This Thrifted Life

While I have to admit we do have cable–why oh why is a package always cheaper than just internet alone?–we actually tend to watch shows online. We’re way too cheap to have a dvr, yet we miss shows we like all the time (it’s this thing called life). So we just catch up on The Office or Fringe when we have time to sit down and click on that little icon. TV doesn’t rule our life, and there is tons of free content online.

hulu–The ever-popular tv site where you can watch shows for nada. Hulu rocks.

Network sites–Websites for channels like cbs.com and fox.com post lots of their episodes online. You can usually only catch up on the last few, though–so don’t dilly dally.

HGTV.com–Love interior design and real estate? HGTV also has plenty of full episodes online for you to enjoy.

The best part about watching TV online? Very limited commercials! We’re usually only exposed to 2-3 (if any) ads when watching something online, as opposed to dozens during one episode on the tube.

And don’t forget dvds–we don’t really enjoy keeping up with TV shows, so we tend to wait until a series or a season finishes up and premieres on dvd before we watch it. And there’s always zero advertisements when watching this way!
