We cannot perform at our peak 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. On occasion we need to disengage, kick back, relax and re-energize. For me, I prefer to relax with a good movie or television show. The bummer about TV is that inevitably, what I want to see, is not on when I have time to sit down and watch it (yes, I don't own a Tivo). The Internet is changing that.
If I may be so bold; This technology shift, that finally merges TV, Movies and the Internet, is called Hulu. Hulu is a website offering a a ton of popular TV shows and full length movies on-demand. ...and here's the best part; It's all Free!
Hulu is a joint venture between NBC Universal and News Corp. Hulu offers online TV and Movies from more than 50 content providers including FOX, MGM, NBC, Sony Pictures Television Warner Bros., and Lionsgate. Hulu was founded in March 2007 and officially launched their website on March 12, 2008. Hulu has a simple, easy to use, easy to search, easy to navigate user interface. What separates Hulu from any of the other online video websites is the huge amount of quality online content. The folks who own Hulu, own a ton of content. The technology to display the content already existed, NBC and News Corp just needed to pony up the initial content. And they did; making Hulu the poster child for the future of on-demand television.
Hulu offers full-length episodes of not only current hit shows like My Name is Earl, The Simpsons and The Office but also classics like The Bob Newhart Show, Miami Vice and Hill Street Blues, and in some cases, as with Arrested Development or Friday Night Lights, they have every episode ever aired. The full length movie collection includes Field of Dreams, Meet Joe Black, and Psycho, to name a few.
I would highly recommend giving Hulu a try. Click play below for a quick introduction to Hulu.
Special shout-out to my son Kyle for turning me on to Hulu! Thanks Kyle!
