Purely Top TV’s Birthday

February 19th, 2010 by Admin No comments »

This time, one year ago, Purely Top TV was founded on the ideal that access to streaming TV shouldn’t involve wading through masses of Popups and extremely fast blinking ads, and that you should have open access to a stream, without having to fill out pages of “Surveys” or “Offers”. And here we are today, still going strong.

To celebrate our birthday, we have undergone alot of recoding of the site to make it faster,  cleaner, and more accessible then ever. This is really only the start of our transformation, and we are definitely looking towards a more community feel. With outsiders coming in and adding embed links, or even links to their own site. We are a bit off that just now, but we are striving to reach that goal.

Here is a quick list of what changes are being released today :

Cub3r Flash News
The front page now contains a small Flash box/cube that has our latest news on it. We found that people aren’t interested in big long pieces of text, and they quickly want to read the headlines and move on. Well, you can quickly flick through the latest news, and then move on to watch your shows.

Latest Additions
The front page also contains (on the left hand side) a box that has our latest additions. So you can immediately come just to the homepage, and see if your shows have been put up yet.

TV Schedule
While still in its infancy, this is quite a handy feature. To the right of our “Latest Additions” is a quick TV Schedule which will tell you which shows are on which day. In the future we are hoping to move this to its own page, and let you guys know when shows “Skip a week” as they often do etc.

Top Shows
Shown along the bottom of the homepage, this lists the top 5 shows with the most views this week. We are hoping to eventually show stats over time, which how shows are rising or lowering in popularity. But for now its handy to find a hot new show to watch.

New View URL’s
Although most of you hardly will notice. We used to have () or “brackets” in our URL’s to shows. In the brackets were our season and episode numbers. But brackets often seem to break querys, or break URL’s when places on things like twitter or facebook. So we have changed them to / instead. For the most part you don’t need to worry, because all old URL’s will still be redirected to the new ones.

Extra Links
Below every episode will be a list of “Extra Links”. These links will be to other websites that also contain embeds of the episode. For the most part, its to try and please everyone. While Megavideo does have pretty good quality, it does have a time limit which peeve alot of people off. So we will try and link to many different sources to give you guys the choice. Do note that there aren’t many extra links up at the moment just due to us spending all our time developing the site. But over time the list will grow bigger and bigger for each show.

There is a bunch more things in the works that we are building, and even a few extra things that are already on the site that you will eventually figure out for yourself. There will be a few issues with the new site as it goes up and over the first week or so. I mean, we can only do so much testing! But we are looking to keep building PTTV bigger and better.

Lost Failed On “What Kate Does”

February 11th, 2010 by Admin No comments »

With it being the final season of Lost, you would think they would start answering some of our questions… But no, instead they would rather fill our brains with even more questions and make us think even more about what is happening.  Not only that leave us with an episode that is just pointless.. this being last nights episode ‘What Kate Does’

Here at Purely Top TV we are avid Lost fans, never miss an episode so with last nights being such a downer we are starting to wonder what this final season really has in store for us.  I mean, what did we learn from last nights episode? That Kate can cry.. A lot.. That they are still trapped inside that temple.. The crying and whining woman in the real time Lost.. That Claire still calls her son Aaron but she doesn’t know why.. You have to admit, last nights episode was very soap opera like.

But this is Lost, not 90210. We expect there to be moments that make us think, not moments that cause us to start talking over the top of the show.

The only cliffhanger moment was when Claire all of a sudden appeared out of the jungle, protecting Jin.. then the famous Lost boom happened and it was the end…

But seriously we had to watch an hour or soap opera before something good happened. It’s not what us Lost fans want. With this being the final season we don’t want more questions, we want the previous questions answered and Lost to end so we don’t have to have a two hour discussion after.

The highlights of the episode:

  • Hurley saying ‘You’re not a zombie are you’ to Sayid.
  • Miles saying ‘We’ll be in the food court if you need us’… they have a food court at the temple? Does it have McDonald’s? no wonder Hurley has never lost weight whilst being on the island!! hmm interesting!!
  • The fact that Claire actually got back into the car with a lady who kicked her out of the car first and pointed a gun at her.. and then asked her to go into the house with her.. I mean wtf! I would not want to do that!!

And finally…

  • Black and White theme is back… Kate pulls out a stuffed animal from Claire’s bag and it’s black and white.

Hmm… they just leave us thinking don’t they!

Top 5 Glee Moments

February 1st, 2010 by Admin No comments »

5 – ‘Sweet Caroline’ – Puck (Mash Up)

Wow. Not only can Puck play football… He can sing… and sing very well at that. Definaely a highlight of ‘Mash Up’ and deserves to start of the top 5 Glee moments.

4 – ‘Proud Mary’ – Group Performance (Wheels)

“This one’s for you Artie”. Proud Mary is a touching moment in ‘Wheels’ and the bit i like most is that fact Rachel is there stealing the show. This was all Artie and it is brilliant. The choreographer for teaching the Glee Club to do a whole performance in wheel chairs deserves an award.

