Previously you had to request a friend for taping it, your only chance for catching the episode would be to wait for a rerun.

Tools available for downloading TV programs can be divided into two categories legal and illegal; "legal" tools (typically charge about $2 to download an episode of a television show) like the iTunes Music Store and Google Video, and "unauthorized" (are typically free tools like BitTorrent and Internet Relay Chat). The difference between legal and unauthorized methods is whether the television network has authorized the distribution of that program.
Normally you should resort to downloading from iTunes Music Store or Google Video – as it is ethical and also they are easy to handle downloading an episode. Contrary to this downloading a program with BitTorrent is a intricate procedure that necessitates steering awkward (sometimes untrustworthy) video search sites and waiting hours (sometimes overnight) while the show downloads. Even then, the episode might turn out to be encoded in a format that your PC doesn’t handle: so you’ve got to find and install the proper video CODEC. It can be a time-consuming, frustrating process.
iTunes Music Store or Google Video they charge a minimal of $2 or so at the and it would be very much easy to watch within seconds, or a few minutes at most, with none of the tears and drama (unless, of course, the program is a drama.)
Online video is in its early development and the number of programs accessible for legal download are pretty and famous TV networks are joining in the bandwagon quickly -- many of the most popular shows, from Battlestar Galactica to The Daily Show, are waiting for you online.
