You may have noticed an announcement pop up this morning while you were visiting your favorite show on TV.com. It looked something like this:

If you clicked on this little teaser, your Glee page went from looking like this:

To this:

We've taken all the bits from the old TV.com that you loved, given them a polishing, and added a bunch of great new features. Here's what's new:

New Look:

We've switched over to a cleaner and lighter look that makes show pages more accessible and easier to use. The new layout is intended to get you to the things you care most about faster and more efficiently, while at the same time making everything easier on the eyes. It also allows us add more information to each page without overwhelming you guys. As you can see, it makes exploration far more effortless.

Easier Navigation:

We've moved the navigation tabs to the top of the page so you can get where you're going faster than ever before. We've also made it easier to quickly favorite, and rate shows, as well as write a review and watch all the available online episodes.

The Overview page also includes a brief Episode Guide, Show News, Full Episode links, Cast and Crew details, and Fan Reviews.

Watch Online:

This is a brand new section! Here you will find full episodes and clips of any show. You can filter by free vs. paid sources and by what will play on your favorite mobile devices.

We've even added a nifty little pop-up to each episode image that links directly to the available streaming sources.

Related Shows:

At the very bottom of each show page, you'll find a list of TV Series similar to the one you're looking at. These are our recommendations for other shows you might like, too. Take the time to browse through the list and let us know if you discover something new!

Our new show pages are just the first of many awesome updates that we have in store for you at TV.com. We're launching them today in beta to get feedback from our users, so please explore them and tell us what you think! You can leave us a comment on this post or add your feedback to our Get Satisfaction page.

Some users are unable to view news articles when clicking through from the homepage.

As you've noticed, TV.com's main header (the section of the page that appears up top) has changed. We've streamlined the tabs to feature the most popular pages on the site. It's now easier to see if you have new PMs, and for editors, if there are any new submissions in your moderation queue. The search feature has also been streamlined.

Hi,

As most of you have noticed, we have implemented a new WYSIWYG editor in the submission fields for trivia, quotes, notes, and allusions to make it easier for you to format your submissions.
We're also really excited about the upcoming improvement to our Quotes submission tool which will automatically format quote submissions for you! This is going to be great for all those lengthy conversations between Liz and Jack on 30 Rock.

Our Community Staff is dedicated to keeping you informed of any changes we make to the site and listening to your feedback. TV.com's goal is to make submitting to our People and Show guides easier and more enjoyable for everyone. We know change is often accompanied by questions and concerns so, as always, please feel free to PM staff with your thoughts. We greatly value our open dialogue with all of you.

Happy Submitting!

The submissions fields for Quotes, Notes, Trivia, and Allusions on show and person guides now utilize the simple to use WYSIWYG editor already available on forums. This is to give submitting users the ability to quickly format their submissions without having to encode the HTML manually. All submission formatting guidelines still apply.

Update: For those wondering about the extra spaces between lines, you can use Shift+Enter rather than just Enter. Using Shift+Enter won't add in any extra line breaks to your submission.
