It has a great collection of famous TV shows like Seinfeld, Firefly, The Shield and even anime shows. The content\u00a0is well categorized\u00a0along with a search option to help you explore more.<\/p>\n

3. Yahoo View<\/h3>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nA couple of years back, Hulu ended its popular free TV streaming plan leaving several viewers disappointed. Thankfully, Yahoo has picked up the role by partnering up with Hulu and launching a new service called Yahoo View which offers almost, if not all of the content that was previously available on Hulu for free.<\/p>\n
Yahoo View has a vast range of free TV shows across various genres such as Comedy, Drama, Reality, Documentaries, etc. In the kid\u2019s section, you can find famous cartoons like Ben 10 and The Powerpuff Girls. For the anime lovers, this platform offers several\u00a0famous\u00a0series including Naruto (complete\u00a0series), Fullmetal Alchemist, Ergo Proxy, etc.<\/p>\n
The only downside is that the categories do not display all the shows in one place. But you can use this\u00a0directory<\/a>\u00a0to find all the listings in a single page.<\/p>\nWhy use Yahoo View?<\/h4>\n\n- For watching both current and classic TV shows<\/li>\n
- High-quality videos<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
Primarily focused on Indian users, Hotstar is known for its Cricket streams and HBO shows that are available at a very affordable price. However, the service also offers free Indian TV channels like Star Plus, Like OK, and Star Bharat, which makes it a great option for the lovers of Hindi TV shows. You get regional language TV channels as well.<\/p>\n
\n\nApart from the regular TV channels, this site to watch free TV online also provides content from National Geographic, Channel V, FOXLife, and selected programs shows like Malgudi Days, Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, Hotstar Exclusives, Masterchef, etc. As I told you above, if you wish to stream more content, you can choose the paid plan that costs just Rs. 999\/year.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhy use Hotstar?<\/h4>\n\n- Lots of free Hindi TV shows<\/li>\n
- Low-cost premium plan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
5. Popcornflix<\/h3>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nPopcornflix is another free TV streaming site for 2020 that lets you watch free TV shows legally. There are lots of original content hosted on the website across several genres such as action, comedy, drama, horror, sci-fi, etc., rounding up to about 100 TV series altogether. And the best part is you can view them across multiple devices.<\/p>\n
90\u2019s kids looking for some childhood nostalgia should\u00a0definitely\u00a0check out it\u00a0classic\u00a0offerings such as\u00a0The Adventures of Super Mario 3 Bros,\u00a0Sonic the Hedgehog,\u00a0The Legend of Zelda, and more. There is also a special \u201cStaff Picks\u201d section which is a collection of highest-rated TV shows and movies \u2013 a must watch for all.<\/p>\n

6. Retrovision<\/h3>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nRetrovision is the best website to watch free classic TV shows. The best part is, it offers a great collection of classic movies too if you are interested. The content hosted on this platform is available under the public domain and therefore,\u00a0completely\u00a0legal for downloading and streaming free TV series.<\/p>\n
Navigating the website is pretty\u00a0easy, and you will find all the shows listed on a single page. From Sherlock Holmes to Star Trek, Retrovision has an extensive array of shows straight from the \u201850s and \u201860s. In fact, it has\u00a0an amazing\u00a0collection of cartoons for kids like Popeye and Superman back from the old days!<\/p>\n

Many of you would be aware of the Internet Archive\u2019s Wayback Machine as a means to access offline web pages and track a website\u2019s history. Surprisingly, it also features a collection of vintage recorded TV shows, government videos, TV documentaries, event footage, etc. While the overall appearance of this free TV site might not impress you, it has all the important filters like year, topics, creator, language, etc.<\/p>\n
\n<\/ins><\/ins><\/ins>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Why use Internet Archive?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n- Completely free and public domain content<\/li>\n

8. Yidio<\/h3>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nYidio is\u00a0actually\u00a0an aggregator of free\u00a0TV streaming sites that points you towards third-party websites where you can watch a particular show. And there is no point for guessing that many of those hosts charge a fee. However, there is a separate section of free TV shows to stream online.<\/p>\n
It features episodes from\u00a0popular\u00a0shows like Rick and Morty, Grey\u2019s Anatomy, Two and a Half Men, The Flash, Gotham, etc. However,\u00a0I have placed Yidio lower in this list because there are a couple of downsides to it: The free listings aren\u2019t always accurate, and some of it might contain only short chips instead of full episodes.<\/p>\n
Why use Yidio?<\/p>\n
\n- High-quality videos available<\/li>\n
- Hosts several popular sitcoms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
9. CW TV<\/h3>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nCW Network lets you stream some of its content for free on its website. This platform has\u00a0a good\u00a0collection of superhero flicks like Arrow and The Flash. For those interested in supernatural drama can check out series like The Originals or Supernatural.<\/p>\n
However, the content\u00a0is limited\u00a0on\u00a0this free TV series streaming site, and many of them\u00a0are removed\u00a0after some time. But overall the video quality is outstanding, and the streaming is pretty fast compared to other websites.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Why use CW TV streaming site?<\/h4>\n\n- To watch content from CW TV network<\/li>\n
