In2TV
AOL’s In2TV claims the largest selection of free TV shows on the Web.
You won’t find this season’s latest releases, but you’re bound to see
memorable favorites. There are episodes of Gilligan’s Island, Welcome
Back Kotter, Babylon 5, The Ben Stiller Show and more. There also is a
mix of childhood favorites like Rocky and Bullwinkle, The Jetsons and
Looney Tunes.

Yahoo! TV
Yahoo!’s new site sets out to be the ultimate TV watcher’s companion.
To start, it features schedules for broadcast and premium programming.
You can watch preview or summary clips of the latest shows. If you
have a TiVo, you can schedule recordings from the site. You also can
join the Yahoo! TV community and rate individual series episodes.

Link TV
Link TV is an original online source of documentaries and news. Many
of the available programs focus on foreign cultures and political and
environmental issues. The site relies on donations and encourages
activism in environmental organizations.

TV Land
TV Land is dedicated to the TV shows of yesteryear. Revel in memorable
scenes from MASH, Get Smart, I Love Lucy, All in the Family, The Odd
Couple and more. You can also watch recent interviews with the stars
for their insights. One of the real gems on the site is the
Retromercials section. TV commercials do not age well, but they
certainly become interesting and funny. Be sure to catch the "Where’s
the Beef?" commercial.

Download free moviesYou’ve just laid out the scratch for a new 42" HDTV, hooked up surround sound speakers, and you’re ready to tuck into a bowl of popcorn. Now all you need are some movies. Well, you’ve come to the right place.
Here are five great Web sites where you can legally download free movies and burn them to a DVD to watch with your sweetie, family, and friends this weekend.
The Internet Archive – This is the motherlode for all kinds of free media (it’s even got video games). The Archive has loads of old movies, foreign films, documentaries, and more. There’s even a couple of movies about ice cream (hey, we just blog about this stuff — we can’t explain it either).
http://www.archive.org/index.php
Emol – If comedy and cartoons are what you’re after, Emol.org is the place to go. Here’s where you’ll find Charlie Chaplin, The Three Stooges, Bugs Bunny, and Popeye.
http://emol.org/
AngryAlien – Just because none of these sites are likely to have the latest box office blockbuster available, that doesn’t mean you can’t still watch Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, or Star Wars. In less than 30 seconds. Acted out by bunnies.
http://www.angryalien.com/
PublicDomainTorrents – Head here for B-movies "Like Attack of the Giant Leeches", "Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter" (wonder what that love child looks like?), and "Track of the Moon Beast". On the other hand, you’ll also find "Night of the Living Dead" on this site — so it’s not all bad.
http://www.publicdomaintorrents.com/
AtomFilms – There are some very creative films on this site made up of mostly user-created content. AtomFilms is a service of MTV Networks that serves up content to mobile phones and Web sites, but since they’re partnered with Comedy Central and Spike TV there are a few gems on here if you poke around a bit.
