As discussed in an article in the New York Times, Disney will begin showing vintage TV shows on its website. This adds to a list of many media companies either doing the same already or evaluating significant similar initiatives.

Even Michael Eisner, the former CEO of Disney, appears to have entered the foray (Say Hello Disney) with Veoh, a video sharing site, and Vugure, an online show production company. It is interesting to read about what Eisner is doing, which is nicely profiled on Wikipedia.

Given these developments, long-time domaineer and web publisher Adapt, Inc. has again started promoting its long held TVvideos.com site.

A company spokesman elaborates; "We had interest in TVvideos.com from some of the largest media companies in the world a couple of years ago. None came forward with a substantial bid, however. The largest offer we received was a $10,000 anonymous bid via an online broker."

"Call us square for not offering a screwy name like google or kanoodle. I mean, if search.com or find.com would have been readily available, would Brin and Page still have gone with the name Google? Ever since these guys developed a substantial company with a name that is meaningless to most, albeit admitedly quite catchy (understatement of the year), everyone has been trying to out-silly each other."

Continuing, "Well, we think the tide is turning, such that a site offering TV videos might actually, God forbid, call itself TVvideos.com."

It is an interesting thought. Clearly Adapt is not selling out early; although they may lose this bet and get stuck with just another parked domain in perpetuity. Time will tell.

You can make an offer for TVvideos.com at the domain's page at Moniker.
