Episodes online

I actually set my VCR to tape the interview with Heather on Nightline tonight but I missed it. I missed it! I taped based upon what it said online. Unfortunately, I forgot that what it says online is an hour AFTER the time I need to tape.

But I looked online and found a webcast for it! Yes. That's what I did at 1:45am. No I haven't been up until now. I went to sleep and ended up waking up for no good reason. But the webcast was a good one. MUCH better than the stunted live interview from The Today Show.

What I found interesting watching Heather on the computer in her office. On the computer in her kitchen. On the laptop in her kitchen. How many computers to the Armstrongs have? I know its a real situation in many homes. It was just funny to see it. But I do love all those HUGE flatscreen monitors.

It was nice to finally see an interview longer than 60 seconds. An interview that used various elements of what was taped. No cutting the segments into 5 second snippets.

Anyway, I sometimes mess up on taping shows. My example above is proof of my blunders. We don't have a DVD recorder. We don't have a digital recorder via our cable provider. I rely on my trusty VCR. But it's only trusty when I set it correctly. HA! There is the rub, eh?

So I will watch episodes that I've missed online. Yes. I use my laptop to watch things I've missed. I adore Some channel sites have great quality. Some even have HD! Lost is one of the shows that you can wee in high-def. But even ABC's regular video stream is of a good high quality. Life on NBC and Battlestar Galactica on Sci-Fi also have great quality. But what's funny is that Eureka, which is also on Sci-Fi, doesn't have the same quality. Such inconsistency from one site.

But I'm seriously so glad that there are a bunch of shows available to watch online. So when it's slow when I'm working then I can open up a website and start an episode I haven't seen. I just started doing but it's SUCH a nice option.

Now do you watch shows online? Any favorites that might be out of the ordinary?
