Talk about a technological morning! Today I Skyped with a friend who’s working in Palestine, and she told me about a Chinese version of YouTube that has full episodes of tons of American shows.
The site is called YouKu, and though I don’t read a lick of Chinese, I still found it easy to find English-language programming. Typing in “Law & Order,” for instance, got me right to every episode from the current season.
This site could be useful, since it’s impossible to DVR everything and sites like Hulu sometimes take content down. Also, I noticed that you can get full episodes of pay-cable series like The United States of Tara.
Granted, the networks may yank all their content once they realize it’s there, but I feel like it’s possible they don’t have legal sway over a Chinese site. At any rate, live it up while you can!
For more TV On Demand (in English), I heartily recommend Sling.com. Thanks to Sling—and the persistence of Roommate Joe and Tara, a Sling blogger/editor—I have started watching The Paper, a kick-ass MTV reality series set at a high school newspaper. I know… I was dubious, too. But you should watch it. It’s like the movie Election brought to life. (You can Sling it here.)
