wow. i am going to totally eat my anti-streaming-media words from the last blog entry.
i am very familiar with youtube, and have been using it for about as long as it's been around. i'd been collecting stuff like this for years on bootleg videos

& it's pretty amazing to be able to pull obscure stuff like this up with a few keystrokes.
hulu and fancast were both revelatory - i had NO IDEA that this kind of material was freely available online. even though the prospect of free, 24/7 access to every episode of the original "star trek" is something of a workplace nightmare...

this kind of thing is incredibly useful for public libraries with long hold queues for popular shows. for example, season 3 of star trek: TOS currently has a hold queue of 16, with 4 holdable copies...whichever way you look at it, any interested patron just adding themself to the hold list for this item is going to have to wait at least several weeks. all of these episodes are on fancast - this kind of instant access to materials can really be a tremdendous help to patrons (with high-speed internet access) who don't want to wait in the hold queue.

If I had a better computer at home, I'd be staying up all night looking at just the kind of thing you linked to, mostly to see footage of bands I never got the chance to see live. As far as old Star Trek & SNL bits, years ago my son & I were watching SNL IN REAL TIME during the Adam Sandler years (and it was truly an endurance test) when I turned to him as said "You know, as crummy as this is, you just know we'll eventually look back and think 'Wow, remember how GOOD SNL was when Adam Sandler was on?'"
