TV on the Internet

I've been spending a lot of time at this site:

http://www.tv-links.co.uk/

It has a huge range of programs including shows on tv now like Weeds and Heroes. It basically has 3 categories: TV shows, Cartoons (my favorites are The Venture Bros. and Robot Chicken) and Anime.
I'm 3/4 of the way through the whole run of the X Files. Oddly, Season Four is missing! Perhaps it's time to call in Mulder and Scully...
For Vancouverites like me, it's fun to see people I know, like Jacques Lalonde, Claire Riley and Lorena Gale. Even saw Morris Panych in one episode. He's pretty sinister as a body-burning doctor.
Of course, the locations are fun to revisit, too.
In the same vein, check out the old episodes of the Twilight Zone. A true classic.

Another site worth spending time at is this one: http://www.jonhs.net/freemovies/#free_movies
which features one of my favorite NFB animated short, The Man Who Planted Trees, a truly poetic and inspiring story narrated by Christopher Plummer.

All these play with Google video or some similar player so most people (PC users anyway) won't need to install any new software.

The best part?
NO COMMERCIALS!!!
