WatchTVSitcoms.Com Review

You should go to http://www.IceFilms.info instead

This is a great website; here's why...

All content is streaming

Like the other streaming movie websites I've recommended (and here), there is nothing to download. As long as you have flash in your browser, you can click play and watch a TV episode or movie without waiting or commercials. Don't expect high quality in movies even though it says "HD". Best to look elsewhere for high quality movies.

Content is never deleted

How is this possible? Why aren't the videos deleted by the copyright holders as with other websites? Well don't go spreading this around, but the content linked on this website is not hosted on youtube, etc. It is hosted "elsewhere"... and for now, it is safe from deletion there.

Complete collections of episodes

This is the value of these link sites. All the episodes for a series are neatly organized into seasons. There are some great programs here such as Entourage, BBC's Planet Earth, Dexter, Miami Ink, etc.

Streaming can sometimes be slow

You'll see a lot of angry comments scattered throughout the site because the video stream isn't starting or isn't fast enough. This is due to the aforementioned content host having bandwidth limits. Refreshing the page often gets the video to start. When the video stream keeps freezing it's because of the bandwidth limits, and the only things you can do there are pause it and wait, try it again during a different time of the day, or dig into the code and download directly from the content host with a multi streamed download manager. That said, this website usually works quite well for me.

Other content that I don't care about but you might

In addition to TV shows and movies there is a collection of music, ebooks, flash games, and sporting events.

There is also a list of broken menu links at the time of my review: Store, Forum, Schedule, and News. I don't know why those links exist. I cant imagine anything important is there.

They got shut down or something for being harassed by the mpaa. I heard of icefilms before they were up and running here, so was hoping to find some news.

Never mind, they got a chat box going now.
