Showcase of TV Show Websites
Published in GalleriesObserving websites from particular industries can be a good learning experience, as you will tend to see a lot of trends and similarities from sites in the same industry. In this post we’ll showcase more than 30 websites from current TV shows.
As is the case with other types of media (such as movies and music) the websites of TV shows tend to be an important part of their marketing and branding. As you browse through the sites featured below you will notice some trends including:
- Large background images
- A lot of color
- Heavy use of video, including in prominent locations
- Advertisements for other shows on the same network
- Social media links or buttons
In most cases the networks use a common layout for their shows, simply changing the design, colors, and images of each. For that reason we have organized the showcase by network.
Starz:
Discovery Channel:
CBS:
Showtime:
TNT:
ABC:
A&E:
Fox:
CW:
NBC:

Great collections of cool examples, thanks.
Pretty nice showcase roundup Great work
Wow, web designs with large feature background images are popular in this industry, aren’t they! These websites look great for design inspiration, thanks for the post!
i like deadliest catch… its one of my favorites. and it gets interesting by the day.
Great examples! I particularly liked the CBS sites for its variety when exploring from one show to another, each one had its own theme but still had the CBS ‘look and feel’. The other site I liked was the showtime site for its design and functionality.
Great article… with lot’s of useful tips… THANKS!
nice collection… very inspirational designs used for each site, though it’s funny how more & more sites are looking as if they used a CMS platform to create them
great collection!
Great showcase, Bones is absolutely my favourite!
Hey, wonderful collection of sites. It’s amazing how more and more sites are looking like a CMS platform, even when they’re not. What’s happening to original design.
Very nice collection of TV show layouts. I like particularly the ones from Starz network and those of Discovery.
Very nice collection, it’s surprising how many of these resemble wordpress type sites when you would expect to have quite a lot of creative freedom with this kind of client. Some very nice sites though… Thanks for posting.
Love this. Love T.V so I can really appreciate this!
