Hulu

Illegal downloading scares me. Am I chickenshit, or did I just wise up after my friend was sued? Regardless, Web sites offering legal downloads are on the rise, so there’s nothing to fear. Major and most cable networks have streaming videos on their sites, but Hulu brings them all together. The diversity of television content is impressive, but the movie selection leaves a little to be desired. Where else can you find The Rockford Files nestled next to ExoSquad? Hulu also has complete episodes of some of the hottest shows like Heroes and The Office. The content is ad-supported, but the quality is good, even if it can show a bit of lag at peak hours. No clue what “hulu” means, but it could translate as “Welcome, scaredy-cats. Enjoy Doogie Howser, M.D. on us!”
