Ok, a confession here. I'm a little embarrassed by it... It's about my wife. OK, here goes... she's an addict. Over the course of our marriage I've tried to help her with this compulsion for the black and white varieties, but to no avail. Old Movies. She can tell you who played in every Alfred Hitchcock Movie and who played with Carrie Grant in House Boat. I just can't watch. I'll last 10 minutes and I'm out. It's like quick acting Mega-Melatonin straight to my brain, but she loves them. While we try not to rot our brain's with too much TV, one of the coolest things we've found lately is the website "Hulu". Now she can satisfy her addiction and I can search for something in COLOR!
Hulu has thousands of movies and TV shows online. Totally legit and free! Not just the obscure YouTube home movie type, but current and popular TV episodes and movies from Fox, NBC, Sony, MGM, etc. You can watch by genre, alphabetical order, or do your own custom search. A personal DVR at your fingertips. Search and queue your favorites for your own (unlimited) personalized TV "network" or movie theater. Most TV episodes are added a day after airing. The content is viewed online so there is no download wait time, depending on your internet connection. Signing up is free and allows you more flexibility on the site. There is an upgraded subscription available, but I haven't found the need to do that. We get all we want right now, and don't mind the few (short) commercials. I love Netflix, but find the selection at Hulu unbeatable. For the full effect, spend a few dollars to connect your laptop/PC to your TV(instructions at YouTube.com) and viola! Huge selection, current movies, TV episodes, documentaries, trailers and even the vintage black-and-whites... and it's FREE! How cool is that?
