AOL Unveils In2TV

March 15, 2006 is the premiere date for In2TV, America Online and Warner Brothers' new free on-demand broadband television service. Internet users will be able to view episodes of classic Warner Brothers television series, including Falcon Crest, which features David Selby (Quentin Collins) as Richard Channing, and The Scarecrow and Mrs. King, starring Kate Jackson (Daphne Harridge).

Ten episodes of each series will be available at a time. Beginning in May, the first five episodes of each series will be removed to make room for five new episodes, and new episodes will continue to rotate in and out in this fashion in the coming months.

David Selby fans will have to wait a few weeks for the Falcon Crest episodes featuring Richard Channing. The character doesn't appear until the second season begins.

In addition to these two series featuring former Dark Shadows actors as regular cast members, several of the In2TV series featured DS actors in guest appearances. Look for more information about those episodes as they become available.
