31 Showtime original TV shows ranked from worst to best — from ‘Homeland’ to ‘Billions’ to ‘Twin Peaks’
With “Billions” back on Showtime and “Homeland” currently airing as well, it’s a good time to take stock of all the great TV the premium network has brought us over the years. Business Insider went back in time to rank all the network’s notable original scripted programs from the last 10 years based on how well they did with critics.

More important, YouTube TV will feature ABC–which has the Finals broadcasting rights–during the NBA’s championship series in June. That’s a very big win for the Google-owned operation as it seeks to beat its competition in the bid to attract millions of would-be cord-cutters.DT … [Read more...] about YouTube TV just scored a slam dunk with an NBA Finals live-streaming deal
“60 Minutes” Stormy Daniels live-stream: How to watch the big CBS interview without a TV
“Event TV” can be a real pain for cord-cutters. After all, these are folks who have abandoned cable and often prefer to be blissfully unaware of the drudgery of broadcast network schedules. But cord-cutting can leave you in the lurch when a network program comes along that you actually want to watch live. Such is the case with tonight’s episode of 60 Minutes on CBS (airing at 7 p.m. ET/PT), in which Anderson Cooper will interview Stormy Daniels—the porn star who says she had an affair with Donald Trump and was paid to keep quiet about it.

Unfortunately, unless you subscribe to a pay-TV package, your options are limited for streaming it live online or on your phone. We’ve rounded up a few options below, all of which may not be available in certain areas.
