Yahoo to Stream CBS Comedies on Web

Yahoo and CBS said Tuesday that the companies were joining forces to offer free streaming of the network's comedies "Two and a Half Men" and "How I Met Your Mother" through Yahoo TV. The promotion extends from Tuesday through January 2.

A total of four episodes, two from each series, would be available through the service. CBS had previously tried streaming of a primetime television series on its own. Three episodes of the network's new series "Threshold" were made available through its Web site earlier this season.
