You can watch Hawaii 5-0 online at cbs.com. (I'm not sure about Castle.) And I think it's also available on FIOS On Demand, but I'd have to check.Quote:

Thanks, TripleGemini. Castle is available On Demand, usually about a day after it airs. All the ABC shows are. CBS isn't even an option, at least not on my tv provdier, Cox.Quote:

I can for most shows, but CBS does make it difficult because they stream the episodes of what they choose to air online only for a short period of time usually. I just enjoy watching on my own time schedule and frequently watching a lot of episodes or even a season consecutively. It's why I choose to buy DVD sets of shows I want to watch more than once, but I do let the networks know that I won't be buying what they refuse to air online or on demand. My one small voice won't make a big difference, but I choose to try and make it heard. :)Quote:

He even went on to describe each sandwich and talk about how he was eating them to lose weight. Ugh. I was ready to turn the TV off right then and there.
wow and I was annoyed the first season about how the show was a big Chevy commercial! I haven't really been watching this season
That's probably a good thing. If you were annoyed about the Chevy stuff, the Subway stuff would have had you throwing a shoe at your TV!Quote:

I do recall them having a lot of lingering shots of the Chevy insignia in the first season but haven't noticed it as much this season.Quote:

The Subway thing, on the other hand, stuck out to me too. It wasn't just product placement, it was a full Subway commercial!
I know, the Subway placement was incredible!!! He even referred to Jared!! Of course then they had him say he'd ordered 5 of the footlongs...kind of defeating the purpose, but still. Worse than The BIggest Loser and Subway! Really, SUbway, if you are going to do this have it be more casual, like in CHuck.
