It's great. If you don't record shows it's even more wonderful. For the SNL clips it's great. I like funnyordie better, but just MHO. (Best video ever "What's it Gonna be?"

It is a great idea that I can't use. I can't watch TV on my PC, as I am too easily distracted by the other programs all over the place. And I am too lazy to figure out how to hook my PC up to my TV so that I can watch Hulu on my TV through my PC.

Well, you're more or less forced to watch the commercials--that's the current payment for getting Hulu for "free." But it's not so bad as it's only one 30 second commercial every 10-15 minutes or so as compared to the dozen commercials per break you have to suffer through if you watch something on commercial television.

Sadly, Hulu may start to charge, so actually you should make use of it while it's "free." It's great for some things, mediocre for others. For example, it's great for a lot of new shows that you didn't catch--popular ones, primarily, like LOST or HEROS. You miss an episode, it's right there on Hulu. Watch it when you like. It's also great for certain old shows you might have been fond of and want to re-watch. Mostly cheezy ones, some you may not want to remember (M.A.N.T.I.S.! Really? )

They're best for tv, especially catching things like SNL. Movies are "eh."

By all means. Check it out and enjoy.
