A Little Giant Robot For You

By now, you've likely heard that YouTube is offering commercial supported video consisting of television shows and movies.  While the selection isn't great, there are some interesting finds.

One in particular is Johnny Sokko and Giant Robot.  Many of us watched Giant Robot on UHF back in the 1970s along with Ultraman and Space Giants.  Giant Robot tells the story of Johnny Sokko and his over sized Robot friend taking on what else but giant monsters in Japan.

The selection isn't too huge at this point as the service is new but there is enough there to like to see the potential.  This is just another example of streaming video on the internet at is giving many people pause about paying for cable or satellite television when they can just hook up their PCs to the TV and watch their favorite shows when and where they want.

For a taste of Giant Robot, go over to YouTube and watch the first five episodes.

When you're done with that, go over to AMC and check out their list of B-Movies including Invasion of the Neptune Men and War of the Colossal Beast.

Last up is Crackle, which has about a dozen Godzilla and Mothra movies.  Crackle is owned by Sony so there are other examples of their tv and movie content for your viewing pleasure.
