Didn't catch that great Larry King interview everyone's talking about today? Don't want to fumble around with VCR settings to tape that classic X-Files episode that airs at 2:30 in the morning? Your TiVo busting at the seams with unwatched TV? Yep, we all have our favorites, but scheduling in must-watch shows can be a pain. There are plenty of places you can find television episodes and buzz-worthy clips online. You can even use the web as your own (free!) personal TiVo so you watch your favorite shows anytime you want - you might be surprised at how bountiful online multimedia offerings really are.


TV is for suckers

I am not a fan of most shows on the boob tube, mostly because it's a ginormous waste of time to sit through commercials. Instead of watching network shows, I'll either A) wait for the DVD set (i.e., Family Guy) or B) catch 'em on the webernets. Here's just a few sites that can help you get your TV-watching all done and save you from the time-wasting ads.

Technical mumbo-jumbo

We've done quite a few posts here at Lifehacker about optimizing your online viewing experience; I highly recommend that you review our media offerings, check out how to speed up your video playback, and maybe even dabble with some streaming media saving options. What are YOUR favorite web TV destinations? Thoughts to comments or to tips at lifehacker.com.
