This is one of those posts even my husband can get excited about.  You got it - free tv (and movies and SNL clips and Buffy reruns and…).  Hulu has been in beta since last fall, and they just went live to the public last week, so this past weekend I checked it out.  Now you can get your Big Lebowski fix anytime, anywhere (that you have your computer with a high speed internet connection set up).  You can also watch shows from Fox, NBC and selected other stations.  Evidently, you can also embed Hulu shows (or clips of shows) in other websites.  There are ads, but from my sampling period, not as many as watching regular TV.

You can set up an account in Hulu to manage shows you want to watch.  So you can surf through, select shows that are interesting and save them to watch later, or let Hulu know that you want to watch certain issues regularly, like The Simpsons, and then that show will automatically go to your queue each week.

Thus continues the merger of TV with the internet and the disconnect between watching shows at a pre-specified time.  It all sounds good to me.
