Masterpiece Theatre is now showing new episodes online for a limited time. I’m not sure if this means only new episodes will be available for a limited time or if the whole viewing shows online is a temporary deal (in which case I would suspect they are either running some beta version or testing the popularity of this feature) but I think this rocks. Now you can view episodes up to a week after it airs instead of setting aside time on Sunday nights or early Monday mornings. For some reason I think I’m in the minority group of viewers who watches PBS and in an even smaller minority group who watches disasterpiece theatre. Anyway, check it out if you can at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/
