My favorite site is fancast.com. I have been watching the old series, "Have Gun, Will Travel" with Richard Boone. The general morality of this series would not make it on TV today, especially one I just watched with a Christmas theme. I like the old programs much better than the trash that is on today.

I spend so much time in front of the computer that when I watch TV I don't want to do it on the computer. An iPhone/Touch is acceptable. Heck, I watched the entire 5 seasons of Alias on the first iPod video because I wanted to get away from the computer. So I try to keep that from coloring how I feel about watching TV on the Internet/computer. My wife watches shows on her PC all the time. Matt, I agree about the lack of commercials. That's why I pay iTunes money for some, but not all, the shows I watch. It's great to watch 43 minutes and be done with it. Ripping my own DVDs to watch takes time but accomplishes the same thing. @ David Mackey and @Matt D

I just started watching House on Fox.com a few weeks ago, and I don't know if I'll ever go out of my way again to watch a show on TV if I know I can watch the same episode on the internet a few days later. I find the best part of having shows on the internet is the lack of commercials. I've only seen shows on Fox.com, but they play one 20 second commercial where every commercial break should be. That leads to a one hour show being compacted to 45 minutes. Just perfect for ADD people like me. I love TV on the internet.

We've never had cable, so its always been DVDs/VHS, and for the last several years - internet based television.
