Hulu.com out of beta, open for one and all

Hulu.com out of beta, open for one and all - in the U.S.

That's right TV fans, Hulu.com is out of beta, anyone can set up an account and check out both short clips or full length episodes of many TV series and movies. Unfortunately the HD library is still limited to just movie trailers but while we wait for more 720p Adobe Flash content to hit the site, maybe the backing of FOX, NBC Universal, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc., Sony Pictures Television will provide something interesting to watch, with even more content on the way from Warner Bros. Television Group, Lionsgate, NBA and the NHL. We'll see how successful this experiment is, but go ahead and take a look, because we both know you don't have anything better to do than watch 34 episodes of Airwolf in a browser window.

ive been in beta for a month now... i love hulu... THEY HAVE WEIRD SCIENCE EPISODES!!!!

They were just okay the first week i got them, but the streaming, and quality got so much better in that one month time span...

Congrats Hulu!! I'm a fan!

PS, the 30 second commercials arnt really a burden... The only thing i didnt like was tht Married With Children didnt have the original "Love and Marriage" theme song... It's just not the same :-(

The reason that Married With Children didn't have the original theme on some episodes is because they couldn't get the rights for it when they went to release it on DVD.

The DVD box sets are the same way..:(

Highly Ranked

Just love this whole 1980s retro scene at the moment. Hulu certainly helps me re-live those years. Hopefully Knight Rider 2008 will be picked up for the Fall (and they'll give the car and The Hoff more to do).

In the meantime I'm enjoying the awesome new, digitally remastered Airwolf soundtrack that they've just released called 'Airwolf Themes' which you can download off Apple iTunes Store, or from their official website where there are great teaser samples, http://www.airwolfthemes.com/ I think Hulu's Airwolf pheneomenon is just the tip of the iceberg and really just setting us all up for an Airwolf revival movie too.

Highly Ranked

Hey! I like Airwolf even if I don't have a lot of time on my hands. I've been watching it on www.airwolf.tv but it's cool to see the source now that Hulu is open for business. The commercials aren't too bad.
I can't believe the library these folks have. I think I'll watch some Miami Vice when I get done with my 34th episode of the other, then on to some old movies.
Everyone should check it out. Amazing.
Y'all didn't post a direct link to Hulu, so here it is:

There is some nice stuff on this service. The software seems to be better than software Fox and CBS are using. I plan on watching The Tick for the first time.
