Seems like everyone is running to the web these days as a secondary broadcast option. NBC did it a long time ago and now a couple more big names are heading that direction. Viacom will be adding an assortment of its shows to Fox-NBC joint-venture HULU - yeah, finally we'll be able to see full length episodes of "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" rather than the ridiculous little clips we've been getting off of the Comedy Central website.

Disney is also stepping into the online world by rebroadcasting movies on Disney.com after they air on ABC's Saturday night programming. Now we can enjoy Finding Nemo again and again and again.

7:00pm Attack of the Show: The Best of Olivia G4 - Over the past two years AOTS co-hostess, Olivia Munn, has licked gadgets, slipped in baby oil, mispronounced MC Hammer, imitated Juno, swallowed hot dogs, dressed up as Wonder Woman, had a make out session with another woman and even lost her lunch - all in the name of creating good television. “Attack of the Show” is celebrating her accomplishments with a one hour special.
