What other shows need to have episodes online (besides 'Boston Legal')?

Wizard Fri, Feb 22, 2008 at 06:37 AM EST

I really want to see Boston legal online-- I hate taping stuff on my dvd recorder, especially when it doesn't.
I do not understand why abc offers so few of it's shows online-- heck I would even pay to watch it through I-Tunes

I'd just like to be able to see anything online! Canadians can't watch any American shows online (I can't remember why).

The shows that are available on Hulu.com are also available on MySpace, believe it or not. Hulu's a partnership between NBC/Universal and 20th Century Fox, so there's no ABC/Disney, CBS/CW/Paramount/Warner Bros. shows up there. It should be noted, though, that 20th Century Fox is the studio behind Boston Legal!!!

I've never watched anything online, but am just thrilled to death that there are other BL fans out there!!! I remember when it was nominated for Emmys everyone bashed it. Shatner/Spader 2008...that's a ticket I can get behind!

I agree with everyone who feels The Amazing Race should be added. My kids love the show and with football running late, they miss the show. If you wait long enough, you can catch most eps on You Tube, but it's not the same.

Especially a show that acts like a continuing serial - aren't they afraid of losing viewers who miss an episode and can't catch up?

Project Runway would be great. Most cable channels dont have shows online though do they?
I watch most of my TV online and have to say NBC's player is terrible and needs to upgraded immediately.

I second Mad Men. I missed the first run, and would like to see what everybody is talking about.

MurMaz Mon, Dec 31, 2007 at 02:30 AM EST

I agree with Boston Legal. That was the only show I couldn't schedule onto my dvr, so I figured I could watch it online, but no. Disappointed!

Women's Murder Club!....

*crickets*

am I the only one who watches that??

Sarah Sat, Dec 29, 2007 at 01:45 PM EST

I agree with the Amazing Race suggestions, especially since it almost never plays on time because of football and I never set my DVR to record Cold Case afterwards

dsquaredfrmasquared Sat, Dec 29, 2007 at 10:13 AM EST

I agree 100% with PJ's comment on The Amazing Race. Given the weekly postponed showings due to football, putting it online would seem to be a no-brainer for CBS. But they haven't, and as a result, my interest in the show has declined. I watch 95% of the television shows I watch online. Being able to catch up online got me hooked on Heroes and Brothers and Sisters last season. ABC used to leave the whole season up -- I wish they'd go back to that.

Montserrat Sat, Dec 29, 2007 at 03:40 AM EST

I'm one of those 38% and HOW, I watched 99.9 percent of my TV - ONLINE. and i think the sci-fi channel should totally, completely air on-line as well. I mean, they're the sci-fi channel for godsakes. How could they not be on the wave of the... I would say future, but this is so now, it's almost PAST.

ladyli1 Sat, Dec 29, 2007 at 01:54 AM EST

i would like to have all the Star Trek incarnations and "Century City"

V.M.L. Sat, Dec 29, 2007 at 12:05 AM EST

Two words: MAD MEN.

Jess Fri, Dec 28, 2007 at 07:08 PM EST

Weeds, Project Runway/Top Chef, and everything on HBO. (They don't even sell episodes on iTunes, that's a missed opportunity that's costing them at least a few mill...)

Amy Fri, Dec 28, 2007 at 05:45 PM EST

Yes to Boston Legal.
If all episodes of Dirty Sexy Money and Pushing Daisies were online, I'd probably check those out.

Tamara Fri, Dec 28, 2007 at 05:24 PM EST

Criminal Minds!!!!!!!!!!!

PDub Fri, Dec 28, 2007 at 05:14 PM EST

take shows that don't show big TV ratings and put THEM on-line. market to a whole new fan base. things like journeyman (which nbc has failed to pick up to finish its season) would do great on-line. there are now full episodes there, but continue the season on-line, even if you don't put it in your prime time line up.

Jen Fri, Dec 28, 2007 at 04:28 PM EST

Project Runway!!!

