ABC
announced today that it will offer episodes of
Lost, Desperate Housewives, Commander in Chief, and Alias on its web site for free. The episodes will have ads
that cannot be fast-forwarded through, but they won't cost the $1.99 that the ad-free version -- available from iTunes
-- would cost. The experiment will start in May and run through June; the entire season of
Alias will be
available, as will current episodes of the other three shows, which will be put on the site the day after they air.
It really is getting to the point where you don't even need a TiVo if you miss something, doesn't it? Just go
online and watch it on your computer. Not a bad second option, despite the ads (and smaller screen)...

That's why I split the difference, and use Windows Media Center on my computer to record things for me.

Hmm I wonder if they'll prevent non-US residents from watching it. Probably will do, but a boy can dream.

I've watched every episode on TV and on webcast. My all time fav and was disappointed to see it cancelled!
Fingers crossed that Commander returns SOON!
