled and verified links to hundreds of TV series of the 20th century that are watchable on demand, from Ed Sullivan to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Many of the individual episodes are shown with sponsored commercial breaks, and thus are available for users to view free. Others can be purchased on a per-episode basis for a little as 99 cents. And still others, such as those at Internet Archive, are in the public domain and can be viewed uninterrupted and even saved to the viewer’s computer. And because streaming TV choices will continue to grow, RerunCentral.com plans to grow and remain an important and authoritative resource for TV fans.”

To enjoy the highest definition, and to access many bonus features, RerunCentral.com also gives users links to buy their favorite shows on DVD. The DVD releases are verified and displayed in groups of entire series collections, season sets, and special configurations. Over 2,400 DVD products of more than 500 TV series are available for purchase, and images of most DVD package covers are shown. RerunCentral.com currently documents primetime network shows originally broadcast from 1948 to 1999, and all known links to studio-authorized online content and available DVDs are displayed.
