On the Web

Some television channels are all about drama and they create websites dedicated to their shows and to their viewers , so that if we happen to miss an episode it will be right there the next day so we are able to see it. The two most common channels and websites for drama television are ABC and TNT.
On ABC’s website they give you the opportunity to watch the episodes of your favorite series online for free! Some of the shows available are The Bachelor, Brothers and Sisters, Desperate Housewives, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, General Hospital, Grey’s Anatomy, Lost, Private Practice, Scrubs, Supernanny, Ugly Betty and a few others. There is also a schedule that shows what time every show is on during the current week. Also on the website, there are blogs you can read or participate in, games and quizzes about the shows, message boards and widgets. You can also view photos of the characters of the show, information about the shows, bios and episode recaps. They also have tours you can watch of the shows! Even though this site’s purpose is for the shows shown on it, you can also click on a link that will take you to the news for the day.
TNT’s slogan is WE KNOW DRAMA. If we want to watch some good drama television, I guess that is the channel or website to go to! On the site you can watch videos and series online for free also. They also have sneak peeks of the newest episodes. The site also tells us the movies that are going to be shown or have recently been on the channel. There are games you can play and information about sports like the NBA, NASCAR, and Golf. Just like ABC, TNT also gives a schedule of their shows for the day. There is a link to enter a sweepstakes to win a gift certificate to Amazon.com. The two websites are very similar except ABC doesn’t give sneak peeks of the newest episodes and doesn’t have a sweepstakes that can be entered that I know of. I go on ABC.com a lot because I am often busy at the time they are showed, so it helps a lot that they have free viewing of past episodes so I don’t miss an episode!

  1. Have you ever heard of the drama series Lipstick Jungle? If you haven't you should watch it sometime it's really good. Its by the same producer as Sex in the City and very similar. I watch it all the time, its really the only dramatic show I watch. I have only watched one episode on the TV though the rest I watch on my computer because I am too busy and rarely ever home when they are airring. Thank God for TV on the web!

  2. I have never gone to ABC or TNT to watch a TV show but i have gone into the website of MTV. I am just like you where I never watch the new shows Coming on when their time is listed. I either am doing something busy or just forget about it. Most of the time I watch MTV and on MTV they reshow the shows everyday so I do not have to get on the web all the time. Now i do know i could get on ABC or TNT.
