Yahoo! TV Fall Preview 2006

I just received a tip from our resident Yahoo! spy concerning a Fall 2006 TV Preview site that has just opened. Based on the press release, it will have the full series premieres for "Jericho" and "Heroes" and is also providing the premieres of "Vanished" and "Prison Break" which have already aired.

I browsed the site briefly and it seems to have some decent quality video with good loading times and an overly fancy animated interface. Many of the new shows mentioned on this blog thus far seem to be involved. My main hope is that this isn't as far as the site goes (I have no idea what plans are). If this could be expanded to a full, regularly updated site over the course of the season then this could be a very interesting resource. I can imagine a consolidated location for looking at trailers for upcoming episodes, archives of old episodes/clips, and whatever else the typical TV junkie (such as most of our readers) desires.

There are plenty of resources on the web already for text-based data about TV shows, such as schedules, (p)reviews, episode recaps, cast listings, or whatever else, but there are very few well-consolidated locations for video content. Youtube and other self-upload video archives used to be okay for this, but with recent crackdown by the various production companies, much of the stuff you'd want to see gets taken down quickly.
