Hours and Hours of Free TV Programming, Streaming At Fancast.com
I saw an ad on TV a few days back for Fancast.com (a product of Comcast, my cable and internet provider), touting access to numerous tv shows available streaming for play anytime. Most of the times I decide hit such video hosting and video aggregation sites, it's loaded with garbage shows from the murky depths of cable TV and reality TV, and has nothing of interest to me. But, I had some time to kill this weekend, so I gave it the benefit of the doubt, and checked it out... Man, was I pleasantly surprised!
Fancast.com has hours and hours of programing, including many recent shows I regular watch, including Kitchen Nightmares, CSI, CSI: NY, Burn Notice, In Plain Sight, Psych, Monk, DEA, Cops, Heroes, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and more. I was able to catch up on episodes I've missed, in the past, and re-watch some favorites (I had to re-watch some of the worst of Kitchen Nightmares, including the Sebastian's train wreck episode).
Even better, they have TONS of classic TV shows that I enjoy - Hawaii Five-O, Perry Mason, Adam-12, MacGyver, Airwolf, The Pretender, the original I Spy, Twin Peaks, Hill Street Blues, Knight Rider, The Incredible Hulk, The A-Team, Emergency!, the original 1952~1969 Dragnet, the 2003 reboot of Dragnet, Peacemakers, Kojak and tons more.
Providing the original content providers doesn't change, that's months and months of watching for me, and what little free time I have to enjoy. As well, the FLV videos are pretty decent quality, even in full-screen mode, and have limited commercial interruptions - generally only 10 ~ 15 seconds per break. I spent most of today backing up my computers at work and home, and leisurely watching episodes of Hawaii Five-O (they have over 50 episodes from 1968~1970). I've been calling my cat "Danno," all afternoon, to which she just stares at me like I'm insane. Thanks, Fancast.com!
