Love Your Favorite TV Shows!
January 14th, 2008
All three of the major networks have made at least some of their shows available online. CBS even added four of its daytime soap operas, and ABC is offering high-definition versions of the entire run of Lost. (And for other shows, ABC put up high-density versions of a few selected episodes, including Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty, and Dirty Sexy Money.)
This is a big deal, even if your New Year's resolution isn't to watch more television! It's a real sign that the web is changing the world. 2008 begins with the television writers still on strike over the royalties they'll receive in the future for online viewings of their TV shows. NetFlix is now letting their users watch movies online. And as Americans begin choosing their next President, they're facing questions submitted in the form of online YouTube videos!
But with all these options available, it becomes even more important to have a site like Xerpi, which lets users create home-grown lists showing where everything is! I typed up a quick "cheat sheet" below of which TV shows are already available online using Xerpi and this new "Free TV" public view. Let this serve as a reminder that we're entering a whole new world. In 2008, we're not just bookmarking our favorite web pages.
Now you can also bookmark your favorite TV shows!
