He [Hulu's CEO] has won [the TV networks] support by explaining the obvious: In a world of limitless choice, 10-year-olds are no longer going to race home to catch a TV show.

The media companies no longer have a choice: If they don’t put their shows online, someone else will.

If you leave in the US, you already know Hulu, Fox and NBC Universal’s answer to YouTube, where you can stream hundreds of recent and less recent TV episodes and movies. Wired has a piece about its creation, from when everyone in the Silicon Valley believed it would fail to its 8 million monthly users last month!

Mad Men (Emmy’s favorite this year, and also mine), Family Guy, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Office, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Monk, Arrested Development, The Simpsons, Saturday Night Live and more great shows available on Hulu as full episodes, full-screen, in some kind of HD, with very limited commercial breaks. And even some great movies like Requiem for a Dream, Sideways, Lost in Translation… I’m addicted.

I guess that makes about a bit more than half of the US American online video consumers happy:

Hulu, a joint venture between NBC and News Corp. offers full-length shows and movies but also popular clips to snack on, YouTube style.

PS: Probably only available if you live in the US of A, sorry guys.
