We recently ditched the cable bill, in favor of streaming shows from the internet. Our primary choice for television content so far has been Netflix, which connects seamlessly with our Nintendo Wii.
But Netflix has its own limitations in content. They don’t carry everything.
One of the benefits of releasing ourselves from cable TV is that we are no longer chained to a single pathway for content. A reliable and fun secondary source has turned out to be Youtube!
Not only can you program your own music lists to create your own home version of MTV. You can also load up full episodes of various television shows.
Did we mention YouTube is totally free?
We like this option for older shows not carried by Netflix, be they comedies like The Young Ones, or the Facts of Life or documentaries like the Day The Universe Changed. YouTube also hosts a number of original shows available only on the internet like the strange and hilarious They’re Made Out of Meat.
Check it out next time you are drawing a blank in your searches for new shows.
