AOL reruns

From the NY Times Arts Section:

LAST week, America Online introduced the first broadband television network on the World Wide Web, fueling the question, Has the Internet truly been a net positive for civilization? Realizing some aspect of the dream that was the failed AOL Time Warner merger, the network offers an inventory of dramas, comedies and "vintage" programming from the Warner Brothers archive, proving perhaps, as the fashion world has already demonstrated, that "vintage" in modern parlance has simply come to mean old.
We didn't like a lot of those shows the first 10 times through. What makes AOL think we're going to like them now?
