With the popularity of our complete guide to online music, we decided to put together another complete guide: this time focusing on watching TV shows, movies, and other videos online.

There are literally hundreds of sites that let you watch professionally-produced video content online so you never have to worry about setting your VCR or DVR for fear of missing your favorite programs.

As far as we can tell, these sites are legal because they only link to copyrighted videos; they don't actually host them on their own servers. That means sites like YouTube, Google Video, and Dailymotion are doing all the heavy lifting. Of course, we've also included a smattering of sites that do hold the rights to the videos they post online.
