Comedy and Tragedy, streaming

I like to watch 30 Rock at night, courtesy of Hulu.com. They make 4 or 5 episodes available at a time. So tonight I get home, sit down to watch one, and they all claim to be “expired” when I start them up. I am sad.

However, you can watch all of The World at War, one of the best documentaries ever made, over at Youtube. Someone uploaded all of it. It’s a BBC production about WW2, made around 1970. You can find an episode list and other info in the Wikipedia entry, and then go look up episodes (in segments, for length) by name on Youtube. I’ve been watching lots of these, and they’re pretty amazing. Narrated by Laurence Olivier too.
