We can watch actual current TV shows!

Is this an indicator that most of the excitement in my life centers around our son or what! I am excited about being able to watch TV on the computer? We were excited over the summer because we realized we could watch old episodes of really old shows (ex: Chico & the Man, Perfect Strangers, Head of the Class, you get the idea, right?). We were so overly excited! We watched lots of Chico & the Man (that is actually a surprisingly good show). I guess it's understandable to be excited about reruns when all we get is KVOS. On a somewhat related note, KVOS started showing reruns of Quincy, M.E. in the afternoon. It's my new favorite rerun show (taking the place of my beloved Diagnosis Murder with Dick Van Dyke).

Back to internet TV.....now we have an even more exciting development. You can watch real, current TV online now...the whole shows!! Both ABC and NBC have the current episodes of most of their shows available.

By far, our favorite is 30ROCK with Tina Fey and Tracy Morgan from SNL. It's actually really funny. I had prepared myself to be underwhelmed, but it is good. Unfortunately NBC only has the previous episode online, so you've already missed the 1st show, but you can watch the 2nd one.

Another good show is Ugly Betty on ABC. I would never plan my life around being home to watch it during its prime time slot, but I will watch it online and it's actually funny and clever. The most strange part is that the actress who plays Betty is named America Ferrera. I have to admit that when we were compiling lists of baby names, America never came up. She is quite funny and unique. Very likable.

Just wanted to give you all of this information in case you needed another new use for the WorldWideWasteoftime.
