I've been waiting patiently for quite awhile for some new episodes of my favourite TV shows to be uploaded, but they never came. It's very strange, I frequent a couple of websites to watch shows (www.alluc.org and tudou.com mostly) and neither of them have been getting any new content for my favourite shows.

Did the government(s) finally crack down on this sort of thing? I don't know. It's weird. Tudou.com should always have stuff because it's a Chinese website and I doubt they'll be able to shut it down.

Where else can I look?

You are aware of the writer's strike that just ended, aren't you?

I have a book on the go right now. Just because I watch TV Shows occasionally doesn't mean I'm a philistine, and quit trolling my posts.

Apparently I'm out of the loop.

There was a huge writer's strike in Hollywood, and production of new episodes basically came to halt in like October or November. The strike just ended, and some shows will show a few new episodes come April or May, while other shows just won't start up again until the new season (September perhaps?). Anyway, if you google your show, and add writers strike, perhaps you can figure out more for certain when it will start up again.

This shows all the TV shows that were affected, and how badly they were hurt.

Ah, good stuff. I see The Office will be back soon. That was the one I've been craving the most.
