This is one of those cool websites that when I open for the first time I usually say : "Oh that's awesome, I should bookmark it and use more often" and then after 1 hour It's totally forgotten until the next time I clean my bookmarks.

Anyway TV Shows episode calendar is really useful and I think it's a nice idea to have this information arranged in this way.



I've been using episode-alert.com for the past year to track TV shows. Really useful. It also sends you an email when a new episode is out.


Shout-out for sidereel.com

They send emails for new episodes, and also allow you to mark episodes as watched, which is great for working through archives.

I only wish they had something for movies as well.


maybe check out https://trakt.tv/, I have been using it for more than 3 years and it's absolutely amazing. It even has multiple mobile apps, I personally use SeriesGuide on my android phone.


I had the same use case as you, so I built a similar app except instead of a GUI, it sends me a text message. Right now I have it fire when a new episode of Silicon Valley is posted.

I really should polish it up and release it. This is the second or third thread where other people have mentioned a similar need.


I've used http://episodecalendar.com/ for 1-2 years already, it's great.


Several other people have commented on their solutions, but my favorite solution is tvmaze.com/calendar

It's easy to create an account and mark your favorite shows so you get a custom calendar, or you can view a calendar with the overall most popular shows.


Your only choice is to make it your home page! :)
