Watch TV Episodes Free Online at Museum of Broadcast Communications Website; 'The Class' Gets 4 Additional Scripts Order

The Chicago based museum - The Museum of Broadcast Communications has lots of episodes of various TV shows up for viewing for FREE for the public! All you have to do is browse their archives by clicking here. Register for a free username/password... then for the Index Class, choose TV. Then choose a Program Type (like Comedy/Sitcom) and finally check digital media box so you can see the video. You will get 24 pages (469 results) of various sitcom episodes. Most of these are original broadcast and uncut. Some even have original commercials, such as The Cosby Show finale, Designing Women finale, and The Wonder Years finale. Tons and tons of series are available for view in addition to those three I mentioned, mostly pilot episodes, but some shows have various other episodes, too. Catch sitcom episodes of Cheers, Married with Children, Webster, Three's Company, Bob Newhart Show, Diff'rent Strokes, Soap, What's Happening!!, Family Matters, Family Ties, ALF, Night Court, Father Knows Best, Happy Days, Mork & Mindy, Donna Reed Show, Gomer Pyle, Honeymooners, Burns & Allen, WKRP, Leave it to Beaver, Arrested Development, Dick Van Dyke Show, Beverly Hillbillies, Andy Griffith Show, The Jetsons, Roseanne, Mary Tyler Moore Show, That Girl, M*A*S*H, The Monkees, Growing Pains, Wings, A Different World, Doogie Howser, All in the Family, Home Improvement, Make Room for Daddy, Julia, Get Smart, Hazel, Seinfeld, Friends, Fresh Prince, Frasier, I Love Lucy, The Lucy Show, The Addams Family, Bewitched, Simpsons, Good Times, The Jeffersons, 227, Sanford & Son, Mad About You, Ellen, and so many MORE! Cheers has the series premiere, the special hosted by Bob Costas on the night of the finale, and the finale itself! And the famous Archie Bunker's Place episode where Edith is being mourned is also here with a special CBS Special Presentation bumper at the start. Rare shows are also included like The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd, The Goldbergs, Beulah and more! And this is just the sitcoms. You can watch TV dramas, award shows, talk shows, and TV movies even! Talk shows include episodes of Late Night with David Letterman (NBC) and TV movies like Roots. And catch the 1st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards on the award show section. I had fun browsing and watching; I hope you do too! And if you're in Chicago, head on over to that museum for more fun!

CBS has ordered four additional scripts for the freshman sitcom The Class starring Jason Ritter. The Class started the season off Mondays at 8 p.m., but was dropping each week so then CBS moved it to 8:30 p.m. and the show grew in its first outing. The last two weeks however the show has dropped again in the slot. While four additional scripts is good news, The Class fans would like a full season order of course. The numbers need to get a bit better, like holding the lead-in's numbers or even building on it, like it did the first week at 8:30. In essence, watch the show if you want it to survive the season. If not, it'll be 13 and out.
