Farewell ‘Kings’

Probably because I’ve always been online, I’ve always been a fan of free things online. The more free you give me, the more I traffic your site, right?

Scavenger hunt for ‘The Mentalist’

I’d been hearing a lot of good things about “The Mentalist” so I became interested in watching it. Mid-season, how do you watch now? Online, of course.

It wasn’t on Hulu, my first choice for watching TV shows online. I managed to find a pretty-good quality version of the pilot on…..TV.com. I managed to watch several other episodes on CBS.com. But episode 2? I had to watch a video that didn’t quite match its audio on sidereel.com.

Seriously? Why are we making it this hard, guys?
