NBC Universal and News Corp. have released their own video site. It's called Hulu and offers high-quality episodes of shows like 24, The Simpsons, Prison Break, Heroes, Bionic Woman and My name is Earl.
At Hulu, you'll find a vast selection of premium programming across all genres and content types including hit shows, movies, clips and more.
Hulu offers current primetime shows like The Office, Prison Break, Bionic Woman, House and Bones, and episodes from TV classics like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Miami Vice, Arrested Development and more. We've also partnered with premier content owners like E! Entertainment, FUEL TV, SciFi Network and USA Networks to add to our growing collection of premium programming.
Hulu is designed with a singular focus on providing an exceptional, online video viewing experience. You can customize the experience to fit your viewing preferences - watch videos in full screen, or pop out the video player and place it anywhere on your computer screen and re-size it if you're multi-tasking. You can even dim the lights and mute the rest of the browser window so nothing distracts you from the video you're watching.
It's currently in beta, if you want to try it out you can enter your e-mail at
Hulu.com to get an invitation. All videos are available in high quality and are free of charge. Hulu is monetizing the videos with a mixture of banner, pre-roll and other type of ads. I haven't had the chance to try it out yet but Hulu users report the service works pretty good.
