Catch Up on ‘The View’: Where to Find and Watch Full Episodes

Are you a fan of the popular daytime talk show, “The View”? Whether you missed an episode or simply want to relive your favorite moments, finding and watching full episodes is easier than ever. In this article, we’ll explore various platforms and methods for catching up on “The View” so you never have to miss a moment of this engaging show.

ABC Website: The Official Source

When it comes to watching full episodes of “The View,” the first place you should check is the official ABC website. As the network that airs the show, ABC provides viewers with a convenient way to catch up on missed episodes. Simply visit the ABC website and navigate to their “Shows” section. From there, you can find “The View” and access their collection of full episodes.

One advantage of using the ABC website is that it’s completely free. You don’t need a subscription or any special credentials to watch past episodes. The user-friendly interface makes it easy to browse through seasons and select specific episodes that interest you. Additionally, the ABC website often includes exclusive clips and behind-the-scenes footage that may not be available elsewhere.

Streaming Services: Hulu and More

If you prefer the convenience of streaming services, there are several options available for watching full episodes of “The View.” One popular choice is Hulu. With a Hulu subscription, you gain access not only to current episodes but also an extensive library of past seasons.

Hulu offers different plans depending on your needs. Their basic plan includes ads during shows, while their ad-free plan eliminates interruptions for a seamless viewing experience. Another benefit of using Hulu is its compatibility with various devices such as smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, gaming consoles, and more. This means you can catch up on “The View” wherever and whenever it’s convenient for you.

Apart from Hulu, other streaming services like YouTube TV and fuboTV also provide access to “The View” full episodes. These platforms typically require a subscription fee, but they offer additional features like live TV and the ability to record shows for later viewing. If you’re already a subscriber or looking for a comprehensive streaming service, these options are worth considering.

On-Demand Cable Services

If you have a cable subscription, you may have access to on-demand services that allow you to watch full episodes of “The View.” Many cable providers offer their own apps or websites where subscribers can stream shows at their convenience. Some examples include Xfinity Stream, Spectrum TV, and Cox Contour.

To take advantage of on-demand cable services, simply download the corresponding app onto your preferred device or visit the provider’s website. Log in using your cable credentials, navigate to the “Shows” or “On-Demand” section, and search for “The View.” From there, you can explore the available episodes and choose which ones to watch.

One perk of using on-demand cable services is that they often provide access to not only recent episodes but also older seasons. This allows you to dive deep into the show’s archives and catch up on any missed moments from years past.

Social Media: Highlights and Clips

Last but not least, social media platforms are another great resource for catching up on “The View.” The official social media accounts of both ABC and “The View” frequently post highlights and clips from recent episodes. These bite-sized videos give you a taste of what happened during each episode without requiring a significant time commitment.

Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube are commonly used by networks and shows to engage with their audience. By following these accounts or searching for specific hashtags related to “The View,” you can easily find relevant content that keeps you up-to-date with the show’s latest happenings.

While social media may not provide full episodes, it’s an excellent way to stay connected and informed about “The View” even if you can’t watch every episode in its entirety. Plus, you can share your favorite moments with friends and spark conversations about the show.

Thanks to the advancements in technology, catching up on full episodes of “The View” has never been easier. Whether you choose the official ABC website, streaming services like Hulu, on-demand cable services, or social media platforms, there are numerous options available to suit your preferences and needs. Now you can enjoy all the engaging discussions and memorable moments from “The View” whenever it’s convenient for you.

Series / Spooksville

Edit locked.

Spooksville is an adventure/horror series on The Hub . Based on the book series by acclaimed author Christopher Pike, the new kid in town discovers that he holds the key to a battle between good and evil that has been taking place for centuries in a bizarre small town that plays host to a wide array of supernatural and unexplained occurrences. It has a running arc of Adam trying to find his long-lost mother and her whereabouts during her disappearance, but, for the most part, the show plays out like Eerie, Indiana meets Goosebumps (or So Weird minus the traveling musician angle and mixed with Eerie, Indiana ).

The series premiered on October 26, 2013, and is made by the same people behind The Haunting Hour . Because of The Hub's change to Discovery Family and the fact that The Haunting Hour has been canceled, it's safe to assume that this show is not coming back.

Tropes for the book series can be found here .

This series provides examples of:

• Adaptation Distillation : As expected, some of the stories are trimmed down to make it work in a 22 minute format.
• Adaptation Expansion : The series adds an ongoing arc about finding Adam's mom that was not present in the books, which were mostly stand-alone.
• Adaptation Explanation Extrication : In the books, Watch wears his watch to keep track of what time it is where his family lives, as they are spread out. In the show, this is not the case so there's no special reasons for why he wears them.
• Adaptation Dye-Job : In the book version of The Wicked Cat , Sally is turned into a brown cat, to match her hair, but in the show, she is a white cat.
• A mild example: In the books, Sally's real name is Sara, but this is not mentioned in the show so chances are that Sally is her real name in the series.
• The Howling Ghost changes the ghost's name from Evelyn to Jane.

