Meego online

Here's an apparently free way to watch TV online, ads and all (though pretty low-rez). (Here in Europe we don't have Hulu and Netflix.)

I found it while trying to see if "Meego" was ever put on DVD. I remembered this sitcom from the late nineties. The writing was never better than OK, but it does have three good actors: Bronson Pinchot, "Serge" from Beverly Hills Cop (the hilarious art gallery clerk), Michelle Trachtenberg who later played Buffy's (Vampire Slayer) sister, and the little Jon Lipnicki, the kid from Jerry Maguire.

The show was cancelled after a half season, no great loss, but I do think that Pinchot and Trachtenberg are amongst the many sadly under-used actors.

Yes, I remember what a hoot he was in that. Was just looking @ IMDb and noticing several things I did not know that he was in; and...his interesting/surprising personal quotes. (Personally, I wish Eddie would do something HILARIOUS like 'Beverly Hills Cop,' again. He was really good in that, as well. :-)

Yeah, his star has really faded too.

I think "Holy Man" (I think it was called) was pretty funny though. Oh, and Bowfinger was nice, and had Heather Graham in it, always a plus.

Thanks! That's a couple I haven't seen, yet! (He and Steve Martin must cause quite a ruckus together! Quite a few "big names" in HM, as well. I've always had a "soft spot" for EM, myself. :-)
