You Can Now Watch TV Shows on YouTube
Hulu isn't gonna know what hit them now that YouTube has launched a new television show section on its website, which includes categories like family, sports, comedy, romance, and even movies! What's great is that there's already a wide selection of shows, including classics like Alf, MacGyver, and 90210 — I know, ALF! Word has it that YouTube has signed agreements to distribute content from Sony, Lions Gate, CBS, MGM, and more, so hopefully the selection of shows keeps growing.
The Hills Is Making Its Way to Sling.com
I'm a big advocate of the video site Hulu, which streams movies and TV shows for free (they are commercial-supported). But there's still a huge list of shows, like The Hills, that aren't available on Hulu. The website Sling — brought to you by the masterminds of the SlingPlayer — is adding Viacom Shows (like The Hills) to its full streaming lineup.
Website of the Day: Ustream.TV
Gearing up for Tuesday's big inauguration day? If you've got all of the festivities scheduled to tape on your DVR while you're at work, but you don't want to miss any of the action as it happens, a site called Ustream.TV will broadcast everything live and for free! And not only that, but if you have an iPhone, Ustream has created an iPhone viewing application so you can watch the inauguration live — directly from your cell phone.
Website of the Day: CastTV
If you can't find the video you're looking for on Hulu, give CastTV a whirl. CastTV is a new video aggregator, but has high hopes to become the top video source on the web by indexing every video that hits the Internet — from YouTube to iTunes — and be your one-stop shop for TV show and specialty program viewing.
I found episodes of Supernanny (a guilty pleasure of mine), plus insider clips from some of my favorite shows like Dexter, Mad Men, and Saturday Night Live.
YouTube Gets Full Episodes of Geeky Classics!
This has got to be the best news I've heard all week! YouTube is now streaming 15 50-minute episodes of geeky classic TV shows like Star Trek, MacGyver and, wait for it — Beverly Hills 90210! Once you click on a show, you can decide whether you want to watch it in Theater View with the surrounding LED light on or off.
Yahoo Gearing Up to Stream CBS TV Shows
If you're already a fan of CBS shows like How I Met Your Mother, CSI, or Late Night With David Letterman, you'll be happy to know that Yahoo has just reached a deal with CBS to stream shows online. . .
Zune Adds New TV Titles to Its Video Store
The recently opened Zune Marketplace store is set to add more than 400 new episodes of popular television shows to its online line-up — with 19 popular titles coming this week. Shows like The Colbert Report, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and Lipstick Jungle (woot!), are all set to make their Zune Marketplace debut.
Each show is said to be 160 Microsoft Points per episode (approximately $1.99).
CBS Pools Online Videos With Its Audience Network
Being able to watch TV shows and movies online for free is a magnificent thing. One problem though. .
Watch Full Star Trek Episodes on CBS.com
Listen up all you Trekkies, if you want to check out Shatner and the rest of the starship Enterprise crew in all their geeky glory, head over to the CBS website where you'll find full-length episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series seasons one, two, and three.
Neatorama has also pointed out that there are 30-second ads before each episode, but a small price to pay considering you get your Star Trek fix for free! One last surprise.
Download of the Day: UnPlug
Our friends at lifehacker dug up this download that's awesome for when you see a video on YouTube or MySpace that you want to keep on your computer and have access to when you're offline.
UnPlug, a Firefox add-on, puts an adorable fish icon in your toolbar, and when you're on a page with an embedded video you want to keep, just click the fish and a download page will come up. The files save in flash, so if the files don't play initially, you can download the media player VLC to watch them.
