I missed the last two episodes of ABC's American Crime when they aired - this season being a mess part of the reason I didn't make sure to watch or record the episodes - and the ABC website did not have all of the episodes available. There was a verification process and if you did not have the right system you had to wait until 8 days after air date. Then there were blocs of 6 commercials during all of the breaks. If the idea of putting the shows online was to provide an alternative to torrent downloads they lost any advantage they had. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
