Prime Time Rewind Tries to Take Online Viewing a Step Further

One of our first posts was about Fancast, a catch-all site from Comcast with TV listings and online episodes of dozens of current and former shows. In that vein, we bring you Prime Time Rewind, which we found thanks to the folks at Media Daily News. PTR is a cool site that gives you immediate online access to almost every major show. (Watch out for the web address, though, since it ends in .tv, not .com.) The site is cool and promotes the always popular concept of one-stop shopping. Plus, the creators were smart enough to include not just the broadcast networks, but also USA, TNT, Bravo, aka the major cable nets. I also love the Rubik's Cube-like interface.

Apparently, you can also personalize PTR so you just have your lineup of shows. I didn't make it that far, but it sounds like a great feature. These guys have put some serious thought into this and it shows. Though I've only played around on the site a bit, it seems to be very fluid and well thought out. One plus over Fancast is that the listing of shows is easier to maneuver. Fancast just has a large list, which is very overwhelming and tough to sift through.
