Hulu

Hulu is great for watching recent episodes of shows you might have missed, as well as for watching selected older TV shows. Whenever we feel like watching TV but nothing is on, Mrs. Twan and I have been watching old episodes of "The Addams Family." The movie selection, on the other hand, really is pretty craptastic. There are a handful of good movies, but most of the movies are low budget movies, box office bombs, and made for TV movies. But I can't complain too much, as it's all free and with fewer commercials than regular TV. Although I suspect Hulu will actually get worse rather than better, as it sounds like they're starting to push a pay version of the site. If that takes off, my guess is the free part of the site will take a hit in selection.

Hulu has got a very good variety of TV, just wish they would expand their movie library. Must be quite alot of redtape on the films.

Hulu has the potential to be great, but unfortunately they're highly constrained by their content distributors who are fearful of cannibalizing DVD sales and haven't managed to convince advertisers that ads displayed in digital content are presented to an audience that is at least equally it not more captive than that of TV. It's kind of a shame too, because the product is stellar, and they're capturing a new audience who wouldn't otherwise get exposed to the advertising present in Hulu shows and movies.

It is really useful for watching episodes of show that you missed!! Now you go do other things, and then catch it on Hulu! http://www.Hulu.com/

Great for quickly finding episodes, such as 24 or Lost, that you might have missed. Sure beats clicking around network sites like abc.com, nbc.com, and cbs.com, to find a TV episode.
