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.

Joost Show to Watch: Twilight Zone.
It seems that everyday Joost adds more and more content to their library. The latest show I noticed on there is the classic Twilight Zone episodes. They don't have them all, but there are quite a few. We just watched our own mini-marathon the other night with the classic "One Drink, One Bar of Gold".
I had thought I had seen them all, but it seems that there are still a few I did not recognize. One of the ones I really liked that I had not seen before was. "The Obsolete Man". I mean you can't really go wrong with Burgess Meredeth.
Anyway, check out the Twilight Zone on Joost for some good old fashioned entertainment.

Joost Show to Watch: Worlds Apart - Birmingham Meets Ghana
So, you are looking for a good show to watch on Joost, since they have like a ton of shows, and it is a bit overwhelming.
One reality show that I have found that I like is the National Geographic show, Worlds Apart. I especially enjoyed the episode Worlds Apart: Birmingham Meets Ghana. The description from the site is "An Alabama family is transplanted from a comfortable southern home to a mud and stick compound." Don't let that fool you, this show is great! It is produced by National Geographic, and while some may morn their descent into the hell that is reality TV, the very fact that it is produced by National Geographic, makes it watchable. This episode is the first one I stumbled on, and was very entertaining. When I watch shows, I like to be entertained. I think you will too, so go and check out Worlds Apart: Birmingham Meets Ghana. What do you have to loose? I mean it is the internet, if you don't like it you just click away.

Joost launches Facebook integration.
Last night when I was watching Kid Nation on Joost, I noticed a new feature. Somehow Joost had been talking to Facebook and knew that I had a Facebook profile. Then Joost automatically told Facebook that I was watching Kid Nation (actually it say I was enjoying Kid Nation) and wanted to post it to my Facebook News Feed for all my "Friends" to see. I of course said "yes", so it did.
I like this feature! Facebook is all about "showing off" to your friends about what you are up to on-line and this is just another way to do this. Next time you are watching Joost, check out this new feature for Facebook, as it is way better than that zombie thing, or even super wall, or favorite friends, or magic 8 ball or...

Joost Show to Watch: Aqua Teen Hunger Force
It always surprises me how many people are not familiar with this totally hilarious Adult Swim TV show. Aqua Teen Hunger Force is about a Shake, Frys and Meat paddy that are supposed to be private detectives. Of course the whole private detective thing was dropped very early in the show and now it is just bizarre adventures that they have. This show can be a bit crass, but all in all, I think it is very clever. This is a show that you have to watch a couple of times before you really start to find it funny. The Mooninites and Carl are really great side characters, so make sure you watch the show until you see them.
For those that still are not familiar with the show, remember the bomb scare in Boston that was created by characters for a TV show drawn in a home made light bright? Well, the characters were the Mooninites.
Anyway, if you are looking for something new, or if you are already an Aqua Teen Hunger Force fan, check them out on Joost.

Joost Show to Watch: What's Happining
I found a great show that is now available on Joost. What's Happining. I watched the "Sunday Father" episode. It has been a mighty long time since I have seen a episode of What's Happening, but I see the show is still pretty good. Boy, you kids have it easy these days to learn about that 70's TV culture. What's Happening has some cheesy lines, but they are still pretty funny. Dee really gives some zingers. If you are looking for a good show to check out on Joost, then I totally recommend What's Happining.

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.

Joost has really improved a ton since we first got the beta invite about 7 months ago. This is a really quality way to watch great video content on the internet, so go to Joost and download the player!

What I watched 9-16-07
Here are the things I watched today.
On the bus, using my Sandisk Sansa..
1) Jetset Show: hissy fits, ego-surfing, predators of the sprawl Jetset is your guide to internet culture. It is written for teens, but I have a sneaking suspicion that most of their views are older. Once again, Zadi and Steve have done a great job.
2) Rocketboom: Ice Robots, Endangered Mammals & the McClure Strait
3) Wallstrip: 9-18-07 2007 Ms. Blackberry Pageant (RIMM)
Last night we watched some Joost. We watched “Welcome Back Kotter: The Election” on the “Before they were megastars” channel. Welcome Back Kotter is a weird show. They never seemed to do any work in that class, just goofed off a lot.
