Hulu has been less than reliable lately, which makes one search for alternatives. Tired of watching lagging streams filled with commercials one might try simple downloading your favorite TV series here: www.icefilms.info
They usually post links to megaupload and rapidshare and feature all the big shows like Heroes, Bones, House MD and Fringe. And it is a pretty fast alternative to steaming, your average episode would weigh around 300MB and would download in 30 minutes.
As always, keep checking back with our blog for more news about free online streaming!

Google adds Movies, TV Shows
Google today added movie and TV show streaming content to its YouTube website. Some of the big names are are Sony, CBS, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, BBC and independent film studio Lions Gate Entertainment. There are advertisements inside the streams and they cannot be skipped, but hey! it's free! A lot of the shows are the "oldies", but you can find some golden nuggets there like the Cliffhanger (1993). To check out their free streams go to a separate section linked from YouTube's main menu, titled Shows.
This is yet another desperate attempt from Google to monetize their online streaming services. The user generated content hosted on YouTube hardly bring any revenue and is hard to pitch to the advertisers, whereas the bandwidth cost to support millions of streams are substantial.
In my view, this is not a serious threat to Hulu as long as they don't bring us fresher TV shows and an expanded collection of online movies. On the other hand, any competition is good for us - users - it will drive up the quality of service and bring down the number of commercials per second.

Find Free TV Shows Online
Here is the typical scenario: you just found out that Hulu doesn't carry your favorite episode of House MD. There is no stopping you, so you set on a quest to find your favorite free tv show online.
Let us explore free online streaming options that are especially good for finding TV shows.
Stage 0: First things first: maybe a TV show you are looking for is REALLY free. Check out ABC, CBS and NBC website, they do have a lot of streaming content freely available and in great quality. Note: this is the only legal way I know of to find your shows online.
Stage 1: You can start by finding TV shows through YouTube and the likes. Often times the streams don't stay there for long and are removed by the copyright owners within a few hours. No need to despair- read on to consider other steps to find free tv shows online
Stage 2: Check out a couple places that aggregate TV streams from a bunch of other sites. To start with SideReel.com is a good option for finding both tv series and movies. If you are into dark web-desings TV-Video.net has a good number of latest TV-shows appearing just as they air.
Stage 3: Finding tv through google. The streams are often name by season and episode s01e03 or s1e03. Try doing a google search with the name of the season and the episode you are trying to find. Don't forget to add the words "free stream" or "streaming". Let's pretend you are a House MD fan: try this search "house s05e12 streaming" or house s05e12 free stream. You might notice that in addition to all the streaming options you get a lot of torrent sites. BitTorrent is a good option if you are willing to wait a couple of hours, so try add house s05e12 free stream -torrent to you search query to ensure you are getting streaming options only.
A note of caution: while searching for free online streams you may notice a phrase "Google TV" flickering by here and there. It is a scam! As of now there is no such thing, but how knows...
Hope this will shine some light on the art of finding free tv shows online.
P.S. All things above are for educational purposes only... of course.
