Watch NCIS Episode "Silent Night" at Sling

NCIS is a show that's been growing on me for a while.

At first I thought it was just a CSI hack/wannabe, but now I realize it's a better show. It has a good "personality"--the group of characters, who are all part of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, is what makes the show.

NCIS is pretty funny and the odd mix of dedicated agents, including the wacky forensics experts, all led by Mark Harmon's Jethro Gibbs, make the show pretty entertaining.

This one is called Silent Night.

Watch Firefly Full Length Episodes Online

Firefly is a show, created by Joss Whedon of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame, that was pulled off the air before a full first season on tv.

But the show had a second life in DVD and with a sizable and vocal cult following. As a result of the ensuing popularity that came after only 11 of the original 14 episodes were shown, the movie Serenity was made. Featuring much of the same cast, this movie was a hit with fans of the original show.

Firefly takes place in the year 2517 in a world where the United States and China rule the world as The Alliance. The defining aspect of Firefly is that it is a science fiction show with a "Western" bent. The language, some of the music, and many of the story lines can be considered "western movie" themed. It actually is a seamless hybrid of the two genres of movies as they share the same themes of new frontiers and outlaw rebellion.



Firefly is also a comedy, so it's lighthearted and entertaining.

Watch TV Shows Online at Sling

Sling.com is the newest kid on the internet tv block. It's in beta, but it still is hard to call it a kid because it seems pretty darn developed already.

It faces stiff competition from Fancast and Hulu, and actually looks similar to the latter at least when you access a video player. You can watch a lot of tv shows online at Sling as well as full length movies.

Like the other two online tv show and movie websites I mentioned, your program will be broken up by a few commercials.



To get a feel for the site, watch a Survivor: Gabon episode. Also, here's the page for The Family Guy.

I am going to watch a few more shows at Sling and I'll report back.

5 Great TV Shows You May Not Have Seen Yet but Should

Breaking Bad. AMC.

Breaking Bad is a show that stars Bryan Cranston (the dad from Malcolm in the Middle) as a down on his luck loser who ekes out a living as a chemistry teacher at the local New Mexico high school. But he loves his family unconditionally. On top of everything else, he has been diagnosed with lung cancer and needs to decide whether or not to undergo chemotherapy.

But what makes the show so great is how he overcomes his adversity and takes his life into his own hands. He is a very smart guy with a chemistry background and he lives in New Mexico. So how would he go about making money? If you answered, "cooking meth," then kudos to you. He begins to cook meth and sell it. This is where things get crazy. He gets wrapped up in the seedy drug underworld of New Mexico in order to take care of his family. Did I mention that his brother in law is a cop hell-bent on weeding out drug dealers and addicts from society? This just adds to the conflict Cranston's character faces. I like this show because it is exhilirating watching the problems this guy gets into and how he gets out of them.

You never know what's going to happen next in Breaking Bad. But most of all, the show has heart, a lot of which comes from Cranston's heartfelt portrayal of a loving father and husband who is a genuinely good person. At the end of the day, he's just trying to provide for his family. And if he has to become a gun-wielding meth dealer by night, that's what he's going to do. Breaking Bad may sound sort of heavy, but it's actually light hearted and very funny, which is pretty amazing if you look at the subject matter of the show. Breaking Bad was one of the best shows of 2008. The second season starts soon on AMC.

Watch a scene from the first season below.


Mad Men. AMC.

If you think it's odd that AMC had such a stellar year in terms of shows, then you are not alone. In it's first two trips to the plate, the American Movie Channel hit two out of the park with Mad Men and Breaking Bad. Since it premiered, Mad Men has been a critical darling if not a ratings juggernaut. The show has gotten so much praise for the interesting stories it contains, the writing, the acting, and the clothes and set design. In other words, it's been praised for everything, and won several Emmy awards. Mad Men is a stylish show about a New York advertising agency in the 1960's. The main character is Don Draper (John Hamm), and we follow his exploits in the boardroom and the bedroom and get glimpses into his mysterious past.

Each episode of Mad Men weaves in a historical American event and deals with it in an interesting way. The characters seem to talk like people from the 60's and there are all kinds of factual details that pull you into the fictional world of the show. Mad Men will be back for a third season on AMC in 2009.

Californication. Showtime.

