Many people, particularly those living in small apartments, would like to be able to watch TV on their computers and laptops. Just a few years ago, this wasn't an easy thing to do. However, technology keeps marching forward and now this is a commonplace thing that millions of people around the world do every day. There are two easy ways. The first is to go to the web site of the TV channel that you like. More and more of these channels are offering full episodes of their popular shows for viewing on the site. There will probably be a few ads mixed in but the experience is generally quite good. You can also use a website like Hulu.com which allows you to stream many recent and older TV shows for free and also shows a few ads. If you are willing to pay, you can download TV episodes through places like iTunes. These are often free from commercials.
Some people also like to buy DVDs of TV episodes, rent them from the video store or netflix, or even wait until their local library has it though of course the DVDs don't become available right away. Another option is to actually connect your computer to the cable line. This usually requires a video adapter in the form of a USB accessory or a PCI card. This way, you add a video port to your computer and can watch TV with a software application. When you configure it to show the TV full screen, it can look like normal TV!
