How quickly we become spoiled… I don’t know when the first TV shows started being officially watchable online, but I now find it outrageous and frustrating when a show from within the past year or so is not either streaming free or available on the iTunes store, or something like that. My wife and I want to watch Over the Rainbow, a reality singing competition that BBC ran in March of 2010, and we can’t find any legal way to do so… I’d happily pay $2 an episode or so to get nice full resolution high quality streaming of it, but they don’t want to take my money!
Furthermore, while googling around trying to find out if I could watch it, I accidentally spoiled the identity of the winner. Grrr!
Well, I think American Idol is unavailable, but perhaps that has changed.
Eureka is unavailable in Canada (other than live of course). I watched the first 2 or 3 seasons on Itunes, hunted down a website where I was able to watch up to the first half of season 4 but I’ve had zero luck finding a location to watch the Christmas episode or anymore of 4.5.
Jeopardy seems to be officially unavailable in the US. Sometimes it is on CBC and occasionally that can be seen in the US, but insofar as I can determine, is usually not available in the US
Drive.
Six episodes were made, but only four were aired. All six were available online, but only through one site, and the streaming spped made it impossible to watch. And they eventually took it down. It’s not on YouTube nor is it on Netflix.