I had to add this show because I really enjoy watching it when it comes on every week and I store it on my DVR for months after it airs so I can watch an episode whenever I feel like it. Californication is about a writer named Hank Moody (played by David Duchovny) who basically ambles around Los Angeles, often drunk or otherwise intoxicated, looking for inspiration and vying for the affections of his ex-girlfriend and his teenage daughter.



Californication is an adult show that deals with adult situations (however unreal or fantastic they may be). Hank parties, picks up women, and sometimes squeezes in a little writing. David Duchovny is great in the role, possibly because it's not that much of a stretch from his reality. Evan Handler is great as his agent/best friend. This is an entertaining show and is somewhat similar to Entourage in that it is an insidery Hollywood show.

If you don't have Showtime, you might want to see if you can get a trial period for free. It worked for me--I got six months free. All you gotta do is ask and if you get the right representative, you may get what you want.

A clip from the first episode of Californication. This clip should give you a general idea of what the show is about, ie, Sex.


Season 2 is coming to an end, but hopefully it will be back for a third next year.

The Tudors. Showtime.

If you followed my advice and got Showtime for free, then you will also be able to watch another Showtime original series, The Tudors. Starring Johnathon Rhys Myers, the main character is Henry VIII. This is a good show for pretty much anyone. If you like action, history, or drama and intrigue, then this could be a show for you. Season 3 starts soon on Showtime. You can also watch episodes from the first and second seasons on CBS soon.

Henry VIII has absolute power and he uses it in ways you might imagine. He weds, beds, and beheads without conscience and even goes so far as to start a new church in England. Sure, there are times when you have to suspend your disbelief especially if you know your history, but it's all in good fun. It's entertainment after all.

Watch The Tudors Season 3 Episode 1 free online.





Flight of the Conchords. HBO.

Out of all the shows I listed here, Flight might be my favorite because there is nothing else like it. It really is a show that sprang out of the minds of the two stars of the show Jermaine and Bret, who are in a two-person New Zealand folk rock band trying to make it in the Big Apple.

The humor and situations in Flight of the Conchords are really out there and always clever and cool. They break into funny songs in every episode that help to carry the story. If you like weird comedy, definitely watch Flight when it starts next month.

A clip from the first season. This is a musical number the "Conchords" break into while Jermaine is crashing one of Bret's dates. Watch more Flight of the Conchord clips.

Watch CSI Miami Season 7 Episode - The Deluca Motel

Watch the latest episode of CSI: Miami: The Deluca Motel.

This CSI episode is from season 7 and it's episode 10. It's funny because this show seems like it's been around for a long long time, and I guess 7 years is a pretty long time.

Probably the best thing about CSI Miami is the opening scene where Horatio Cane (David Caruso) first visits the crime scene. In every single episode, right before the opening credits and song start, he quickly delivers a clever line just to get things going.



If you like this show you may be interested in CSI New York episodes online and the most watched show on tv, the original CSI.

Watch Barack Obama South Park Episode Online

South Park is known for keeping its finger on the cultural pulse of America. So it's not a surprise that Parker and Stone would make an episode featuring president-elect Barack Obama and air it the day after the election.

It's probably also not a surprise that the Barack Obama South Park episode would feature the former Illinois Senator as the ring leader of a high tech heist crew, a la Ocean's 11. This is a very enjoyable episode that also pokes fun at the deifying of America's next president.

Watch the episode at South Park Studios.

Watch Prison Break Episode: Just Business

Watch Prison Break season 4 episode 14.

In this episode, Michael and Lincoln compete for Scylla, and T-Bag’s faith is put to the test. Prison Break is an action-packed show full of twists and turns. Watch the new episode right here in this post.

I remember trying to watch a tv show at one of the sites I mentioned when I was out of the country and was frustrated when my attempt to load the video didn't work. But it wasn't that big of a deal--I shouldn't be watching tv shows when I'm on vacation anyway.

But if you live overseas, now you can watch all the online streaming tv and movies you want.

30 Rock Season 3 Episode: Reunion

I've been on a week-long 30 Rock kick. I can't believe I haven't paid attention to this show for almost three years.

How did it slip under my radar? I do remember watching the series premiere and not being blown away. But man what a funny show.

