No Tivo? Try Fancast!

Posted by Caryn Bailey 3 Comments

Before my husband and I had children, we didn’t even think about whether or not we would be home or available to watch Ugly Betty or So You Think You Can Dance.  These days, we’re fortunate if we get to watch episodes in the same season!  Just when the good shows are starting, we’re bathing our little boy, reading books, and tucking him in for bed.  After that we head downstairs to clean up from dinner.  By that time, we’re exhausted!

Fortunately, you can stay current with a new site called Fancast.  Here is a little more information from the site:

fancastlogoFancast gives fans instant access to an extensive video collection of television shows, movies, trailers and clips, so they can tune-in, catch-up and critique their favorite television programming. Fancast also offers comprehensive editorial and blog coverage with in-depth recaps and analysis on what’s hot and happening everyday in the world of television and entertainment.

To be honest, I was quite impressed with their selection of full length television episodes and movies.  I also like the fact that the site is free (just like television).  I will say that if you have a DVR, you probably record your favorite shows (as we do).  But sometimes there is more than one show on at the same time and we aren’t able to record both so this is a really nice fallback.  

Another great thing about the site…minimal or no commercials…so a one hour show is really only about 45 minutes.  Plus, I can watch it when my husband wants to watch The Office or Iron Chef!  

You won’t find EVERY show on the site, but you will find many.  They’re offered in chronological order and you can even catch up on past seasons.  I know there was a time when my son was first born that I watched little to no television for weeks.  

So if you’ve missed the latest Glee or Dancing With the Stars episode, check out Fancast!  

Profuse thanks to One2One who provided the information for this post.

    I think this is “Fancast”tic (TeeHee) because we missed a show that was scheduled to be recorded on our DVR but because some dumb baseball game ran over…. THAT got recorded and not our TV show… Damn!
    So now, we can go on Fancast and watch the show that we missed — Way Cool!!
