Today, Boxee announced an update to their social media application to include support for ABC. Now it’s easier than ever to watch Lost, Desperate Housewives and Grey’s Anatomy from your Mac.

Boxee already has support for Hulu, CBS, WB and Joost. Add ABC to the mix, and what else is there? ABC is a huge addition to the Boxee lineup. Torrentfreak claims that Lost was the most pirated TV Show on Bittorent in 2008.  But that might change in 2009.  If you can watch your favorite TV shows in full HD streaming legally on the web, with the addition of a few small ads, then it’s much less likely that you’ll be forced into pirating.  If only all of these networks would put their entire catalogs on the net, then we’d really be in heaven.

If you’re a Lost fan, the first thing you’ll want to do after downloading the Boxee update is watch the Season Premiere (I’m guessing for the 3rd or 4th time now), it went live online last night. I think the addition of ABC will bring a lot of people to Boxee. I personally dislike using ABC’s web interface, so I think Boxee is going to be getting a lot more use by me very soon. Now, if I just had more time to watch TV. I, like most people, just have so much to do, I swear, I can’t do this all on my own…  Don’t forget, Scrubs is now on ABC.  Yet another reason this news is so awesome.

The update for Mac is available now, with the AppleTV update following soon.
