Wow, looks like CBS has posted all episodes of the original Star Trek on-line. You can view them on the cbs.com page, but it is not full-screen. If you want the full screen goodness, you have to go to Joost. So, go to Joost and get your Trek on! Here is the link.

CBS library expands on Joost
I assume that CBS innertube is still stuttering, but I have not been back there in the last couple of weeks to check. Instead, I have been watching my favorite CBS TV show, Kid Nation on Joost. I have noticed that CBS is really adding to joost and there are quite a few shows available. Not only do they have a bunch of CBS channels, but the main CBS channel has lots to see, and is adding more and more daily. I still have not had a chance to check out the Price is Right, but I know it will be there when I am ready.

CBS changes their player to CBSux
Ah, what a cleaver headline. Too bad it is true.
It had been a couple of weeks since I had visited CBS’s innertube site to see Kid Nation, so the other night I decided to catch up on the episodes I had missed. When I arrived at the site, I noticed that they had totally changed the underlying technology of their web player. How did I know this? For one, the show was actually showing up on my TV screen. You might remember my post from a couple of weeks ago how I have Windows Media Edition version of XP, and it is hooked up to my TV. Sometimes, for unknown reasons, the video will not show up on the TV screen, even though you can see it on the computer monitor. You might also remember from that post how I was able to use Real Player to view Kid Nation. While the quality of the video was just ok, the streaming experience was most satisfying- smooth and with no pauses. I HATE pauses.
This however is no longer the case. Now, the video does show up on my TV, but the streaming experience is totally horrible, and you can’t watch it using Real Player anymore. I mean the steaming was soooo bad, I could not even watch it. It just stutters along and is very jerky. I think they adopted the crappy NBC technology instead of the killer ABC technology, but whatever. I tried everything. Pauseing so the stream could catch up, switching to Explorer, shutting down and re booting… Nothing was working!
I just wanted to watch some Kid Nation. So, what is a web TV watcher to do?
Joost to the rescue! Yes, I went on the Joost guide page and searched for CBS. Low and behold, they had the latest episode of Kid Nation on their CBS channel. I fired it up and was treated to a very good night of watching Kid Nation! The downfall is that they only have the latest episode on their channel, so I have to keep on the ball.
The upside of the CBS channel on Joost? The Price is Right! Yeah, that is cool. I did not watch it, but now that I know it is there, I will be.
Oh, so how was this week’s Kid Nation? It was pretty good, even if the topic was religion. That show is totally weird anyway, I mean where are the showers? Do the kids actually take showers? Or wash their clothes? I know I would not do either at that age unless I was forced by the parental unit. How long until the clothes get so stinky and stiff that there is a rebellion? Or, maybe, they have staff that does these things for the kids off screen. Whatever, I still like the show. If you have not seen it (and you have a faster connection than I do), then go check it out on the CBS Innertube page. If nothing else, the show will stimulate discussion in your house.

What I watched 10-1-07
Ok, let's see what kind of internet video I have been watching the last couple of days.
Today on the bus, I watched my Sansa. I watched..
1) Bicycle-Sidewalk 302nd Post - Pottery, Rotation, Japan, Summer, Spacey, Indigo, What did he say?
2)Mike Moon Memory is a Filing Room
3)LO Fi St Louis Episode #193 Record Show!
4) LO Fi St Louis Episode #194 Th’ Legendary Shack*Shakers
5) Rosie O'Donnel's Vlog imagine that
6) Rosie O'Donnel's Vlog hana
7) Ryanne's Video Blog Ash and I at Amy and Dave's Wedding
8) x360 Journal Into Belgium & Circumnavigation Completion
9) x360 Journal Weather Most Foul
This last weekend, we also watched some streaming video. We watched shows from all the major networks. We watched Kid Nation on CBS, the season premier of Ugly Betty on ABC and the season premier Bionic Woman on NBC. The shows were all good, but who had the best on-line viewing experience? Well, CBS's video player does not display video on the TV screen in Firefox. Luckily, the RealPlayer plugin allows us to view the video using realplayer. The quality is not that great, but we can press pause and the video keeps downloading, so when we play it, no pauses. ABC's video player is the best I think. The quality is great, and the video seems to stream really well with our slow connection. It seems that it looses a bit of quality in places instead of pausing. NBC's video player is not that great. The quality is really good, but we could not get it to run on Firefox. When we used Explorer, we were able to actually view the show, but there were still lots of pauses.

What I watched 9-20-07
Well, I did not watch anything this morning on the bus.
However, last night we watched Kid Nation. Kid Nation is on CBS innertube. I had first heard about Kid Nation on the Silicon Valley Mom's blog,which I read and find entertaining. When they had a review of the show, I knew I had to go watch it. I am glad it is one of the shows on the innertube.
