Abstract

In a method and system for accessing content, a selection of a media content item having at least one set of episodes is received. Each of the at least one set of episodes is displayed as a user-selectable element in a user interface. A selection of a user-selectable element corresponding to a set of the at least one set of episodes is received.

A selection of an episode from the set of episodes is received. At least one content source from which the selected episode is available to be retrieved is displayed.
