RerunCentral.com Launches as Aggregator of Streaming Online TV Shows, with Special Focus on Twentieth Century Prime Time Network Television

CORVALLIS, Ore., Jan. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The website RerunCentral.com has launched to provide entertainment consumers an easy route to discovering TV shows of the twentieth 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 minimalist layout which 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 prime time 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 twentieth century network prime time broadcast television, and presents links to thousands of episodes of over 300 TV series. The site's mission is to give entertainment consumers more knowledge, choices, and convenience.

"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 twentieth 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 ninety-nine 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 2400 DVD products of over 500 TV series are available for purchase, and images of most DVD package covers are shown. RerunCentral.com currently documents prime time network shows originally broadcast from 1948-1999, and all known links to studio-authorized online content and available DVDs are displayed.
