So last night I stayed up and watched Heroes instead of 24. (Yes, feel free to gasp and throw rotten tomatoes at me.) It was the mid-season premiere. I missed Peter. Well, Hiro anyway. And maybe Sylar.
About two minutes in I said, “Did I miss something? Is this the second hour? What’s going on?” And by fourty-five minutes in I realized, “No. This is just the most insane show ever.” It’s like every season they just make up a brand new story for our Heroes to play out. Last season was actually about fourteen new stories. They have one more week before I jack Jack back up to number one on my Tivo’s Season Pass. (Well, number one under LOST, of course.)
Anywhooo…
I was thinking I totally need to watch the previous episodes online. Then, I remembered a post I saw at Kingdom First Mom the other day about free online entertainment and it reminded me of this super cool new-to-me site called Fancast. Have you heard of it?
OK. You can totally watch EVERY TV SHOW online. I scrolled through and found all my shows (LOST, 24, Hereoes, Biggest Loser) and some shows from stations that I don’t even have. Like for some unknown reason we don’t get The Food Network. (Don’t you think that should be like basic? Yeah, well tell it to DIRECTV!) So, hello! Fancast has every show of Rachael Ray, Paula Deen, Emeril and my best bud Alton Brown!
AND! AND! Noggin! We don’t get Noggin! Fancast has a ton of Noggin shows. Also, shows and movies from Disney Channel (yes, even that big high school musical) and some old skool shows like The Smurfs. There are lots of times I’ve been somewhere with my computer and tried to find full-length shows for Lydia to watch and just didn’t know where to go. Now I do!
Not to mention Fancast has a boatload of free full-length movies to watch for free. There weren’t a ton I was interested in. But I did notice Rocky IV. And Yentl. I know, they totally don’t go together but I saw them both when I was a kid. So. Whatever.
(Parental Red Flag: Fancast does have free rated R movies on it.
So, I’m not sure it would be a great place to let your kids just totally hang out on by themselves…)
What I was really more interested in was just that all my TV shows could be in one place. I never remember which network has what show because my Tivo thinks for me. (By the way, when is Tivo going to start paying me commission?) And it’s kinda youtube-ish in that you can embed the shows, rate them, get recommendations, and even an RSS feed to your faves. Not to mention there are blogs about my favorite shows (yes, there’s a LOST blog. Great day in the morning!) and I love the fact that it’s a clean easy site to navigate. Clean sites make me happy.
They also have the ability to download entire seasons for a fee. But really, why would you do that when there are 45000 hours of free shows and movies to watch?
OK, end of commercial. Just thought you might want to abandon the dishes, or laundry or whatever it was you were working on to watch some more TV…just online at Fancast this time!

Girl, I totally did that too (watched Heroes instead of 24). I’m watching 24 right now on fox.com. 🙂
Gayle Rogers says
Something is wrong with me. Those shows take brains to watch, so I’ve never really watched them. I need real shows like The Bachelor, Biggest Loser, you know, shows that make you feel better about yourself.
Thanks for the tip on Fancast!
Liz says
I can’t believe they’re not giving you Food Network. We just got the basic package, and we’ve got all the good stuff. Maybe it depends on your region?
TCKK says
Hey, thanks for the info. I’d never heard of that site. But I’m sure I’ll be checking it out.
Have a great day!

Ok, yeah, Heros was weird!….or just being itself? I’m a bit (ok, A LOT!) annoyed with their not (ever?) sticking to any plot or story line. I also don’t think that they know how to keep characters true. I can’t keep up with waffling characters (or ones who are on one side one ‘season’ then a different one the next). *sigh* I’m almost done. Almost. I wonder though…..if the plane with split up mid air and crash on an uncharted island with weird things like polar bears……? 🙂
misty says
thats really cool!
ok. about heroes…
i LOVED Season 2. LOVED IT…
But that last chapter we saw. The Villians one… UGH. I can’t stand the show now. (except Sylar. I really love him- good or bad) My husband eagerly parties for Monday’s premiere while I promptly took myself to the movies.
Jodi says
OMGoodness, Heroes? I know! It was nuts, wasn’t it? At first I just thought it was the long gap since the last episode and my mushy brain, but no. Nothing made sense at all. (And, I’ll admit I was already a little lost on the new alternate Nikki/Jessica character with the freezing powers… are we supposed to get what that’s all about?!?)

By complete accident, I found something that is so cool I just had to share it, and it is time sensitive. It’s a giveaway of sorts. You get a completely free professionally managed Forex account with $100 in it. The hope is that you will spread the word and get others to take a look. I signed up myself and there were no tricks and they didn’t ask for any sensitive info or anything like that. I suggest that you go check it out for yourself. http://prelaunchx.com/x/forextex

Today was a good day. I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn’t work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness. Today was one of those days to be remembered. I got something pretty cool. Even though I could have just downloaded it from the internet. I received this package in the mail. This package includes tricks to use with classifieds, blogs, forums, social sites, article marketing, news networks, text links, video marketing and much more. I really don’t think that any web marketer should be without these tips and tricks. If you want to take your blog to the next level then this package is something that you really need. Check it out.. http://tinyurl.com/86e6egy

I comment whenever I like a post on a site or I have something to contribute to the discussion. Usually it is caused by the passion displayed in the article I browsed. And after this article Free Online TV Shows & Movies at Fancast | ohamanda.com. I was moved enough to post a thought 🙂 I do have a couple of questions for you if it’s okay. Is it simply me or does it look like like some of these comments appear like coming from brain dead visitors? 😛 And, if you are writing on other places, I’d like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post. Could you make a list all of all your community sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
