Fancast is a service by the cable provider Comcast who streams dozens of popular tv shows from Battlestar Galactica to The Office and The Unit free on their website. The service is available to viewers with a US IP only which means that everyone else will not be able to view the tv shows unless they hide their IP with a service like Hotspot Shield.

What are you normally doing when you miss an episode of your favorite tv show, no matter if its 24, The Sopranos or Pinky & the Brain ? I know what you are doing. You are looking for a way to view the episode before the next one is aired which can be quite a problem if it is either a daily show, no reruns are in sight or a new show without DVD releases.

Yes, this is even better than the website that offered about 700 shows. Actually the 700 show website used content from guba.com as a source for their shows, but guba offers more of them. All videos belong to one of eight categories (cartoons, comedy, documentary, drama, foreign, miscellanous, music videos and sports).
