Why Are You Still Paying for Cable? Free Network TV Episodes Online

Yes, you can watch some of your favorite prime time network TV shows without paying for cable or a satellite dish. You can watch them for free. Nobody will report you on Cabletheft.com on you, and these are not pirated videos. These full episodes of your favorite TV shows are available at network web sites.

The trade off may be that you don't get to watch the show when it airs, but if you are using your DVR or TiVo anyway, you are accustomed to watching TV on your time. Here are the top official places where you can see full episodes of your favorite TV shows, and even some episodes of recently cancelled shows.

For each web site, there are technical specifications listed as well as a list of available shows, availability and frequency of updates.

It's getting to the point that paying for cable Internet service and cable TV service is redundant. If you have a fast Internet connection, a fast computer, or AppleTV, or a an iMac with a quality monitor, you may be able to do away with your cable TV bill. If money is tight and you need to make a choice, the Internet may be the better option.

Access to these full episodes of your favorite TV shows also let you catch up on recent episodes you may have missed. How many previous episodes of each show that are available varies from show to show, and from network to network.
