You may not be able to find CBS TV series on Hulu, but soon you’ll be able to stream them on Amazon.  In a non-exclusive licensing deal, reported by Tech Crunch, Amazon will offer 18 TV series from the CBS library–including The Tudors, Numb3rs, Medium, Frasier, Cheers and the complete Star Trek franchise–and help add 2,000 episodes to its library.

The agreement between Amazon and CBS comes at a time when Netflix customers have been outraged by price increases and Instant Streaming outages. Would you consider switching from Netflix to Amazon?

After HBO’s ROME, Showtime found success with The Tudors and hopefully now The Borgias. Spartacus: Blood and Sand helped to rebrand Starz as an original programming destination and just gave us Camelot. On April 17, HBO is getting back in the sword-fighting business with the highly-anticipated series Game of Thrones. Fourteen days before its premiere the premium cable network released Game of Thrones’ first 14 minutes, and let’s just say it doesn’t take any prisoners. Watch the first 14 minutes of Game of Thrones after the jump!

With a tagline like “The Original Crime Family”, how can one not expect it to be The Tudors meets The Sopranos, with a big dose of medieval Catholicism? Watch the juicy trailer after the jump!
