7 Excellent destinations to watch TV Shows for FREE

Over the last several months, in MakeUseOf Directory posts we have mentioned several websites that let anyone freely stream popular Movies, TV shows, Cartoons and other entertainment content. While some of the websites are long gone, some got much more popular and are able to maintain an excellent job at keeping content both up-to-date and free of dead links. Check out some of the better ones below. Listed from top to less preferable ones.

QUICK UPDATE: Unfortunately most of the websites mentioned here are either no longer online or lost the edge. You can check the current best website for watching TV shows on our newly compiled ‘Where To Watch …‘ page.

Top Picks

TV-Links (no longer online) - extremely popular, comprehensive and always up-to-date video directory. Additionally to ‘TV shows’ also features ‘Cartoons’, ‘Anime’, ‘Movies’, ‘Music videos’ and ‘Sport’ categories. Outperforms other similar services in several ways: huge number of shows, lots of good video quality shows, few broken links, full-screen mode and more.

Alluc - Very similar to above mentioned TVLinks. Lists TV shows, cartoons, anime, movies, music videos, sport videos and documentaries.

Sidereel - Wiki-style directory with lots movies and TV shows. In addition to listing links to full-length web videos also lists destinations where you can buy related shows/movies.

Other ‘Live Streaming’ Services

  • TV-Video - TV shows
  • AllOfTV - anime, cartoons, music videos, TV shows.
  • VideoHybrid - movies, TV shows.
  • Peekvid - TV shows, cartoons, anime, movies, music videos and some more

Bonus: Custom Search Engine

MOVIES and TV SHOWS Search (Google Co-op): similar to what was done for ‘Q&A’ and ‘HowTo’ services, this custom google-powered search engine lets you search simultaneously on all ‘free-to-stream’ Movie and TV Shows sources.
