TV internet style
Filed under: Hmmm
Anybody else found Hulu, yet? I had heard of it but just recently had a chance to take a short look at it. It’s kind of a neat idea. You can find a lot of the shows you enjoy on there and it has fewer adds than regular tv. I don’t think it will replace tv, because they don’t allow a lot of the newer shows, least not the ones I am interested in. However, when that is the case I can often find the newest episodes on the stations web site, often free to view, other than the adds. Which is great because if I miss an episode I can log on and watch the show. With just a little bit of work you can even hook your computer up to your tv and watch the shows like you normally would. It is really quite nice.
I needed to take a break recently and had been thinking about what activity I could do that would require little interaction and thought of tv, of course. The only problem was that there was nothing on at the time, then I remembered hearing mention and seeing the tv commercials about Hulu so I went to the site and checked it out. I think at the time I was looking for Two and a Half Men episodes, but they didn’t have full episodes on the website for the tv station so I was trying to find another place that might have it. Hulu didn’t, but it did have a whole lot of other shows I hadn’t seen in a long time. They had episodes of Simon & Simon, MacGyver, A-team, Remington Steele and a whole lot of the newer cartoon shows. I was really surprised by what was available. I spent a little time and enjoyed watching the first episode of Remington Steele again and that was fun, exactly what I needed. Brain relaxation, with no requirement for actual thought. I will definitely be going back to watch some of the other shows they have.
