TV Shows Whenever! | Hulu

TV shows have now (legally) joined the internet!

Today, Hulu was opened to the public. This new site offers MANY popular TV shows.

This project has the support of NBC Universal , Sony, MGM, FOX and over 50 other media companies.

The shows are accompanied by small commercials and they are doing something I thought was quite creative, they allow the viewer to select which of two commercials they want to watch. Nobody likes commercials but at least you get to pick your poison?

Here is a taste of some of the shows they have:

  • The Simpsons
  • Family Guy
  • The Office
  • Monk
  • Psych
  • Firefly
  • The A-Team (yes, Dr. T!)
  • Prisonbreak
  • House
  • Arrested Development
  • Heroes
  • 24
  • Terminato: Sarah Conner Chronicles
  • Saturday Night Live
  • Super Bowl Ads
  • I Dream of Jeanie

Here is an alphabetical list of the dozens of shows they have.


Its movie list wasn’t as impressive but included:

  • Ice Age
  • Master and Commander
  • The Simpson’s Movie
  • The Usual Suspects
  • Man on the Moon
  • Juno
  • October Sky
  • Live Free or Die Hard
  • X2: X-Men United
  • Speed

Here is an alphabetical list of all their movies
