Web Junkie Wednesday: Catch new TV shows early
It's Web Junkie Wednesday, and as the new television season is about to begin, I thought we could talk TV online.
By now, you should know about Hulu - the game changing Web site that legally streams a number of old and new TV shows and movies for free, at your convenience, no downloads necessary.
But like YouTube before it, Hulu has pushed networks to start posting their shows on their own Web sites - in higher def, with minimal ads and streaming whenever you like.
This season there are a number of networks posting their shows' season premieres before they actually hit the TV. Among them:
Showtime is allowing viewers to see this season's first episodes of hit shows Dexter and Californication now well before their Sept. 28 premieres.
But if explicit shows about serial killers and drunk, masochistic writers aren't your bag, NBC may have what you want.
Right now you can see the premiere of the new Knight Rider revival and this season's first episode of Lipstick Jungle ahead of their Sept 24th premieres.
Next week the network will let you watch the season premieres of Life, Chuck and 30 Rock before they hit the airwaves as well.
