ABC does TV right

Note: This article was published while I was in my early 20s. I was much younger and dumber. Please don't hold it against me. One of the perils of having a 20+ year old website!
The Nine

Last week The Nine, a show about nine people involved in a traumatic bank robbery, premiered on ABC. I don’t really watch too many prime time shows, but I liked the premise and checked it out. This week however, I was at a meeting for the second episode (the show airs Wednesdays at 10pm) and missed it. Luckily, ABC keeps a video archive of their more popular shows online.

Over at ABC.com you can view the current season’s past episodes on The Nine, LOST, and Grey’s Anatomy, among others. It seems other TV Stations offer this too, but I am very impressed with how clean and sleek ABC’s player is. It loads the videos in portions at a time, separated by three 30 second commercial breaks. Then you can resume. You can view this videos at any time after they are added, and it looks like that can be anywhere from 4-24 hours after they air.

So if you miss one of you ABC shows, be sure to go on over to ABC.com and check it out there, assuming of course you have a broadband connection and flash. Later!

  • How Do We Best Teach Programming to Beginners?

    I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how I teach. I tend to take a “learn by doing” approach in my online courses where there are very clear, step-by-step instructions completed via video. However, this format gets pretty tough to execute in other contexts. For example, I teach an online graduate course for the University…

  1. I play Dungeons and Dragons on monday nights and miss Heroes in NBC, which by the way is a really good show. I watch it on Tuesday nights on their website. I think that this internet broadcast is the best thing ever. They just better not start charging for it. I doubt they will, since they are broadcast stations.
