Missed an episode of your favorite television show? Ever been wanting to watch a movie that's no longer being shown in the cinemas?

On SurfTheChannel, you can watch online the TV programs you've missed. And this includes those that you've missed in years! The site features edition of current and past TV shows dated as far back as the '70s and '80s such as M*A*S*H, Punky Brewster and 21 Jump Street.

As for the movies, the selection is vast, from the first Friday the 13th movie to the recently-shown Horton Hears A Who. Yes, even movies that are not yet out on DVD are already available on the site. But what makes it more interesting is that movies which are currently being shown in the cinemas are also already available on the site. Oooh...do I smell a copyright infringement issue?
