It happens to the best of us, whether there is some sort of DVR related issue or it just slips your mind, it's a bad feeling when you realize that you didn't record a show you thought you did. But now most shows are available online and many of them for free (although if you are dealing with an HD DVR, it still hurts just because it won't be in HD). There are shows available on iTunes, but I just think $2 for an episode is too much (especially for the quality) so I don't really recommend it unless you are downloading for your iPod. Here is what is available for free
CBS has full episodes of "How I Met Your Mother", "The Unit", "Cane", "Moonlight", "Shark" and "The Price Is Right" (so you can check out how Drew Carey is doing). They also have all CSIs, NCIS, Numbers, all their reality shows and some soaps available on their innertube viewer.
NBC is offering full episodes of nearly all their shows, and the rumor is they may make free downloads available due to the dispute with iTunes. Check out all of these series: "30 Rock", "Bionic Woman", "Chuck", "Friday Night Lights"(The entire first season is still available), "Heroes", "Journeyman", "Las Vegas", "Life", "My Name Is Earl", "The Office" and "Scrubs". As you may remember, last year many of these shows were iTunes exclusives (along with the $2 charge), but this year they will be available for free at NBC.com. There are 5 episodes available of each of these shows except for "Journeyman" and "Chuck" which only have the last 4 episodes available which means both pilots aren't available. I hoped that they would follow the same system as last year with every episode of all new shows being available throughout the season, maybe they still will with the other shows though theres no real standout among them.
ABC has "Lost", "Pushing Daisies", "Brothers & Sisters", "Dirty Sexy Money", "October Road", "Desperate Housewives", "Big Shots" and "Carpoolers" and many other shows available through their episode viewer. All of the shows have at least the last 2 episodes available, most have the last 4 or more. You can also stream the latest episode of "Pushing Daisies", "Private Practice", "Dirty Sexy Money", "Ugly Betty", "Grey's Anatomy" and "Desperate Housewives" in HD which does make for a better online viewing experience.
Fox now has many shows available with the new Fox on Demand, "Bones", "Family Guy", "Prison Break", "Simpsons", "Back To You", "House" and "K-Ville". Most of these shows have the last 4 or 5 episodes available.
The CW has the last 4 epsiodes of "Supernatural", "Reaper", "Gossip Girl", and "Everybody Loves Chris" available.
