A recent trend with is really gaining steam is TV networks placing full episodes of their shows online. Many stations from the major networks (NBC, ABC, CBS) and cable networks (TNT, TBS, etc.) are putting their shows, everything from soap operas to reality series, online for you to view anytime.The great thing about this trend is, obviously, you can watch them anytime you like and there are typically only a few commercial interruptions. The downside, however, is the quality is not the best (which is to be expected) and depending on the show, it can be several days before it is available online.Overall, it is best to catch your show on TV (or record it) if you can, but the ability to be able to catch up with shows available online is a great option to look in to.
