I know there are sites that you can watch free tv shows on. I want to watch shows like The First 48, Rescue Me, and COPS. I cant find one that is legit to be honest, I've tried Googling it but many are US only, or you have to pay so much.

I think the major American TV networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) allow you to stream recent episodes starting the day after they are broadcast. Many TV shows can be streamed trough Netflix and HULU Plus in the US with a monthly fee.Amazon also allows TV streaming with a subscription (some shows have a per episode fee.) I'm not sure if any of these sites are accessible in you country. There are also devices like Roku that allow you to connect your TV to a wireless router and then stream Netflix, HULU, and Amazon to your TV.

Well, you get what you pay for. I don't mind paying $8 a month for Netflix because it has some science fiction shows I never saw the 1st time around. Show like Lexx and Farscape. It also has a lot of shows from BBC America that I don't set to see since I cut back on my cable service. Some of the shows you cited are on smaller cable networks who probably don't want their shows streamed for free because they might be holding out for DVD sales.

I dont want to pay anything for them, I had Netflix and it was complete crap and a waste of money. I may look at the actual site such as ABC, FOX and so on see if I can get it.

Cops is on FOX Network, Rescue Me on FX, and The First 48 on A@E TV. I did find on Hulu The First 48 and Rescue Me and I use it for free. I only found clips of Cops. Good luck and hope your able to use Hulu.

I"ve watched from the channel site...like ABC to watch a soap opera I missed. I have watched from Hulu tooo.My problem.. I have no interest in watching much while sitting the PC..how uncomfortable! And to see it on that small screen? Granted our first TV was a 12 inch black and white model, and my screen is in color and 15 inches, but still.. I like to sit back and sit comfortably and enjoy it not be hurting when I get up!~

For the majority of the shows that I enjoy watching, I have found that you are able to watch the vast majority of them for free by looking on the website of the station that the shows come on. This is what I will do in the evenings before I go to bed if there are episodes of the shows that I didn't have the opportunity to dvr them. In addition to that, though it is not free, I really do think that NetFlix is a great investment because there are so many programs that are available on there and there are also a lot of great movies on there as well. You can either watch through your computer or with a supported device on your television, like an XBox 360.

I go to Ch131.com to watch tons of shows for free. I don't really know if it is US only though. But you can give it a try anyway! =)

I dont have patients especially when these sites say they offer this or that yet they dont, its a scam, or they expect money in the end.
