Hulu: Watch Favorite TV Show Episodes Online

Tags: , , | Added: 4 May, 2008 (1,333 Views)

The best TV shows and movies website so far. If you like to watch stuff online then Hulu is for you. Hulu has two main sections, TV and Movies. Both are quite populated and offer rich choice of fresh TV show episodes and movies that can be freely watched in full-screen mode. All free and 100% legal.

Watch TV Show Espisodes and Movies Online

(1) Watch TV Shows Episodes Online

Watch your favorite episodes of Family Guy, The Office, The Simspons, Arrested Development, 30 Rock, Battlestar Gallactica, Scrubs, House, American Dad and many other TV Shows online for free. You don’t have to pay for anything and can play past episodes at any time.

Watch House Episodes online

Other features include:

  • Browse TV episodes by Network, Genre (Comedy, Crime, NBA etc.), Popularity or Aphabetically.
  • Subscribe to favorite shows in your feedereader.
  • Add multiple episodes to playlists and watch all of them together.
  • See what’s most popular today, this week, this month and all time favorites.

(2) Watch Favorite Movies Online

In movies section you can jump directly to the movie of your choice or find something to watch by going over the most popular section. Additionaly you can browse movies alphabetically, by genre or even movie studio.

One really cool feature is that you can subscribe to your favorite shows or channels and get notified whenever the new videos are added. Hulu offers feeds that have videos embedded into them so that you can watch them directly from within your primary RSS news reader (i.e. Google Reader). Check out list of available feeds here.

At the moment the service is available only within the United States; access to Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia is on the way. When it comes to other countries here is what Hulu has to say:

Hulu is committed to making its content available worldwide. To do so, we must work through a number of legal and business issues, including obtaining international streaming rights. Know that we are working to make this happen and will continue to do so. Given the international background of the Hulu team, we have both a professional and personal interest in bringing Hulu to a global audience.

If you don’t feel like waiting then I suggest you to check out SurfTheChannel. It can’t compete with Hulu when it comes to quality but has a giant video libray.

    Ya know, ya could use a proxy to watch Hulu movies, it will be a bit slow and will (almost certainly) be breaking their Terms of Service, and possibly even the law, so I have been a good boy and not done it!
