Hulu

Don't you wish YouTube was higher quality? Not just the content it provides, but the whole media service itself as well? Take a gander at Hulu, a new video service that has high quality tv shows and some HD quality movies. The list of shows they offer is still growing but they offer whole seasons of a good handful of shows you most likely watch, oh yeah... it's all free too.

Some tv shows come with commercials, but they are 30 seconds or less, so you're back to your show in no time. Plus the ads that I have seen are usually not too bad, I've seen only Chevrolet and Saturn commercials, both cleaver ads that show how economically sound their hybrids are. definitely no "as seen on tv" ads here!

With a nice clean slick player, Hulu really has done it right. I have moused over the video so the controls are shown in the screen shot above, but normally you would just see the video playing in a nice black gradient surrounding, or you can view in fullscreen with nothing but your video on the screen. It's pretty awesome, go check it out for yourself!
