LOST in streaming HD

I am a huge fan of the televison show LOST. As a matter of fact, it is this show that got me started on the whole "Watch internet shows on my TV". We had rented season 1 and watched it and then, as soon as season 2 came out on DVD we watched that. Season 3 had just started it's regular run on TV, but we had no cable, or rabbit ears to watch it with. Then I discovered it was available on the ABC.com site and we could watch it there. That is when I figured out how to hook up the TV to the computer and the rest is history.

LOST has not only inspired me to watch the computer through the TV, but now, it has inspired me to go to the next level. High-speed internet. I recently signed up for Comcast high speed internet and have been lovin it! No more jerky playback! Also, now I get to watch LOST in streaming HD.

So, if for some reason, you have not seen LOST yet, here is your chance as all the episodes are posted at ABC.com. Go check it out!

Joost Show to Watch: Star Trek

Wow, looks like CBS has posted all episodes of the original Star Trek on-line. You can view them on the cbs.com page, but it is not full-screen. If you want the full screen goodness, you have to go to Joost. So, go to Joost and get your Trek on! Here is the link.

Joost Show to Watch: Twilight Zone.

It seems that everyday Joost adds more and more content to their library. The latest show I noticed on there is the classic Twilight Zone episodes. They don't have them all, but there are quite a few. We just watched our own mini-marathon the other night with the classic "One Drink, One Bar of Gold".

I had thought I had seen them all, but it seems that there are still a few I did not recognize. One of the ones I really liked that I had not seen before was. "The Obsolete Man". I mean you can't really go wrong with Burgess Meredeth.

Anyway, check out the Twilight Zone on Joost for some good old fashioned entertainment.

Where to get your Hulu.com fix.

Just a quick post. There are other sites that are showing hulu.com's content that aren't hulu.com. These sites are great for all you folks that want to watch some really great network TV, but did not get a hulu.com invite. Check these sites...

Openhulu.com
Veoh.com

Oh, do you live outside the United State and want to check out hulu.com? You can read this article from TechCrunch on how to do just that.

Joost launches Facebook integration.

Last night when I was watching Kid Nation on Joost, I noticed a new feature. Somehow Joost had been talking to Facebook and knew that I had a Facebook profile. Then Joost automatically told Facebook that I was watching Kid Nation (actually it say I was enjoying Kid Nation) and wanted to post it to my Facebook News Feed for all my "Friends" to see. I of course said "yes", so it did.

I like this feature! Facebook is all about "showing off" to your friends about what you are up to on-line and this is just another way to do this. Next time you are watching Joost, check out this new feature for Facebook, as it is way better than that zombie thing, or even super wall, or favorite friends, or magic 8 ball or...

Joost Show to Watch: Aqua Teen Hunger Force

It always surprises me how many people are not familiar with this totally hilarious Adult Swim TV show. Aqua Teen Hunger Force is about a Shake, Frys and Meat paddy that are supposed to be private detectives. Of course the whole private detective thing was dropped very early in the show and now it is just bizarre adventures that they have. This show can be a bit crass, but all in all, I think it is very clever. This is a show that you have to watch a couple of times before you really start to find it funny. The Mooninites and Carl are really great side characters, so make sure you watch the show until you see them.

For those that still are not familiar with the show, remember the bomb scare in Boston that was created by characters for a TV show drawn in a home made light bright? Well, the characters were the Mooninites.

Anyway, if you are looking for something new, or if you are already an Aqua Teen Hunger Force fan, check them out on Joost.

Joost Show to Watch: What's Happining

I found a great show that is now available on Joost. What's Happining. I watched the "Sunday Father" episode. It has been a mighty long time since I have seen a episode of What's Happening, but I see the show is still pretty good. Boy, you kids have it easy these days to learn about that 70's TV culture. What's Happening has some cheesy lines, but they are still pretty funny. Dee really gives some zingers. If you are looking for a good show to check out on Joost, then I totally recommend What's Happining.

Show to watch: Frontline – Full Episodes.

One of my goals of this blog is to share with you some places to find shows to watch on the internet. Did you know that PBS Frontline posts their full episodes on their site? Yes, it is true. PBS has tons and tons of shows, but it is hard to figure out which ones are available as full episodes. I am still trying to find them all, as the list is very long.

I was not that familiar with Frontline before I started looking for internet TV shows. Now that I have found Frontline, I think it is a very well done show. At least the episodes I have watched that seem to be of interest to me. There are quite a few Frontline episodes that don’t seem to be of much interest, but I might watch them anyway at some point in the future. You know, just because the show is so well done.

What episodes can I recommend? One of the most interesting and enjoyable shows I have seen lately, is The Merchants of Cool. You can view the full episode here. Another episode I found very interesting was the one about the Mormons. Very in depth and lots of amazing facts. Watch the full episode here.

You can't go wrong with either of those episodes, so if you are looking for something to watch, they just might fit the bill.

Heroes posts later on Netflix

Heroes is a show that I like, but the NBC 24|7 player pauses on me and makes it hard to watch. I have discovered that Heroes also plays on Netflix "Watch Instantly", so I am back to watching it. I noticed yesterday that Heroes does not post to Netflix on Tuesday like it does on the 24|7 NBC site, but sometime on Wednesday. What time on Wednesday, I don't know, but I know that it is posted now, so I just might have to watch it now and catch up on this week's episode.
