Download old TV shows

The 60's and 70's are still considered to be the golden era of television. Those who have lived through that age watching TV should consider themselves fortunate. There was very little to choose from. But whatever came on TV was so good that even a storm wouldn't take people away from it. And hey, there was no remote control. There were some real quality shows like ‘The Star trek series, Brady Brunch, Man From U.N.C.L.E., The adventures of Johnny Sako and his Giant Robot and many more. Today, I would take just about anything to get those shows again. It doesn't matter if the special effects were corny when compared to the special effects today. The fact is that nothing can beat those shows. The arrival of the internet has made it possible for us to download any of those old TV shows. Yes, there are websites where we can download just about any old TV show that came on US TV. But the real test comes in finding those websites.

Which website to choose from

Look up for old TV shows and you will come across hundreds of websites offering TV shows for downloads. It becomes rather confusing ...
... when you have to choose one website from amongst them. So how does one make the right selection? You can choose according to the kind of content available on the website. How do you define old? For some people, the shows from the 70's and 80's are old enough and that is what they are looking for. But for the baby boomers, shows from the 50's and the 40's are what are old. Now very few, I repeat, very few websites will have shows from the 40's like Captain Midnight or Space ranger on offer. You can easily browse through the catalogue of the website and make a selection. The other way by which you can make a selection is the type of plan on offer. Some websites will let you watch the old TV shows online for free but charge you for downloads. It depends on what you are willing to pay for getting those TV shows.

Copyright woes

One problem that continues to plague most old TV shows is copyright issues. Is it legal to watch those shows online or download them? Most of the TV shows from the 50's are so old that their copyright status is under cloud. In fact this is one of the best ways to select a website. There are many websites also known as torrent websites which are nothing but P2P networks. My personal advice to you would be to stay away from these websites. But let me also add a note that you will not find a bigger collection of TV shows anywhere on earth. Rather than downloading from these websites, you can always choose from websites which are legal. These websites have the legal right to distribute most of these old TV shows. You can be rest assured that you are not doing anything illegal by downloading old TV shows from these websites.