• The cat from The Wicked Cat is named Jessie in the book, but is called Danielle in the episode.
• As noted below, Watch doesn't fully believe in the supernatural, thinking it's just all scientific, while in the books, he was fairly accepting of the supernatural existing.
• In the books, Bum is fairly well adjusted but in the show, he is a bit nuttier.
• Adaptation Title Change : A mild example, the episode of Invasion of the No-Ones removes the first part, leaving it as just "The No-Ones".
• Adaptational Angst Upgrade : Adam having a Missing Mom gives him more emotional baggage than he had in the books.
• Adaptational Backstory Change : The No-Ones from The No-Ones go from being the souls of humans that come from another planet, to being energy beings from the beginning that are from another dimension, which they destroyed due to their thirst for power . Also counts as an Adaptation Species Change .
• Adaptational Explanation : The book of The Evil House didn't explain how Marvin using a spell to make him live longer brought him to said house. The episode changes it so that a witch offered him this chance and sent him to the evil house, on the condition that he lure kids into it.
• Adaptational Jerkass : In the books, Bryce Poole is a heroic, if somewhat egocentric person. In the series, he is a bully. He's also dumber .
• In the books, Madeline Templeton is implied to be evil but it's left up in the air how true that is, and she seems fine enough when they see her in ''Time Terror'. In the show, she is portrayed as fully evil.
• While Ann is complicated in the show and does some shady things, she was nicer and more helpful from the start in the books.
• Danielle in The Wicked Cat and Tira in The No-Ones were portrayed sympathetically in the book and became good by the end, but are more straight forward villains in the episodes.
• Adults Are Useless : The adults on the show are usually blind to the weird goings on. Any time they are directly exposed to it they rationalize it away. The one exception, a former vampire hunter, refuses to get involved or help the kids.
• Age Lift : In the books, Ann was an adult but in the show, she is closer to the kids' age. The kids themselves go from being 12 to being teens.
• Agent Mulder : Watch and Sally. Played with in Watch's case, as although he believes in the paranormal, he is very rational and even skeptical at times. In other words, he's an Agent Mulder who doesn't believe in If Jesus, Then Aliens .
• All Guys Want Cheerleaders : In Stone, Adam wakes up in a reality where he's captain of the football team and Sally is head cheerleader. The two of them had apparently dated until Adam broke up with her and started going out with Ann. To add insult to injury, he did this right before the school's Spring Fling . Sally was... not amused .

