Watching TV Online, Part III

Today I'm going to talk about YouTube. Most of us think of it as a place to watch clips of old TV shows (or clips of new TV shows that quickly get taken down), but did you know that some TV networks have started to put up legitimate clips? There are several channels of YouTube controlled by the networks. Ones that I've found are CBS, PBS, and the BBC. I especially love the BBC channel, because they've put up clips of many classic BBC shows from the past as well as the present. So if, for instance, you were talking to a friend who's been living under a rock and has never heard of Butterflies, you could show them this. Of course, this isn't going to help you if you're looking for full episodes, but sometimes just a little taste is enough, and in that case, YouTube might be perfect for you.
