I signed up for the Private Beta launch of Hulu, the online service of Fox and NBC. You may remember that NBC and Fox pulled their programs from iTunes and YouTube. Now, this new online service is supposed to be a challenger to both services. Of course on YouTube, you could only watch clips. With iTunes, you could purchase programs for your iPod. Well, after NBC and Fox felt Apple was undercharging for programs, both Fox and NBC split off and formed Hulu. After a couple of months in development, I received an e-mail inviting me to sign up and I did.
Tonight, I watched the pilot episode of Hill Street Blues, one of the most acclaimed TV dramas of all time. I can go into how much I loved the show and used to watch it, but I won’t bore you. You can check out the open here:
The entire 1st season of Hill Street Blues is on Hulu. The first few episodes are early candidates for Videos of the Week.
