Cool, Amy, thanks!

It seems to be mostly a mix of what's available on AOLVideo and Hulu, but I did spot a few that I haven't seen anywhere else yet.

They also have a movies section, although they've only 6 at the moment - The Jerk, October Sky, Bulworth, Weekend at Bernie's, Master and Commander, and Sideways.

Splendid: Alias Smith & Jones.

I'm afraid to watch. I loved the show when I was a kid. Then later I loved the show that Ben Murphy did next, The Gemini Man, about a guy who could turn invisible but only for fifteen minutes at a time. That is, until many years later when I saw an episode on Mystery Science Theatre 3000 and realized that Joel (or maybe the other guy) and the puppets were right: Gemini Man was awful.

It looks like Fancast also has Shannon's Deal, which was created by John Sayles and stars Jamey Sheridan so it can't be bad, no matter what the MST3K crew might say.

Airwolf. Sigh. So bad it was good.

For all the Trekkies- they just added almost ALL of the original episodes to Fancast. 77 of the 79 aired episodes, not sure which two are missing.

Although, the thumbnail pictures do not match the titles on a lot of them.

Does NOT want to know how or why you would know that.

You rock, Melanie!

Hulu.com is now open to the public. They've added a bunch more shows, and even better....

THEY ADDED MOVIES!

Not a ton yet, but enough to get excited about it!

I thought they were just clips?

I don't get it. I really don't. I have no desire to tie up my CPU with movies. If the TV is on, I'm usually still reading news.

*emeleel* · #12 03-13-2008, 08:58 AM

Nope, they've got lots of full-length movies, now, too. Still have a lot of clips, but now they've added full-length as well.

And silly, surfing is what the laptop is for!

*emeleel* · #13 05-28-2008, 10:38 AM

New great place:

SurfTheChannel - Home

LOTS of shows - some work well, some take forever to load. They also have a lot of Britcoms, PBS shows, and for the uber-geeks, they have the *original* Dr. Who episodes! (DH is going to have a cow!

)

Hulu's got Fiddler On The Roof!

frazzledspice · #15 07-18-2008, 01:00 PM

Hmmm....

If I spend $150 on a really comfy new desk chair, I could get used to watching these...

*emeleel* · #16 07-18-2008, 01:05 PM

DH certainly has...

Do you have ANY idea how MANY episodes there are of Doctor Who?!

**amykhar** · #17 07-18-2008, 04:39 PM

Another option to the desk chair is to get a mac mini and hook it up to your television. Then, you could watch Hulu and other internet stuff on your television.

We are seriously considering something like that. There's so much garbage on TV these days we rarely watched anything other than PBS even when we had decent reception. I love being able to watch clean, quality shows whenever I want.
