There are several websites where you can find free tv shows online. And when I talk about these websites, I'm talking about legal websites.



It's not enough for a network to just put their tv programs on the air in this day of tivo where people can easily skip over commercials. Remember, without commercials, there is no reason for a television network to exist.

There are a couple of sites that are at the forefront of the online tv movement. The websites I will list here are well-designed and have very good quality videos that stream directly from the site.

There are no downloads necessary and you can watch these videos at your own convenience wherever you can get an internet connection.

Hulu: This is a website that is a joint project of the NBC and Fox networks (it's owned by NewsCorp). At hulu, you can find a lot of free tv shows and movies you can watch right at the site.

Some of the shows you can watch are House, Bones, 30 Rock, Arrested Development, Family Guy, the Simpsons, Monk, and Desperate Housewives. As you can see, there is a good mix of different types of tv shows.

There are also older shows like Alf, A-Team, and Murder She wrote. They tv watching options are very diverse at this site.

In addition to the tv shows, there are many movies you can watch. Some titles are The Girl Next Door and The Big Lebowski, among many others.

This site is one of the premiere online tv sites out there and they did a really good job with it.

Fancast: Fancast is a close number two to the website listed in the top slot of this list. The site has many different tv shows for you to choose from. Many of them are the same as at hulu, but there are also some that are exclusive.

You can find many movies at this site as well, in addition to the behind the scenes interviews and tv extras you can enjoy.

In sum, there are many places where you can download tv shows online, but many of them are not legal. Both of the sites mentioned in this site are legal for you to use.

The way the sites make money is they subject you to a few advertisements with each tv show or movie you watch. These ads are very short or integrated into the content so you actually watch less ads than you would on a normal tv broadcast.

It will be interesting to see what happens with online tv in the next few months and the upcoming years as more and more content becomes web-focused.

Now you know where to watch tv online. Now, you can save money by canceling cable.
