Youtube adds full length TV shows & Movies

No Gravatar

Youtube has introduced a new section, using which now you can watch TV shows & Movies  (well some of them) online, and that too legally, and for free.

If you can’t find it on your account go to http://www.youtube.com/shows for TV shows

and http://www.youtube.com/movies for movies

And the list is surprisingly cool as studios like Crackle, CBS, MGM, Lionsgate, Starz have put their stuff on youtube for you :-)

Checkout the alphabetical list and you’ll be surprised too.

Let’s hope this stays for ever and brings in movies and shows from other media houses as well.
