I recently discovered this and thought it was pretty cool.

Say you know someone who wants to watch MacGyver but doesn't have the DVDs, or you want to watch while traveling, or whatever the case may be.

If you have a newer edition of Windows (I have 7, but I believe Vista has this too) it probably comes with the program "Windows Media Center."

In this program there is a section with free TV shows that you can browse/search and stream onto your computer for free. I didn't check the list that thoroughly, but it looks like they have most if not all of the episodes. I just typed MacGyver into the search bar and there was a very long list of results. I narrowed by finding the episode I wanted to watch on a separate site and then searching for it there ("The Survivors" - a great episode).

So, it's not as good quality as the DVDs, but if you're in a pinch or are trying to help a friend watch, it's free and it's of "watchable" quality.

Does it somehow link into the CBS website to get their free videos or something?

I wonder if it's a world wide thing, or just free in the US?

Ah that's probably where they get them. It does say CBS in the bottom corner, and takes 3 or so 10 or 15 second commercial breaks. It doesn't link to the site though, it loads it directly.
