Enjoying Free TV Shows Online

I didn’t get much done last week because I was watching our kids in the evenings after work while my wife was away.  One thing I did get to do was catch up on the shows from last season’s “The Office”.  Over the course of a few days I stood and watched 12 episodes from last season while I fed our little girl her bottle in the evenings. One of my favorite lines was when the boss was planning his own roast and commented, in the typical clueless Micheal Scott manner, “I’ve got to get YouTube down here to tape this”  : )

My wife was able to take advantage of the free shows on the Web as well, she caught an episode online that she missed of The Bachelorette. We won’t be cancelling our cable anytime soon, at least not until the day we can get ESPN for free online : ) but there is certainly a trend of more and more people watching video online.  Maybe your favorite shows are available free on the web.
