I was browsing someones blogs and actually saw a Google AD that interested me, this ad was for a website which streams live TV Shows and Movies. I am always looking for different media sites to catch up on missed episodes of shows, or so I can help my friends catch up on missed episodes.
Hulu.com totally amazed me the interface is very clean, the resolution of the TV Shows are very good compared to sites like YouTube and Google Video. You can easily browse any TV Show or Movie on the site’s network. To test it I watched part of the recent Heroes Episode 5 – Angels and Monsters, but also I watched the Saturday Night Live Katie Couric – Gov Palin interview which was so funny.
Here is a snapshot of the site:
As with most online media, there are advertisments and commercials, but you can rate them while you watch them, to say if you like them or don’t. Presumably this will have the sponsor show more commercials the audience likes and less that they don’t. I don’t mind a commercial, hey if I am watching free content online, the least I can do is suffer through an ad here and there once and a while.
What I like even more about the site is in each video there is an “Embed” button, when you click on it it provides you with the code to cut/paste into your blog so you can stream the movie or TV Show directly from one of your blog posts.
This site really is amazing, and the video load surprisingly quick.
So, if you ever need to catch up on TV Shows that you missed, go ahead and give Hulu.com a try, you won’t regret it. I can’t believe I found this site by accident from a Google AD.
Here is a sample embed of the Saturday Night Live clip:

- UPDATE
I just learned from a fellow blogger that the Hulu online streaming isn’t supported outside of the United States, and it will block you from watching video outside of the US. Sorry about this folks, I will continue to find something that works globally but darn this is such a good site.

I agree it looks really good, but sadly as the bold message in your sample taunts me…
“We’re sorry, currently our video library can only be streamed within the United States…”
