You missed your favorite TV show last night and want to know if you can find it online.

TV networks and cable channels are getting wise to the fact that people like to watch programs at their convenience, not just when shows are originally aired. That's why broadcasters have started offering their programs online.

The good news is that online shows are free to watch, and the quality is quite good (some are even streamed in high definition). The bad news? The shows have commercials and you can't fast-forward through them, which will be a shock to people who've grown used to their beloved TiVos*. But ads are small price to pay for free video-on-demand.

If you happened to forgot to record the latest episode of Lost* or The Office*, head over to Modern Feed*, a website that helps you find and watch every free television program on the Web. Not only does Modern Feed have this season's shows, it also has classics like Star Trek, Hawaii Five-O, and MacGyver. And if you've got an iPhone* or iPod Touch*, you can download many programs to your player and watch them wherever you are.
