The site provides all sorts of detailed information about actors, movies, TV shows, directors, and so on. You can type in a name and Fancast will pull up a biography, photos, and videos. You can also check out "six degrees" and see related projects or order movie tickets through Comcast-owned Fandango. Eventually Comcast plans to add full length TV episodes and movies to the site.
But while the site has far more multimedia content than IMDB, it's somehow less useful. Like Craigslist, IMDb thrives on simplicity. Sure, there are links to photos, videos, and external web sites with more information. But at its most basic level, IMDb lets you do things like find out every movie or TV show an actor was ever in at a glance. And the way Fancast is laid out makes that task much more difficult.

As a Comcast customer whose cable hasn't worked properly for over 6 weeks now with no resolution of the problem in sight, I can assure you that anything claiming to be Comcastic well, let's just say that Comcastic is not a synonym for fantastic.
