Pretty cool. I like the thinly-veiled SEO work in the "See also" section. Smart :)<p>On a show's page, I'm confused by the "Featured series" button that leads to the homepage as seen here: <a href="http://whenepisode.com/coming/t/breaking+bad" rel="nofollow">http://whenepisode.com/coming/t/breaking+bad</a> Since it's a button I thought it would add the show to the featured shows (for my session), but it's just a link.<p>That's actually a "problem" I've been having with series I watch on Hulu, which made me check my queue every now and then just to see that, no, there wasn't a new episode of The Office this week…<p>My way to solve problems is mostly through Chrome extensions these days, so, here is the shameless plug for the extension I built: <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/qulu-–-your-hulu-queue/iggfkakbafpkgjaocfjaoehcclhcjckb" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/qulu-–-your-hulu-q...</a> A badge shows you when you have new shows to watch from your Chrome toolbar.

I like it. It's more series-focused than other sites I've seen, which is easier than flipping through months trying to find when Breaking Bad starts again. (<a href="http://pogdesign.co.uk/cat/" rel="nofollow">http://pogdesign.co.uk/cat/</a>)

Instantly bookmarked. Useful, simple, and no nagging sign up or share buttons plastered everywhere.<p>What are your plans going forward?

A categorization in "running", "on hiatus" (e.g.: Community) or "finished" (e.g.: House) would be nice.<p>Also: a calendar and feature to semi-personalize it, by simply using cookies to store series "to watch". Merge both for a semi-personalized calendar.<p>Speaking of "Episodes", this series is missing ;-)

Wow, great. Searched for a site like this a while now, but never found one with such a simple interface. I would like to have an API though, to integrate it into my current episode-reporting-bot :)

US only? :( A service like this that existed for all online services (country independent) and TV channels (eg: Netflix UK, Netflix US, iTunes, HBO...) would be awesome.

Pretty cool for TV watching! In my case, I do most of my TV watching online - Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, etc. And when I sit down to watch something I spend 90% of my time searching for a show and obviously end up not watching anything :-P Anybody else has the same "problem"? Anybody know of a product that keeps an eye on my different sources and tells me when something new or interesting (for me) pops up?

FYI, "sezon" (sic) is written as "season." Cool project!

Android users, if you are looking for a great way to track your show, you should try out SeriesGuide Show Manager, excellent app: <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.battlelancer.seriesguide&#38;feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5iYXR0bGVsYW5jZXIuc2VyaWVzZ3VpZGUiXQ." rel="nofollow">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.battlelanc...</a>.

Really good job on this. One feature that you might want to think about is adding support for timezones. I live in Europe so I have to re-calculate all times in my head. It would be nice to have an option to set a specific timezone.

Dude, you should put an about page. Link to who you are, why you did this, how do I find you? (Twitter, FB etc. This is a really good piece for your portfolio.<p>Good developers (who have ideas &#38; are proactive) are always in high demand!
wubbfindelover 12 years ago
Really nice! Maybe I'm missing it, but a series filter would be great on the home page. I'd like to type the name of the program I'm interested in and just hit enter. Gonna bookmark this either way and see how it develops.
suhastechover 12 years ago
Awesome.<p>Give me an email notification option for when they'll be aired and this will be perfect.

Looks great! A web feed (and/or email notifications) of selected shows would be helpful.<p>By the way, a similar service for album releases: <a href="https://muspy.com/" rel="nofollow">https://muspy.com/</a>

I have been using <a href="http://episodecalendar.com/" rel="nofollow">http://episodecalendar.com/</a> for this, to manage my shows and where im at. Does anyone have similar picks?

Nice work, very impressive for a weekend project! Did something similar a couple years ago called <a href="http://remembertowatch.com" rel="nofollow">http://remembertowatch.com</a>.

This is great. If you could then link each episode to a torrent on the pirate bay and notify me each time a new episode is released, you would be my hero.

Can someone explain what is the difference between this and existing ones like: <a href="http://onmytv.info/" rel="nofollow">http://onmytv.info/</a>

for me theres too many missing shows for this to be useful. Just because I'm american I dislike the date formatting. The list by seasons should be in reverse order from the latest, because really isn't that what matters. Theres a lot of other resources for this, but I'd like to see it in a weekly type view, but again theres too many missing shows.

Great idea! On the long run, if you keep it as simple as possible and clutter free, you'll have a winner. Good job.

Please add support for showing the air time and (if you select your TV provider) channel.
perchanceover 12 years ago
I use www.mytvrss.com which can be customized for specific shows.

What about adding a feature for email/sms/calendar reminders?

Didn't have the first show I went to check. (Shark Tank)

Needs more Adventure Time! Other than that, nice.
