If anyone is interested in how it works, it uses the TVDB api to get episode data. http://thetvdb.com/wiki/index.php?title=Programmers_API

If the last episode in the series has an "aired date" in the past it's good to watch.

The app is just a simple node/express wrapper around that.

Neat idea.

What about a catalog where I can just look around for stuff, instead of having to search for something I know exists? Would be nice to find shows I haven't watched but can bing watch.

I would also like to be able to filter it to only give me shows that I can bing watch on Netflix or HBO.

Thanks, they're both good suggestions.

Thanks. I thought I was too :) but it seems a lot of people like to watch tv this way.
