The argument seems so trite at this point, trite but true. Let’s face it, Netflix has gotten expensive and if you’re trying to cut down on costs, we all know cable is the first thing to go. Why deprive yourself of great shows, when online programming is FREE? Why not get in on the action? There are thousands of sites now a days, where you can watch programs and movies with very little draw backs. It’s a lot less hassle than trying to steal cable from your neighbor. If you actually have a TV, simply purchase an HDMI cable and watch all the free tv online until your heart’s content. If you don’t own a TV – dude, what is all your furniture pointed at?

Another neat bonus to watching online programming is all the new and innovative shows that are released for web viewing only. If you’re not an enthusiast already, you may not know that some shows that you see broadcasted on major networks actually got their start online. Be the first of your friends to preview hilarious and captivating webisodes online. Now even major syndications like AMC are getting in on the action. On October 3, AMC released a six part The Walking Dead series for online viewing only, just two weeks before the actual television premier. If that wasn’t reason enough, the next time you miss your favorite show, you can catch up online on most network sites for free. With perks like this, now more than ever is a great time to start watching online.
