This is perfect! Since the new 90210 spin off came out, I've been wanting to watch the original 90210. I never got the chance much because I was too young when it first aired.

azngoHAPPY

Jrsy is the dude, playing the dude, disguised as another dude

@MuglyTheWorm: You have to give them a little bit of a break though. At leas they didn't do it by loading up our landfills with wasted CD's...

georgexu316

qrius

I always knew google was evil.

Archnemesis_Goldenhair

google has turned into aol, they destroy everything they get their hands on

MuglyTheWorm

@nerdly: oh yeah, how could I forget that one!

flash wasn't bad either, although it was short-lived in cbs.

qrius

@Jrsy is the dude, playing the dude, disguised as another du...: that's pretty funny, aol should have put "this also doubles as a coaster" at the bottom of the disk

MuglyTheWorm

How do we get around the regional limitations, e.i. let me watch this ish i'm from Canada! eh....

pinkskittles

@people outside the US: Welcome to the world of Proxys.

@nerdly: Rex Smith...that has to be a fake name lol

Youtube. Sucking you in with good videos in hopes you'll forgive them when they add the ads.

jupiterthunder

More lame US only crap! It's not YouTube that decides this though, it's the content provider CBS.

khristopher

For non US-based clients, can't you use Hotspot Shield? [lifehacker.com]

Junkan

I liked this service better the first time, when it was called Hulu.

Fuzzy Logic

I can't believe people are complaining about YouTube having ads. YouTube has to be one of the most expensive sites to run that has the fewest number of ads. It's amazing that something as big and resourceful as YouTube is free, I'm sure a few ads won't kill you.

Ted Avery

Apparently does not work on IPhone...

Vectorb

@MuglyTheWorm: Why because it's getting shows with ads? unless you wanna buy the season dvds, and are available in your country, this is the only way to see old shows, unless you wanna look for some reruns in midnight airtimes.

VakeroRokero

" This video is not available in your country. " = yay, as usual.

Aprocalypse

Weren't these shows already available online?

Star Trek: Watch Full Episodes - CBS.com
MacGyver: Watch Full Episodes - CBS.com
Beverly Hills 90210: Watch Full Episodes - CBS.com

(See also Online Video: Beam me up! CBS.com streams full episodes of "Star Trek" [valleywag.com].)

RobDLG

@RobDLG: Click on the season numbers to get rid of the message which reads "There are currently no videos in this category."

RobDLG

@srtor: "This video is not available in your country."
I'm starting to loathe that phrase, I really am.
*grumbles*

amandakerik

Lovely. Now get me something that I haven't watched a million times. My iPod could always use some filling.

Boba.Fett

Wow - clearly YouTube feels influenced (threatened?) by [www.hulu.com]

digital_man

@srtor: Israel in that list too :(

david2tm

@jtraveller: I saw this trick posted elsewhere. Not sure if it allows you to view the video in your country or not. Taking the Playlist "Star Trek"; it's first video link is:

+ Watch video

Make it: [kr.youtube.com]

where "watch?v=" replace with "v/"

kg4dni

Doesn't work in the UK either, dammit!

cloudwalker_3

doesn't work in China either.
how disappointing. i was looking forward to that.

I_am_the_walrus

If only LH had a "US only" tag, then I could adjust my RSS accordingly. Now that would actually save me some time.

imagia

@srtor: Try Hotspot Shield

tytycoon

Lifehacker really seems to be pushing its "IM A RITER" image this week. "While away the hours," not "wile away".

PuritySyrup

I'm in canada, works well using Hotspot Shield

Mostro

Whatever. There's still bittorrent, folks. Much as I like Youtube, and would be willing to watch the classics in their interface, I'll just keep downloading them from other sources. Quality is better, and there's no ads. And it's still legal here in Canada (downloading, that is), so the American content providers can bite me- it's their own greed that's causing this problem anyways: by having vastly different licensing agreements in each country they do business in, they limit what's available in an attempt to maximise their profits (see DVD region coding). I'll keep on giving them the digital finger until they make it easy for me to get their content legitimately.

Eventually, Americans will realise they're not the only ones on this planet who can produce good entertainment. I already watch more stuff from the UK than from American studios anyhow (Torchwood, Lab Rats, Dr. Who, to name a few), and when it comes to actually spending money on stuff like that, I send as much as possible to Joss Whedon, 'cause he's smart and makes me want to give him money. It's not really hard to get me to want to give you my money, you just need to be creative.

Anyhow, I better get back to the poop deck and check on my scurvy crew. We've got a few more American TV shows to pirate!

rustybadger

Thanks for bringing the "This video is not availabel in your country" message YouTube!!!

No, seriously...

whiskey

With the help of a little bookmarklet, you can easily grab these and put them directly on your iPod or Zune. [blogs.tech-recipes.com]

shamanstears

Big deal. These have been available on Joost, cbs.com, and Hulu for a LONG time now.

So as soon as Google does something, THEN it's good?

OnipSemaj

@kg4dni:
hey, thanks!!!!

jtraveller

oh now that's sweet. full episodes of star trek. maybe I'll clear up that whopping 30 gigs of space that's taken up on my external hard drive by the entire original series of star trek and just catch it all on youtube.
