Twin Peaks

File this one under the "Another Reason Why I Love the Internet" department:

The complete run of Twin Peaks is available to watch on CBS.com. If you've never watched an episode of this show it's... well... a brief synopsis won't do it justice or convey just how entertaining, atmospheric, and brilliant this show was. It's a cult classic and one of my very favorite shows. I've spent the last few days rewatching them all for the few time in a few years, and they still hold up and feel innovative and ahead of their time even after 20 years.

The CBS.com player is pretty crummy, however, and crashes too often, will stop playing suddenly, and often replays commercials a few times before resuming, but it's a small price to pay for being able to watch one of the best TV shows of all time. And if you can get past the minor performance issues, the video playback actually looks really good.

And while you're over there, check out some of the other shows they have available. Loveboat, 90210, Family Ties, Twilight Zone, and many more. They've even got a bunch of episodes of the remastered Star Trek: The Original Series on there, some of which are in HD.

I love the internet.
