A Look at What's Coming Up: Obama, Naruto Shippuden, Showtime and Whoopi!

What do the Obama Inauguration, Naruto Shippuden, The L Word and Secret Diary of a Call Girl, and Whoopi Goldberg all have in common? If you couldn't figure it out from the title - it's that they're all coming soon to Joost!

To help you set your clocks, or, more appropriately, make a calendar reminder on your computer, dates and details are below.

Thursday, January 15

  • Three new episodes (89, 90 and 91), of Naruto Shippuden, will be up tomorrow morning...and we'll keep adding new episodes every Thursday. That means the new episodes of Naruto Shippuden will be up - and free - one week after they air in Japan. If you've missed an episode from an earlier season, we add new "catch-up" episodes every Friday.

  • Whoopi Goldberg, the star of "Ghost" and "Star Trek: The Next Generation," returns to her sci-fi roots in a new miniseries - from FEARnet called Stream. It should be a lot scarier than those "The View" round tables. If that's possible.

Sunday, January 18

New seasons of The L Word and Secret Diary of a Call Girl premiere on TV - and we'll have them on Joost too. United States of Tara premieres on Showtime that day too...but you can get ready for that new show now on Joost.

Tuesday, January 20

President-Elect Obama will be inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States...and wherever you are, you'll be able to watch this live on Joost. In the U.S. we'll be showing this through our partner CBS, and in Europe through our partner Euronews. We'll update the post with the link later this week - but in the meantime, check out our special pre-inauguration channels: Everything Obama; The Inauguration Pre-Party Playlist, featuring artists who will perform during the inauguration festivities; and Bye Bye Bush, video retrospective of the last 8 years.
