Spend a few minutes online to enhance your TV viewing Site-seeing with Jan Perry A lot of what you watch on television can be enhanced by spending a little time online. Shift from TV screen to computer monitor to see the cyber side of your favorite shows. http://abc.go.com. Be online tonight at 9 when ''The Drew Carey Show'' gives Web watchers an Internet eyeful. Sign on early to get your Carey cam kit (including everything you'll need for viewing the show online.) While you're at the ABC site, try your luck at beating Regis and the Web version of ''Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.'' (Sorry, there's no payout - this game's just for bragging rights.) http://www.livebyrequest.com. On Tuesday, fans on this A&E companion site can: watch the ''Reba - Live by Request'' Webcast (with three cameras showing the performance,) e-mail song requests and access her on-site discography, biographical material and song lyrics. http://www.discovery.com. Flat out - one of the best sites online for one of the best networks on TV. This one can keep you busy for days. http://www.bbc.co.uk. Not only is this British-based site graphically pleasing, it offers news, weather and interesting world view through the eyes of the BBC. For a classic treat, play Spy Catcher and outsmart the enemy in wartime Britain. http://www.mtv.com. You want your MTV. Rejoice. Now you can have your MTV online as well. This site features all the stuff you'd expect plus information about WebRIOT - which is MTV's first online/on-air game show. Download it here and get ready to riot. http://www.cartoonnetwork.com. Do you have a Cartoon Network nut at your house? Get the inside scoop on all the shows your kids are watching. Everyone from Space Ghost to Scooby-Doo is covered here. http://www.123world.com/television. Did I include your favorite? If not, this site provides an alphabetical list of official sites for television shows, networks, cable channels, satellite broadcasting, worldwide communications stations, sports programs, soap operas and more.
