CHANNEL SURFING
Summer, Buffy, and Rory are back at a computer near you.
Here’s a reason to believe in life after death: Almost exactly a year after the WB was shut down, it’s getting a second chance as an online-only network.
The TV channel that got taken over by the CW is now offering up some of its classic shows (like The OC, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Gilmore Girls) for free through their relaunched website. And that’s not all: You can watch webisodes of their new shows, like Whatever Hollywood and A Boy Wearing Makeup, and put together your own video mash-up (since episodes of Friends and Smallville are just begging for side-by-side treatment).
But by far, the coolest function is the search tool; not only can you look for a certain show or character, but find episodes that have a certain term. Prepare to waste hours searching for terms like “Death Cab” and “The OC” in between Veronica Mars marathons.

WOW! Just...yeah, I love tv series so much. Here in Italy we are watching every morning Buffy and Smallville reruns, but as soon as they finish I'll search the website, for sure.

Doesn't work if you're outside the US though. Bummer! Great idea, all in all.
