Is There Any Kind of "Episode Reminder" Website?

I'm gearing up for watching a lot of Halloween episode of a number of different shows, but none of them are scheduled to air yet.

Is there some kind of website that lists all the episodes for shows and you can "sign-up" for an e-mail alert when a specific episode has been scheduled to air?

Its just kind of a pain to actually look up each and every specific episode for many shows for 4 weeks to see if something has been scheduled.

I've never run across such a site. Personally, I doubt there would be much call for such a service.

You may want to set up Google Alerts for the programs you want, just limit your search to tv guide websites? Just a thought.

Thanks for the 411.

I'm surprised TVGuide.com doesn't have this feature.

I checked out that Google Alerts thing. The alerts thing is kind of vague. we'll see what happens.

If you have a TiVo with swivel searching, you should be able to find all programs relating to Halloween. Only problem is that program guide only goes out two weeks so you'd have to do it twice. I'd offer to do it for you but my TiVo is OTA only so no cable feeds. I'd imagine once it is October that TV Land will start marketing that on the air or on their website....

Not sure if they have an email reminder service, but myepisodes.com is basically what you've described. You setup your shows and they have all the information for upcoming air dates as well as summaries on past episodes. Only problem is they can be kind of slow adding new shows that are debuting.

Thanks everyone. No sites seem to have exactly what I'm looking for but myepisodes.com seems to be the closest.

I wish I were a web designer.

If you have a mac you can download a dashboard widget that informs you of said information...
