If you’ve got a decent internet connection with a comfortable bandwidth then you could consider watching TV shows online directly instead of downloading them. This article discusses five high quality sites which stream TV shows for free. Not all of them may be available in your region though, but no harm in taking a look (And if you are geeky enough, you can always work out a way to access the inaccessible. 🙂 ).
1. Hulu
Hulu is a well known website to watch movies and TV shows online. Its strength is high quality videos and easily accessible channels and categories. You can subscribe to your favorite show in your feed reader. Currently this service is only available in the U.S.
Picrap
Picrap is the answer for those who want to access Hulu outside US. You can access this site from anywhere in the world. It has a collection of more than 1000 TV shows. You can also watch movies, news and movie trailers on it. The most popular TV shows are listed on the sidebar.
Abc
Abc provides quality video streaming service. You can watch high quality episodes of shows like Lost, Desperate Housewives, Ugly Betty, V and plenty more. This website has a neat interface and you can find episodes of your choice easily with the help of search box given at the top. Like Hulu, this service too is U.S. only.
TV Show 7
TV Show 7 is a collection of all the seasons of major TV shows. You can search episodes in the provided search box. Video quality is not very good but you can try this website if you can’t find your favorite show anywhere on the internet.
VIPTV.NET
Viptv.net has a collection of more than 40 TV shows. You can watch Prison break, Grey’s Anatomy, House, Heroes, Lost etc. on it.

If you’ve been watching them online on a different site then do share it in the comments.