PJ Fri, Dec 28, 2007 at 04:24 PM EST

CBS has royally shafted fans of The Amazing Race this season by programming it on Sundays. There's almost always a football game that bumps the show late, which means those of us who DVR or Tivo it regularly miss the ending, including that show's elimination. And yet CBS still doesn't offer the episodes online to compensate for this massive and repeated blunder.

Fri, Dec 28, 2007 at 04:24 PM EST

I agree with earlier postings that they should put up earlier episodes. I want to catch up Dirty Sexy Money which abc doesn't seem to want me to do.

I also don't get Bravo and have been having issues finding this season of Project Runway online (free and legally without me having to download a program)

Brandon Fri, Dec 28, 2007 at 04:17 PM EST

Smallville! It's not even available for purchase on iTunes! If I miss it, there's no other way to get it.

Z Fri, Dec 28, 2007 at 03:58 PM EST

Hulu's cool, but check out fancast.com too. It has more than just the NBC and Fox stuff.

Amber Ostheimer Fri, Dec 28, 2007 at 03:43 PM EST

Many of the shows you guys listed can be found on Hulu.com (Unfortunately it is in Beta Testing and you need to be selected to test it out). I have been using it for a few weeks and have been extremely impressed... so sign up for the testing or keep a look out for it. :)

CT Fri, Dec 28, 2007 at 03:08 PM EST

The one at the top of my list is E.R. If the network wants more viewers and wants to keep it around for several more years, they should open it up.

Also, I agree with the comment about putting an entire year available online. CBS only has 4 available shows at once. ABC used to have the whole season, but only has a number of episodes available.

Sarah Fri, Dec 28, 2007 at 03:06 PM EST

Yes! Battlestar Galactica! I've only watched that show on DVD, and trying to dodge the spoilers while a full season behind is impossible. Sci-Fi shows occasional reruns, but they are out of order and inconsistent!! I really wanted to catch up on season 3 before season 4 started on TV. Why did they push back the DVD release so far?

Kami Fri, Dec 28, 2007 at 02:08 PM EST

I agree with the Amazing Race suggestion. Also, Criminal Minds, Jeopardy, the Singing Bee, 20/20 or Nightline, and Eastenders.

Topher Shields Fri, Dec 28, 2007 at 01:59 PM EST

Project Runway!

chunkyrice13 Fri, Dec 28, 2007 at 01:30 PM EST

Maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment, but I'd watch good ol' e.r. if it were online. Definitely more full seasons, because if it's not up legally, we have to watch it illegally.

I also wish there were more Hulu-like sources for old tv. I just caught up on poor FOXed after 2 episodes "Kitchen Confidential". I love using the internet like a dvd box set.

Fri, Dec 28, 2007 at 01:15 PM EST

I want Without A Trace...but I am so glad NBC put on the Quarterlife.

snarky Fri, Dec 28, 2007 at 01:11 PM EST

I'm with you Lynn. I am DYING to watch the "Pie-Lette" ep of Pushing Daisies, but cannot locate it on ABC's website. GAH. I am having withdrawal.

SJK Fri, Dec 28, 2007 at 01:07 PM EST

how about The Amazing Race. CBS has Survivor and Kid Nation on there, not to mention The Big Bang Theory. So why not their emmy winning reality show?

Lynn Fri, Dec 28, 2007 at 12:49 PM EST

My only wish: put the entire current season online. (Hello, ABC!) With the writer's strike upon us, I like to use this time to try out new shows. NBC puts the entire current season online, while ABC only puts the past couple episodes. I'd like to watch new shows, but I don't want to start in the middle of season. Thanks to NBC, I was able to see Life and Chuck. Loved them both!

Snsetblaze Fri, Dec 28, 2007 at 12:34 PM EST

I recently got into The Office. I watched this season on tv. Rented Season 1 and 2 with my FREE movie rentals but Season 3 is still on the new release list so it would cost me to see them so I will wait. NBC should put the entire series on line for free to watch. (At least last time I checked it had not). Also, Rome Season 2.

adam Fri, Dec 28, 2007 at 12:22 PM EST

Battlestar Galactica. Or, you know, they could release Season 3 on DVD. That would be swell. It's only been, what, 9 months since the last episode aired? Thanks.
