Kindle Fire video gets the best, worst of Viacom TV in new streaming deal

Jersey Shore

Amazon today announced that it's reached a streaming agreement with Viacom that will bring television shows from MTV, Comedy Central, Nikelodeon, TV Land, Spike, VH1, CMT and Logo to Amazon Prime subscribers -- and that means to the Amazon Kindle Fire as well. 

That pretty much runs the gamut from the worst television has to offer -- Jersey Shore, The Hills, The Real World -- to the best of Comedy Central (Chappelle's Show and The Sarah Silverman Program are mentioned; here's to hoping The Daily Show is included as well) and Nikelodeon, including Dora the Explorer, SpongeBob SquarePants and Yo Gabba Gabba.

All GTL kidding aside, this is yet another big deal for Amazon, which already has a killer streaming offering through Amazon Prime. Package this up with perhaps a slightly higher-resolution Kindle Fire, and we're going to go through the roof.

Full presser's after the break.
