More details to this question:
There's a show that I watch on TV that I've found on a website. I was wondering if it's legal for me to view this online. It's free and already online (I wouldn't have to download it).

Many networks, distributors, and producers make their programs available to be watched on-line for free. Check to see if the business that is offering the shows has the right to do so, otherwise they're probably violating U.S. Copyright Law.

Yes, it is legal to watch in the US, unless it is obscenity.
