About Videos
Free videos embedded for viewing are assumed to be public domain and/or freely-distributable.
Video files are stored at, maintained by, and served from Internet Archive, within its Moving Image Library Classic TV Sub-Collection.
Internet Archive encourages video embedding of digital artifacts stored at the Library.
About Internet Archive
Like the Great Library of Alexandria, the mission of Internet Archive is to catalog the world's information. In addition, Internet Archive wishes to make their content freely available to all:
"The Internet Archive is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that was founded to build an Internet library. Its purposes include offering permanent access for researchers, historians, scholars, people with disabilities, and the general public to historical collections that exist in digital format."
Note: Internet Archive also allows – and encourages! – downloading its digital video files. An attribution link on each streaming video page at RerunCentury leads to the source archived video.
Internet Archive accepts donations.
About This Guide
RerunCentury has curated and built this directory of the freely-watchable public domain television episodes.
Episodes are sorted into meaningful guides based on show title and year of original broadcast, and so that users may be directed to favorite shows or newly-discovered television artifacts.
Videos are embedded at RerunCentury for free viewing with no account required, and no video advertising apart from any historic commercials intact within the original broadcasts. Over 170 series and 1,300 episodes are indexed for free viewing.
Additional data about the historic TV videos has added info from freely-distributable sources and independent research by RerunCentury.
