SitcomsOnline.com Reviews In2TV; Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman Reunited This Week
AOL's In2TV service is launching TOMORROW and we at SitcomsOnline.com had a special look at the system and have reviewed it for you before it launches! We review it all now--TV DVDs, TV pilots and now an online system--what other site can top that?!
skees53, one of our reviewers here at Sitcoms Online, has thoroughly reviewed the system in great detail for everyone. It is a must read! Here is what to expect in the review:
In2TV puts a new twist on something that has become the new way of delivering media (even if it hasn't FULLY caught on yet) over the past couple of years--the whole concept of video-on-demand. The "new twist" with In2TV is that, rather than presenting you something like that episode of Survivor that you missed last night and just HAVE to see now, In2TV provides episodes of some of the great television programs of our past. These aren't just programs that you can turn on the television right now and watch. These are programs that, for whatever reason, are not currently shown on television (with some minor exceptions). You don't need to live in a certain geographical area (unless you live outside of the United States) and hope that your cable company adds the service, because In2TV is available online, not through any cable service. And the best part about In2TV? Everything is (minimally) supported by advertising, and thus is free!
Our extensive review covers:
- Programs and Episodes on In2TV
- Bonus Items on In2TV
- How to Use In2TV
- Technical Requirements for In2TV
- Video, Audio, and Service Quality
The I Dream of Jeannie 1st Season DVD is out today--and Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman are going all out to promote it! The '60s are back with Jeannie and Major Nelson.
