NBC Direct -- Full and free episodes of The Office, Heroes -- and (pay for?) Life, Bionic Woman, 30 Rock, Friday Night Lights, Conan O'Brien, Jay Leno

For a person who writes a web site about where to download TV shows online, this new NBC Direct program, where you can soon download free and full episodes of 'The Office' and 'Heroes' is the best news I've heard all day.

(Let's hope and pray Mychal Bell being fully exonerated will be the next best news I hear today.)

NBC Direct is getting it right.

With NBC Direct, TV viewers will be able to download full episodes of shows like Life, 30 Rock, Friday Night Lights, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (will they all be free?) and keep them on their PCs for a week before they expire.

When is ABC going to get smarter and offer something similar (for shows like Oprah and The View) akin to NBC Direct?

I get hits all the time searching for full and free episodes of The Oprah Show (like this popular recent one about Jenny McCarthy, Holly Robinson Peete and their sons with autism) that don't exist!

They are leaving it to the YouTubbers to play a cat-and-mouse game of upload-and-take-down due to copyright violations. It's the black hole that Napster first took advantage of years ago when dealing with the demand to download free music online.


Oprah and The View, get your full TV show episodes online ASAP!

One reader offered to pay me for a full episode of Oprah when she interviewed Bill Clinton. I had to tell the woman I didn't have it -- that no one had the full and free episodes -- save for the little snippets of video on Oprah.com.

Unfortunately until ABC catches up with the 21st century and realizes that people want to immediately watch her full shows online -- folks are missing out on the ad and affiliate marketing revenue we will all soon enjoy when they wake up to the demand.

ABC can just make the full episodes free and ad-supported, like NBC Direct is doing.

ABC is already doing great by streaming full episodes (and full seasons!) of its prime-time shows like Grey's Anatomy online, now they just need to throw Oprah and The View on there as well.

What are they waiting for?

Amazon Unbox is making a killing selling full-length, new movies to download and watch online (technically offline) thru their Amazon Unbox player.

Will ABC and all other network stations get wise and follow NBC Direct all the way to the bank?

I suppose I'm glad they did it. It will be good to get the episodes of Heroes that they suddenly, and outside of their current contract with Apple, pulled from the iTunes store. They've left a lot of unsatisfied people over there (yeah, I'm one of them), since they were still under contract when they pulled this move.

I'm just glad I can still get episodes of the show I wanted most. I won't be spending my money there, however, because I can't support that kind of business practice. I don't feel like that's "getting it right" at all. I might still be YouTubing my vids for a while, at least the NBC/Universal ones.

My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update. It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes. How Much Do You Make? Money is funny. The abundance of it, the lack of it, the subject of cash in general gets attention. While some invoke their choice not to post their online income nor discuss it at all, I've always been of the Suze Orman mindset ever since I read her first book. Suze encourages people to talk ab

The more votes the public gives an article, the better chance it should have to make it to the front page. Theoretically...

Getting one of your articles or blog posts to the front page of Digg.com will get your website seen by plenty of eyes.
