Have you forgotten how to disarm a bomb using just a toothbrush, a conversation heart, and tree branch? CBS has started streaming the complete first season of MacGyver, along with quite a few other old school television favorites on its website through a new "TV Classics" player. The player allows you to catch almost entire seasons of Dynasty, Family Ties, and Melrose Place with a few ad interruptions from a Flash player on website.

The new section also includes episodes of Beauty and the Beast, Beverly Hills 90210, Have Gun-Will Travel, Hawaii Five-O, The Love Boat, Perry Mason, The Twilight Zone, Twin Peaks, and to every nerd's delight... the original Star Trek series.

The player is free to watch, and many of the shows have complete seasons up, so you could easily spend an entire afternoon (or an entire week for that matter) getting through them all.
