TV shows online

I have no TV and am considering watching certain programs online. I notice a
lot of websites where one can view TV shows at no charge. Any suggestions
for particularly good sites and for those I should avoid? If there's online
information about how to choose and use these sites, I'd be glad to read it.
I haven't found anything of that sort through Google so far.

Thank you!

I did that already, Leonard. What I got was a long list of websites where
one can watch TV. However, I found nothing about how to choose which sites
are good and which are bad (bad meaning, to me, hard to use or likely to
download malware onto your computer or to change settings that then cause
trouble).

ABC, NBC and CBS, (probably others), have many of their shows available
for online viewing at their respective Websites. I use them now and then
when my DVR screws up.

WWW.HULU.COM is worth a visit.

The trouble with the free sites is that they only (or mostly) have reruns,
they have no current live programming.

Let us know what your research uncovers.

How should /we/ know which websites will be hard for /you/ to use?

Do you have anti-malware software installed on your computer?

Thank you, Bruce! So you don't use Hulu or anything like that to get
programs?

Yes, I have anti-malware software. I'd prefer sites that don't attempt to
get by it, however. My question was aimed at those who might have had
experience one way or the other with viewing programs online.

Thank you, Jeff! I just looked at Hulu. So far, I tried to find some
(ancient) episodes of Star Trek: Next Generation, but all I've seen offered
are excerpts. If I find anything good anywhere, I'll post again.

No. I got a good cable setup. No sense watching TV on a 24" monitor when I
can watch it on a 42".
