Have your very own TV Schedule in Google Calendar

Overview

Keeping track of all your favourite TV Shows can be pretty daunting at times especially if you are a person like me who watches ~60 shows throughout the year. But I got a solution which will allow you to keep track of all your shows straight from Google Calendar with very little interaction on your part.

How-To

1. Create an account/Sign In to Pogdesign TV Calendar

Pogdesign TV Calendar is a web service which as you guess it will tell you what shows air on what date and time. Having an account is important because of the next 2 parts

2. Favourite your shows

Once you have an account click "Add Shows To Favourites" in the top left, choose your shows and once you have finished click "Back to the Calendar"

3. Copy the .ical link address

In the Top Right of the page a new button will appear called .ical, Right click that button and choose Copy Link Address (May be called something different on Firefox and IE)

4. Add the Calendar to Google Calendar

Go to Google Calendar, click the dropdown for Other Calendars and choose Add by URL. 

Paste in the link and click Add Calendar

5. Done

The calendar will now be added to Google Calendar, if you ever become interested in any other shows then all you need to do is go on the Pogdesign website, add it to your favourites and Google Calendar will update pretty much instantly.

The reason I chose Google Calendar for this was because it can be accessed not just from your computer but also your phone and tablet (no matter the device). This solution may work with other Calendar services but you will have to find that out by yourself
