ABC Full Episode Player Review Summary
Wondering where to go when Tivo isnt enough? ABC's Full Episode Player! ABC offers full episodes online and it is a big hit with Viewpoints members.

Most HelpfulFavorable Review
Ever come home from an evening out only to realize you missed a show you normally watch? Maybe you go to Tivo and find that some scheduling glitch (Sports Event) tricked the system. It does happen. Or maybe you just discover a new show that you enjoy and wish you could back the series up a little...

Why should I have to download the 32mb ABC Video Player onto my computer, when NBC and CBS allow you to view online episodes right from their websites, with no software downloads?
Also, the ABC player 'window' is one size only, and I can't even access the controls at the bottom of the page. It won't...

I do not have cable right now and that makes this on-line viewer even more awesome. i get to watch the shows i love at my own convenience and for free! being a mother of two both of those things are super important. if my kids don't go to bed when i want them to i don't miss my shows. if they wake up in the middle of a great part of my favorite show i can pause and resume when the peace and quiet settles in again. my husband and i always watch certain shows together and others apart. its a pretty cool concept, and its working out for us. now on the other side, i really don't like having to get...

Bravo to ABC for making many of the shows from their current season available online for free!! I love many of the ABC shows, Eli Stone, Ugly Betty, Boston Legal etc. and I really enjoy being able watch them whenever I can afford the time.
With that being said, I think that the ABC Full Episode player leaves alot to be desired. I can tollerate watching the same commercial 5 times in a row, but I don't like having to get up just to click the mouse once. (I watch shows from across the room). My husband and I have discovered that we can choose to watch all of the commercials before watching...

The new TV season has started, but I am busy at the computer and don't have a recorder. The solution is to watch the shows on the Internet whenever I want. Many channels offer this, but the full episode player at abc.com is the one I watch the most. It is easy to get. If you have to add anything, they tell you in plain English, not computer speak, and the process is quick and painless. The shows have good photos and descriptions. There are short commercial breaks, but they're not as long as television breaks, and I use the time to look around the room and give my eyeballs a break.
The picture is...

Another interesting bug was that the commercial breaks would happen, but no commercial would play, just dead air.
Fix the kinks and this could be a decent player...
Until then I'll go back to hulu and grab LOST episodes with a torrent.

This is great. I'm following a couple shows that are on at conflicting times. Now I never have to wonder what happened on a show I missed since it's available 24-hours after it airs on TV. don't have TIVO, so I use this to watch shows I have missed or re-watch episodes that I really enjoyed. It's very user-friendly. so the only complaint that I can think of is having to click back to the program after every commercial. Luckily, there are limited interruptions, so that's not too much of a bother!
