Fancast — Because Who Needs a TV Anymore?

We are a family that is happily TV-free. Well, that’s not entirely true. We do have a small set that is used expressly for gaming purposes. Beyond that, though, we don’t watch the Tube. But we do watch the Net.

I frankly can’t stand paying a cable bill especially when most of the time there’s nothing good on TV anyway! Thank goodness for high-speed Internet and the realization by companies (finally!) that families like us will watch sports, TV shows, and movies on the Net. There really is no reason to watch television anymore. Everything you want to watch you can find on the Web. That even includes live programming.

Fancast is one of the largest sites to offer viewing on demand. That means if you miss your favorite show chances are you can watch it later on Fancast.com. One thing to look for: Just because these shows are on the Net doesn’t mean there won’t be commercials. Everyone has to pay the bills. The commercials just aren’t as long and there aren’t as many of them. I can live with that.

Fancast.com offers a range of editorial options in addition to full-length shows like the latest entertainment news and interviews with celebs. You can also watch trailers and movies as well. But as a busy mom I just search for my show or check out their listings and push play. Frankly, that’s all I have time for.

As a blogger I love that I can share shows that I am watching on the social networking sites I spend the most time on like Twitter and Facebook. Plus I can embed clips and shows so you can check out what I’m watching as well. Love that!
