Subscribe to SideReel for an Ad-Free Experience
The internet is a very different place now than it was in 2007 when SideReel first came online. The methods of keeping a free website in business have changed, involving more technologically advanced advertisements that can be seen as intrusive to the browsing experience. Additionally, the methods that ad technologies use to serve up relevant ads can slow down a website by placing dozens of calls to multiple services before finally loading the page. We recognize this and would like to offer an alternative.
At SideReel, we pride ourselves on providing our tracking tools for TV fans for more than

Support SideReel and Go Ad-Free with Scroll
We're excited to announce our partnership with Scroll, an online membership program which removes ads from SideReel (as well as from sites like AllMusic, AllMovie, The Verge, Vox, Gizmodo, Slate, The Onion, The Atlantic and many others). With Scroll, users pay $5/month and receive an ad-free reading experience on hundreds of sites, which allows pages on SideReel load faster and with fewer trackers. Then Scroll distributes that money back to the sites you visit the most.

Review TV Shows and Episodes on SideReel
Friends,
We're glad to announce that our fellow TV fanatics can now add their own reviews to shows and episodes again.
Now on TV Show pages and Episode pages, you can go in and let your fellow SideReelers know how you feel about the new show you're watching, or sound off about last night's episode.
You can mark your review as containing spoilers (so they won't show up for other users unless they click), and you can give a Thumbs Up to reviews you find to be helpful and those will rise to the top of the list.
Shows you

Hello SideReelers,
A user pointed out that there are several shows with incorrect status. Most of them are likely shows that were "Currently" airing and now should be set to "Concluded"

Star Ratings for TV Shows and TV Episodes
Oh My Stars!
Today on SideReel we launched the ability to rate your favorite shows and episodes on TV Show pages, Episode pages and in your Tracker.
Additionally, sorting your Tracker and your Lists by "My Rating" should be working like a charm.
We're still working on a number of tasks like list pages, user reviews, user profile pages and a number of tweaks and requests users have suggested.
If you have issues with ratings, please feel free to post them here.

Lists Phase 1!
Hi everybody. Today we rolled out our initial phase of Lists being available on SideReel.
https://www.sidereel.com/tracker
When you log in and visit your Tracker page, you'll see a dropdown that contains your lists (displayed in the order you created the list, with most recent list showing first).
By selecting a list, you'll be able to see the shows in that list, and use all of the same filters and sorts (including "Hide Watched Shows") that are available in the Tracker.
Additionally, by clicking on the "Add to List" button on TV Show pages, Episode pages and the Tracker, you can

Watched Shows in Tracker: We Are Up To Date!
Folks, I believe we have made great strides in getting the Tracker to be more useful in displaying the shows you are up-to-date on.
As of today's update, your tracker should be showing you only the shows that are available for you to watch, based on your watch events, and when shows are available.
NOTE: Please do not do any tracking, rating or reviewing in the old, frozen "cf sidereel" site. None of that new input is making it over to the current database.
Shows with a status of "Upcoming" should be hidden when you select "Hide Watched Shows" and
