- Joost - www.joost.com
"What's Joost? It's a way to watch videos – music, TV, movies and more – over the Internet. We could just call it a website ... with videos ... but that's not the whole story.
We're giving you new ways to find what you'd like to watch. You can search in "traditional" ways – by title or category – or you can find suggestions from other people on Joost. They may be your friends, or they may just be people who have something in common with you – but either way, they can direct you to great things to watch. " (from www.joost.com). Joost opens up with a tutorial to help you navigate and understand the site. It requires a log on and you must download the content. It contains full retro tv shows, standup comedy snippets, comedy shorts and much more.
TVland - http://www.tvland.com/ Excellent site for older, classic TV shows. There are also tv show games, music videos, a documentary series called Myths and Legends, a schedule of their TV land marathons, a smattering of movies and current primetime TV shows. Programs are licensed for a period of time so are not readily available.
NBC - www.nbc.com NBC offers many of their current TV shows on their website - full episodes and webisodes created just for the website with the characters in your favorite shows. You can also watch just snippets, download wallpapers and widgets to your computer, shop their store, and more.
ABC www.abc.com. ABC offers only a bit of their TV shows online as full episodes and a player must be downloaded. I have never been successfull when downloading it.

What great sites to refer patrons too -- now how to get this out to everyone! Congrats on finishing the program (even if you did it out of order. But no one said you HAD to do it in order :)).
I know you'll keep on learning and blogging and challenging us all.
Thanks!
Deirdre
