If there’s one thing about geeks that’s true, it’s geeks love their TV. They love their computers more but TV is a definite second while TV on their computers is wasteful sweet, sweet perfection. The problem with watching TV these days, is no matter how you get your program information, it’s sometimes not easy to keep track of the important stuff. Such as what all the episodes titles are per season, what each episode was about or more importantly when did they first air a particular show/series and in what specific order?
This is especially needed for anyone catching up on older TV shows on DVDs, services like Netflix / Blockbuster or making sure that their recorder is going to tape a new episode of a show and not a freaking repeat. Repeats suck.
So how do you make sure of this crucial information? Enter a lovely site called Epguides.com.
Epguides.com is a massive index of over 4900 TV shows, past or present! You can find complete episode listings of just about any show that’s ever aired in the United States by searching for it on a nice, simple and clean Google-like layout. Each show has a simple episode listing that displays episode #’s, production #’s of the episodes, original air date and episode title. There’s also a simple cast listing up at the top. There’s no stupid flash, dumbass multimedia contact or anything other than a nice simple listing with links on each episode title so you can get an summary of what each episode is about.
There are also links to get a printable episode list or go to Wikipedia or IMDB for more information.
Epguides comes in real handy when you’re catching up on a show and taping it or want to know if an upcoming episode is a rerun or not. It also helps you realize that when you forgot to set your recorder the other night it was a new show you missed and now you have to download it off of bittorrent iTunes or wait for the episode to re-air.
