NBC.com Takes Us Through the Summer

By  | 

From the past to the present, NBC.com expands even more into the future – of television viewing, that is. In an age where we can now take our ‘televisions’ with us, via our laptops and wireless networks, there can be no excuse for missing your favorite shows. Also, if you are like me, and your DVR is the thing you use to cook your meals on, it’s become so hot, you need another way to catch all the shows you love.

Or perhaps you miss some of your oldies-but-goodies. Like the original Battlestar Galactica, or Scott Bakula before he was Steve Bartowski. Do you miss Kath & Kim, Lipstick Jungle and My Own Worst Enemy? Perhaps you heard about Chuck Me Mondays and would like to join in! Now you can. Read this press release from NBC:

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – July 07, 2009 – NBC.com is helping fans enjoy the summer with full episodes of the hottest new NBC summer shows and favorite NBC programs from this past season. From “America’s Got Talent” to “The Office” to full episodes of some of TV’s most beloved hits from the past, NBC.com has the perfect entertainment for lazy summer days.

For the first time in its history, full episodes of summer blockbuster “America’s Got Talent” are streaming on NBC.com, joining full episodes of other summer programs “The Philanthropist,” “Merlin” and “The Listener.” Episodes of “The Great American Road Trip” join the line-up on NBC.com following its on-air premiere tonight at 8/7c.

Fan Favorites and Staff Picks also make their debut this summer as part of NBC.com’s Summer Roundup. For fans interested in catching up with their favorite episodes, or those just curious to sample the best of other programs, Summer Roundup offers an easy and informative entry into NBC’s line-up. In addition to the most popular episodes viewed by fans, NBC.com’s staff weighs in with their own personal favorites. Here’s a taste:

Laura, an NBC.com staffer whose favorite summer food is ice cream, said this about the “30 Rock” episode “Believe in the Stars”:

“Oprah on 30 Rock! Need I say more? Okay, fine… if Oprah isn’t enough reason to love this episode, check out Tracy and Jenna’s hilarious social experiment to determine who has it harder: white women or black men. 30 Rock is great at mixing silliness with highbrow comedy and social commentary. If you’re not already convinced, watch this episode and you’ll see why 30 Rock is the smartest comedy on TV.”

Heroes fan KMF4685 had this to say about the “Heroes” episode “Dying of the Light”:

“I really like Arthur Petrelli as the super-villain. Not only is it intriguing because he is connected to almost every main character on the show, but also because his power is the greatest power that we have seen and the most threatening for the Heroes to go against. How can you not like that?”

And what TV fan wouldn’t want to go back in time to enjoy Classic TV on NBC.com. But it doesn’t stop there. NBC.com also has all-new full episodes of “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien” and “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.” And then there are the retro-thrills of NBC.com’s Classic TV, with favorites such as “Miami Vice” and the “A-Team.” We pity the fool who doesn’t get a kick out of these!