3 – ‘Jump’ – Group Performance (Mattress)

Well, this was just brilliant. Who would of thought you could make a song about a mattress company be so catchy and entertaining.

2 – ‘Single Ladies’ – Football Team Dance (Preggers)

There doesn’t really need to be an introduction to this one. Just by watching the clip you can tell why this has to be in our top 5 list. I mean, would you really see this on a football field in real life? Probably not, but on Glee anything is possible.

1 – Sue visiting her sister (Wheels)

The only none musical themed entry into our top 5 and it has to come at number 1, this being the scene from Wheels, where Sue goes to a care facility to visit her sister. This may be short and sweet, but it’s nice to see a different side to Sue Sylvester, rather than the scheming woman she usually is.

Preparing for Lost

January 22nd, 2010 by Admin No comments »

With only 11 days away till the final season starts, Lost fever is here!  Getting into the swing of things, we have added every episode of Lost on Purely Top TV right from Episode 1. Not too sure if there is people out there with enough time to spare to go right from Day 1 (Lost marathon anyone?), but its there if you need it!

If you dont have the time to start all the way back, be sure to check out the last few episodes of Season 5 just to refresh your memory. Its going to be a big season!

Is The Lost Promo Picture Too Revealing?

January 3rd, 2010 by Admin No comments »

Just in time for the new year, the producers of Lost have finally released a promo poster for the final season of Lost beginning on February 2nd. Check it out below:

Not too revealing is it? Well the web has been in awe of certain pieces of the picture. In particular :

  • The plane flying directly of Hurley
  • Dark clouds being over our original losties.
  • Kate, John, and Claire all looking towards the ground.
  • Jack being in a pristine suit, and even looking fairly fresh (Last scene was of him and Sawyer duking it out).
  • The fact that Claire plays such a prominent role in this picture.
  • And the saddest of all, No Juliet.

Reading a bit too much into it perhaps? Well probably. But thats what Lost is all about! I guess the most obvious point is no Juliet in the picture. Does this mean she succeeded in blowing up the bomb? Or that she is still stuck down in the well? One thing is for sure, i wouldnt be surprised if the producers left her out just to lead you astray.

If your looking for any more info on the new Lost season you will be sadly underwhelmed. The producers have given ABC a tight restriction on what they can show in promo’s. Even the trailers for the new show are only allowed to be a few seconds long.

We wait with anticipation!

Hello New Shows, Goodbye Old Shows

December 28th, 2009 by Admin No comments »

First off I shall start by wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and hope you had a good one and it wasn’t to cold for you, or in our case to hot (being that we are in the southern hemisphere) =P

Well, it’s almost 2010 which means Purely Top TV shall be loosing a few shows from it’s list, however we shall also gain a few new ones.  So far we decided to get rid of ‘Battlestar Galactica’ as it wasn’t getting any hits and being that it has ended there was no need for it to stay.  This is also the case for ‘Samantha Who’, this show has been cancelled so we have said goodbye to it on PTTV as well.

You may notice two new shows up though now, these being Castle, which is about a Richard Castle a well known novelist who is getting bored of his success till he finds out that there is a real life copycat murderer who has started to stage out the murders that Richard talks about in his novels.  So if you like your murder mysteries then this is a sure hit for you.

We also have added the hit new comedy Modern Family.  This show is in the style of a mockumentary in which we get to see the lives of three families, one gay couple, one traditional family and one multi-ethnic family.  We get to see the loving, complicated and messy way of living of these unique people.  It really is a must see if you like your comedies, as you will be laughing all the way.

If you have any other requests for new shows just let us know and we’ll look into them and see if they are worth putting up. You can email us at admin[at]purelytoptv.com or flick us a line on our Facebook Page or why not send us a tweet.

You may have also noticed another new feature on PTTV series pages, this being the TweetMeme button.  This allows you to tweet about a series or episode that you have seen on PTTV and want everyone else to know about, it will send a tweet out of your account automatically with the link in as well.  So give it ago and let everyone know about the shows up in Purely Top TV.

Flight of the Conchords has hit the end…

December 11th, 2009 by Admin No comments »

new_script2So, it has been confirmed today by Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement that a third season of the hit HBO series Flight of the Conchords is not going to happen.

This is a shame as the due brought so much laughter, tears and interesting song choices to our TV sets.

The duo said in one of their statements that they were proud of the two seasons they put out and that they liked the way the show ended.  They also thanked everyone who made the series and watched it and that the characters Bret and Jemaine will no longer exist, however the real Bret and Jemaine will continue.

It’s sad to see this series leave the TV but i guess with a show like Flight of the Conchords it must have been quite hard to think of so many songs to pull out all the time, especially for a cast of two 3 really, Bret, Jemaine and Rhys Darby who as we know played the bands useless manager.

As Purely Top TV is based in New Zealand it’s especially sad for us, as we liked that a hit show such as Flight of the Conchords made it to the HBO line up.

Purely Top TV will try it’s hardest to get Flight of the Conchords back up and running on the website with working links.

Tell us what you think of this as well, are you sad to see it go? or actually quite pleased? and what was your favorite song or phrase from the series?