30 Rock is filled with quirky, cutting, and topical SNL-style humor, all held together by clever story lines. Great show. Tina Fey is hilarious and has great chemistry with co-star Alec Baldwin. Tracy Jordan straight up brings the weird.

Watch the latest 30 Rock episode: Reunion. In this episode, Liz Lemon, Fey's character, goes to her high school reunion with Baldwin's character in tow.

5 Reason Why You Should Watch 30 Rock Season 3.

It's funny. This is a given, and it should be because 30 Rock is a comedy. It is really funny.

It's weird. 30 Rock has a quirky, very clever sense of humor to it. It's reminiscent of the humor of Saturday Night Live and particularly the dry, sort of sad-sack humor of Tina Fey's weekend update. This comes as no surprise because Tina Fey created the show and Lorne Michaels produces it.

Epic cast. Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin just work together. Not to mention Tracy Jordan, one of the funniest guys on the planet.

Great guest stars. This season already has featured Steve Martin and Jennifer Aniston in very funny episodes.

The last reason you should watch 30 Rock is because the actress who plays Cerie, the receptionist, is hot. Really hot. See below.

Jennifer Aniston Should be Left Alone

I don't usually get too personal here, but enough is enough. I've seen Jennifer Aniston serve as tabloid sad-sack punching bag for too long. I know that adding insult to injury is the fact that Aniston's "one that got away" happens to be Brad Pitt and she's getting older (although not that old at a rip 39).

She still looks amazing and has a huge draw to her movies.

Watch HBO's 24/7 Episode Online

If you are a boxing fan or just a sports fan in general and you get HBO, then you definitely will enjoy HBO's 24/7.

24/7 is a super-produced, entertaining show about upcoming boxing matches on the pay channel. The next fight is the one pitting Manny Pacquiao against Oscar De La Hoya.

24/7 is pretty much a multi-episode commercial for HBO fights, but that doesn't mean it's a bad show. In fact, it's one of the best sports shows on tv and has an Emmy to prove it. You get a good behind the scenes view of the fighters training for the big night as well as learning a little about their family lives and history. You get some insight into the athletes and what makes them tic as their date with destiny approaches.

Watch a full episode of 24/7 right here.



This show was entertaining, but if you saw the fight, then you know that De La Hoya's career is over because he got owned by Pacquiao. De La Hoya still made tons of cash--even though he threw in the towel. I'll never pay for another De La Hoya fight.

Michael Cera Gets Fired from Knocked Up Video

Granted I'm posting this pretty late in the game, since Knocked Up has been out on DVD for over a year now, but I still thought I'd drop this video for those of you who haven't yet seen it.

It's a video of Michael Cera getting into it with Judd Apatow (director of the movie) on the set of Knocked Up. It's obviously a viral video to promote the movie and possibly a mockumentary on the dvd. It's really funny. You gotta love Michael Cera--that guy is hilarious.

He gets all flustered and throws a hissy fit when Apatow asks him to do take after take on set. Really funny stuff right here. Enjoy.

Watch New NCIS Episodes

NCIS is a very entertaining police procedural tv show.

It's definitely a good watch for those who like shows like CSI and Law and Order. Now you can watch full length episodes of this tv show online. Watch NCIS episodes online.



Here is a brief synopsis of the show from the shows website: "NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) is more than just an action drama. With liberal doses of humor, it's a show that focuses on the sometimes complex and always amusing dynamics of a team forced to work together in high-stress situations. NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), a former Marine gunnery sergeant, whose skills as an investigator are unmatched, formerly led this troupe of colorful personalities. Gibbs, a man of few words, only needs a look to explain it all."

NCIS is a pretty good show with the military police vibe to it. Mark Harmon and Lauren Holly have a funny relationship and history, while the rest of the characters have their own colorful stories and characteristics. If you're a fan of the police procedural, definitely check this show out.

Watch The Simpsons Episode: Mypods and Boomsticks

Watch the latest episode of The Simpsons. This episode is called Mypods and Boomsticks.

The Simpsons is a pretty amazing show. If you think about it, a show that lasts for almost 20 years is pretty unbelievable. It still stays relevant and sort of edgy.

Sure, it has ceded some relevance in pop culture to Family Guy, King of the Hill, and American Dad, but it still is hilarious.

This episode is a spoof on Mac culture and Steve Jobs specifically. Enjoy the show.
