Links will take you to the source and, in most cases, additional commentary – pro TCSFC, anti SkiffyTube and anti-‘retro 90s web design’. (How the heck can anything from the nineties be called ‘retro’?)
http://www.boingboing.net/2008/06/02/homemade-scifi-chann.html “Wil Wheaton sez, “This guy really loves science fiction, and REALLY hates the Sci-Fi channel for not airing enough classic SciFi. So he found all sorts of shows online, and has created his own incredibly awesome repository of classic science fiction television show links. As far as I can tell, it’s all legal, and there are hundreds of hours of programming to choose from.” “
http://www.plime.com/entertainment/l/64667/1/ “The Sci-Fi Channel has become more of a joke than it was. With new additions to the network such as professional wrestling it isn’t even close to what it could have been. The Crotchety Old Fan has created his own network with legal links to a variety of shows as well as news and a blog.”
http://hecklerandkochk.blogspot.com/2008/06/classic-science-fiction-channel.html “…Nevertheless I heartily endorse The Classic Science Fiction Channel, which will get the Heckler & Kochk Seal of Approval™ and appear on our blogroll once I get around to setting it up.”

http://zomopro.com/archives/tag/the-classic-science-fiction-chanel “What is a jaded SciFi fan to do these days when the SciFi Channel just seems to not care about you anymore? Yeah, yeah, there’s Battlestar Galactica but really… what have they done for us lately? Well if you’re a guy like Steve Davidson you start your own SciFi channel is what you do my friend. And Steve did just that, well kind of. Steve has set up on the Internet The Classic Science Fiction Channel, a place to watch a good number of classic SciFi. From Johnny Soko and His Flying Robot to Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Steve’s on a mission to bring back the SciFi to Science Fiction.”
http://blog.charlespillsbury.com/?p=270 “Interesting little bit here using some online “rental” sort of services to run a “channel” with better Sci-Fi than you see on the SciFi channel.”
http://other-worlds-cafe.com/news/blog/?p=757 “The Crotchety Old Fan really loves science fiction, and really really hates what the Sci Fi Channel calls science fiction.* So he’s scoured the Web for classic science fiction shows and has created a wonderful repository of links to old movies and TV episodes. There are hundreds of hours of programming to choose from, and he’s adding more all the time.
(I like his T-shirt design, too.)”

http://www.hobbyspace.com/nucleus/HSblog.php?catid=23 “Check out the The Classic Science Fiction Channel for links to full length on line videos of sci-fi TV shows and movies, some of which are space related.”
http://www.scotthawker.com/blog/shawker/skip/2/ “Can’t get enough classic sci-fi from the 50’s and 60’s and even earlier? Burned out with the really good but sometimes overly-heavy Battlestar? Just want to watch some cheesy effects and have some good old fashioned pop-corn movie watching fun?
Ignore the horrible 1990’s website design, and click here! This page has hundreds of hours of old tv shows and movies like Flash Gordon, Land of the Giants, Twilight Zone, etc..”
http://blogs.amctv.com/scifi-scanner/2008/06/daily-scan-rip-robert-justman.php “The Classic Science Fiction Channel is an online repository of links to great scifi from yesteryear, although bound to get some corporate dander up.”
http://www.shadowmanor.com/blog/?m=20080616 “Well, I am just tickled…um…blood red.
I was browsing the Classic Science Fiction Channel site and discovered that both seasons of The Addams Family TV series are available for viewing at Hulu! (I’m not sure why TCSFC links to it, since it’s palpably not science fiction, but I”m not complaining.)”
http://gnostalgia.wordpress.com/category/uncategorized/ “Tonight the scifi channel will run “Ghost Hunters” Jason and Grant will investigate an old colonial house. Later they will investigate California’s Moss Beach Distillery. Maybe, the Laurel and Hardy of the paranormal, will find spirits in the distillery.
If you would rather watch scifi tonight, here is a fine link for free scifi on the net.