• Ascended Extra : In the books, Madeline Templeton only appears in one book via time travel, as she is long dead. In the show, she attempts to bring her spirit back, and becomes a more prominent element. A smaller example is Adam's father, who only appears physically in the first book but appears more in the show. Then there's Sally's parents, who are only mentioned in the books but appear in the show.
• Ambiguously Evil : Ann Templeton
• Battle of the Bands : One of the unproduced Season 2 episodes would have the gang enter such a competition as they suspect one of the groups plans to summon an ancient demon.
• Becoming the Costume : The Evil House has this happen to the gang after entering the titular house.
• Beach Episode : Shell Shock
• Bigger on the Inside : The cardboard box that The Mayor lives in.
• Borrowed Catchphrase : Watch says Sally's catchphrase, "What the what?!", in Fathers and Sons . Sally's parents say it in Shell Shock
• Bottle Episode : Gnome Alone , which is set only in and around Sally's house. Additionally, Sally is the only character present for most of the episode.
• Breather Episode : The Dark Corner , which was darker and featured a big change at the end, is followed up by Sell Shock , a goofy story about a pirate-crab monster.
• Broken Masquerade : Deconstructed in The Wishing Stone , when Adam's dad learns of Springsville's paranormal activity, and almost immediately decides to take Adam and get the hell out of Dodge. In the end, Adam uses the wishing stone to turn everything back to normal and make it so that way the trio never finds the stone .
• Catchphrase : Sally has "What the what?!"
• Cell Phones Are Useless : Played for horror in Phone Fear , where answering a phone gets you picked off by a mysterious fog.
• Chekhov's Gun : Early on in The Wishing Stone , Watch shows off a fake laser gun that had become real during a previous episode. Later on, they use it to stop the debt collector robot.
• Christmas Episode : The No-Ones . The book it's based on wasn't one though.
• Cliffhanger : Stone ends with them having subdued Madeline for now, but Adam's mom is still out there and they are determined to stop Madeline for good.
• Composite Character : Cindy's role being reduced makes it so that Sally will sometimes take the role she served in the original book, such as Sally being the one to become a fairy princess in The Evil House
• Crazy Homeless People : The Mayor.
• Cryptid Episode : Fathers and Sons , where Adam, Watch, Adam's Dad, and Officer Duggan run into Bigfoot while on a camping trip.
• Ann gets her moments too, like when Sally asks her to "magic us home" in "Phone Fear". She responds thusly:
• Jack from The Wicked Cat is an interesting example. In both versions he was trapped in a cave to rot. But in the book, he's still in a weird state of being undead when Adam gets trapped there. In the episode, he is fully dead.
• Decomposite Character : The Evil House , The Wicked Cat and Invasion of the No-Ones all had Madeline Templeton involved in the villain's backstory. The episode versions change each one into a different Templeton.
• The Mayor/Bum to an extent. In the books he had a bigger role when he showed up, giving the kids exposition on the Monster of the Week but in the show he does not know as much as he has a smaller role overall.
• Did I Mention It's Christmas? : While The No-Ones is a Christmas episode, it's only apparent at the very beginning and very end, and it isn't too important to the story.
• Even Nerds Have Standards : Even Watch makes fun of Stanley.
• Enemy Mine : Sally and Ann, briefly, in Flowers of Evil .
• The Homuncali in Ann's basement seem to be a stand-in for the trolls she had in the books.
• Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep" : Played with, The Mayor is referred to as such even though he only used to be the mayor.
• Face�Heel Revolving Door : Ann
• Fantasy Kitchen Sink : Spooksville seems to be under constant attack from everything—- alien parasites, witches, vampires, ghosts—- you name it, it's probably been in the town.
• Gadgeteer Genius : Watch
• Harbinger of Impending Doom : In The Secret Path , Adam and his father are approached by The Mayor, who warns them to get out of town.
• Held Back in School : In Phone Fear , Bryce implies that it's his seventh time attending a (yearly) school field trip.
• Humans Are the Real Monsters : Madeline Templeton is just a human (albeit a powerful Wicked Witch ) and is by far the most evil character in the show (indeed, most of the monsters turn out to not actually be evil at all.)
• In Name Only : While the episodes based on certain books at least try to keep the general story intact, The Dark Corner and Phone Fear keep the title and nothing else.
• I Never Said It Was Poison : How Adam discovers that he's trapped in a dream world created by Madeline in Stone .
• Immortality Immorality : Madeline Templeton is immortal due to her magically possessing all her descendants and changing them into clones of herself. Ann only avoids this because she has the Raven Stone.
• Innocuously Important Episode : Critical Care is mostly just a weird episode about tonsils coming to life, but it also ends with Adam's mother looking out at Shadowmire, which foreshadows the twist that she is actually Madeline Templeton.
• Journey to the Center of the Mind : In The Maze , Adam and Watch end up in The Mayor's memories, in a place designed like a maze made out of cardboard boxes. His memories start fading as they go on and by the end he has lost them completely.
• Karma Houdini : Madeline Templeton . While the kids manage to escape her in the final episode, she doesn't actually get stopped or punished in any way. The episode ends with them vowing to stop her and find Adam's mother, and, given that at least another season was planned, they probably did intend for both to happen eventually. Unfortunately, the show was cancelled after the first season.
• Kick The Son Of A Bitch : In an early episode The Haunted Cave , the team lets Ann get sneezed on by a giant monster and Covered in Gunge after she yells at them, at which point she screams in disgust. While this comes across as pretty Disproportionate Retribution at the time (as from her point of view, she's just getting mad that some people she barely knows are in her garden without permission), considering what she would eventually turn out to be like, she kind of had it coming.
• Magic Knight : Ann Templeton is both a witch and skilled in swordplay.
• Magic Versus Science : Ann Templeton for magic and Watch for Science. Ann embraces magic as something beyond science. Watch views it as "weird science" buried under mumbo jumbo. Both are shown to be correct in different ways. The magic is a form of eldritch energy manipulation that does not work according to the principles of modern science such as words affecting chemical interactions. Watch's refusal to initially recognize this nearly gets Sally killed at one point. Often, the only difference is the terminology and worldview.
• Love-Interest Traitor : Tira in The No-Ones .
• MacGyvering : Watch tends to do this a lot due to being so smart. Sometimes it almost comes across as a Deus ex Machina . In one episode he makes what's basically a force-field generator out of a broken mirror, bottle, and CD player.
• Missing Mom : Adam's mother, who disappeared two years before the events of the series. Adam's search for her makes up a major part of the series' Myth Arc .
• Memory Gambit : Madeline alters her memories to make herself believe that she's Laurel in order to be transported back into her home dimension.
