How the Internet Keeps Me From Getting Cable (TV)


For quite a while now I've been using the completely legal video streaming site known as Hulu.
Hulu is completely free, and even has new television shows!
www.hulu.com
This site has let me stay up to date on some of my favorite tv shows like The Office, The Simpsons, and Family Guy. All the worries I had about needing to get cable tv again faded away after finding this site. The only small downfall I have found is that there are still commercials, although there is only one commercial per break and sometimes you are given the option to watch your show or movie commercial free just by watching a movie preview first. I like using that time to go get a soda or popcorn, so in the end it's all win-win for me. No bills to pay, less commercials, and on demand. 

There are other streaming sites like this one out there on the web, most of them are even put up by the television networks themselves.

I still have cable televsion. When my kids are old enough and leave home though I may consider this avenue. Sound great. Saves you money. Could use this to catch up on shows missed.
