Man, I Love Hulu

Forget the iTunes Store and NBC.com, I’ve recently become hooked on one of the coolest places to watch television on demand: Hulu.com.Hulu is like a cross between the iTunes Store and YouTube, allowing users to watch tons of video clips, episodes and even entire movies. I’ve primarily been using it to watch episodes television shows when I’m on my lunch break. It’s a great way to catch up on new episodes of The Simpsons, or revisit the entire run of Arrested Development. The video quality is a cut above YouTube, while not necessarily built for full-screen viewing (although you certainly have that option).Hulu, according to the ever-reliable Wikipedia, is a joint venture between NBC Universal and Newscorp. This explains the large number of NBC and FOX television shows on there. The shows do have commercials, but thankfully it’s just a short 30-second spot per break. The Hulu videos also allow you to fast forward, jump to chapters, and dim the rest of the page for “dark room” viewing.If you’re trying to kill some time, or quench your curiosity about a show without buying it, check out Hulu.com.
