In case you haven't heard I thought I'd let you in on a new website called Hulu.com.
Hulu is an online video on demand service. They describe themselves as follows:
"... the web's most comprehensive selection from more than 50 content providers including FOX, NBC, MGM, Sony Pictures Television, Warner Bros., Lionsgate, and more to deliver premium programming across all genres and formats, television shows, feature films, and clips. Watch full-length episodes of current primetime TV shows such as The Simpsons and The Office the morning after they air, classics like Miami Vice and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and clips from Saturday Night Live, Nip/Tuck, and others. Hulu also offers full-length feature films like The Usual Suspects, Ice Age, Three Amigos!, and The Big Lebowski as well as clips from films such as Napoleon Dynamite, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Devil Wears Prada and many more. Hulu is free and ad-supported — available anytime in the U.S. "
I thought it was fun to see they had full episodes of old favorites like "WKRP", "A Team", "The Pretender" etc., as well as some new programming as well. If you are a Nick Lachey fan you can watch and relive "Clash of the Choirs" clips. Each episode begins with a 30 second commercial. Half way through a 1/2 hour program is a 10 sec. ad and another ad at the end.
The movie pickings are a little slim, but I presume they will be adding more as time goes on and if they find success. Does anyone out there know what there future plans are for this "service"?
For now there are a bunch of B movies, a couple of childrens shows as well as some classic clips from some of your favorite films. This is one I enjoyed seeing again
Warning! This site is rather addictive. Enter with a time limit or you may find yourself watching all 25 episodes of "Mary Tyler Moore"

Way cool. I will probably stay entertained for quite some time with this site since I'm so far behind in tv and movie watching and just think I won't even have to wrestle anyone for the remote:)
Sounds cool! Too bad I'm already on my butt in front of a computer screen WAY too much with this whole blogging thing!! (Which I love.)
Unfrotunately, it appear that viewing of any of the clips from this site are NOT allowed in Canada!! On all clips I tried to view I got a message saying the the clip was not available in my country or region. Bummer!!! :-(
I get the same message even on the embedded clip on your Blog site.
cool site tracey.!
