NBC and News Corporation (Fox) have joined forces to bring the world Hulu.com - an unlikely name to stir such feelings of appreciation.
Strange name or no, the site is getting it right. The main shows I use it for are The Office and 30 Rock - all of the new episodes are available the day after they originally air (which happens to work better for my schedule, anyway).
Quality shows, when I want them, for free. The two main things that has taken me away from regular broadcast TV are the strict timeframe and the commercials. Hulu has regular TV beat on both fronts. I don't mind commercials, per se, but the current overabundance of commercials on TV are squeezing out the entertainment like so many weeds choking out my lawn (that last metaphor is all too close to home, sadly). Granted, there is a little bit of advertisement on Hulu, but it is manageable - it almost makes me want to give the advertisers my business.
