ABC puts all of their new shows online for free


This was discussed before, but finally its live: ABC is the first major station to full TV episodes directly on the web for free, within 24 hours of their innitial airing.  Additionally, you can watch up to the entire current season of many of their major shows.  This is a test service, promised to be free until the end of June, so we don't know what the outcome will be.  Still, for now, you can watch full shows with only a few small (no more than a minute) commercial breaks, and fastforward in between segments (sections up until the commercial break you haven't yet watched).  You can't blow the video up full screen, but the content loads right away and looks pretty good for what it is.  Definately an impressive first step for ABC, expected  to be followed by Fox soon.
