New BuddyTV App Brings the Viewing Party to You

September 28, 2010 (PRLEAP.COM) Entertainment News
Seattle-Remember when you laughed so hard at Michael Scott on The Office that beer shot out of your nose? Or the time you caught yourself actually singing along during Glee? Or when you almost threw your remote through the TV while watching a football game? So many TV moments are too great to share with just your couch cushions.

And now thanks to the BuddyTV app, available for free download in Apple's iTunes store on Sept. 28, viewers can connect with other fans of their favorite shows, share their thoughts on new and past episodes and see what fellow fans have to say. All from the comfort of wherever-and whenever-they're watching.

The new BuddyTV app allows iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users to:

- See what other fans have to say
- Discover new shows and find new perspectives about must-sees
- Comment on favorite TV shows while they're watching
- Share their comments on Facebook and Twitter
- Earn credits like Executive Producer for being a top commenter
- Get insider updates about episodes from actors, directors and writers-like The Biggest Loser's trainer Jillian Michaels, Undercovers' executive producer Josh Reims, and America's Next Top Model judge and photographer Nigel Barker and executive producer Laura Fuest

"We didn't want to build just another TV app. We built an app that captures the excitement and emotion of watching TV with fans, friends and family in a virtual viewing party," said Andy Liu, CEO of BuddyTV.
