No streaming on their site (or any third party site I've seen), no "marathons" before the new seasons begin, and their VOD never has more then 3-4 episodes of Mad Men at a time, and never any Breaking Bad. I think they're trying to promote DVD/bluray sales.
Anyone know if they show the latest Mad Men online? My wife is going to be screaming for that when the next season starts.
Hulu - am I missing something?

Is Season 1 up? No? Well screw that then! What's the use?
Season 1 was available until Jan. 10 . . .Season 2 is available until April then Season 3 . . .Lame that all 3 seasons aren't available all the time but its still cool to be able to rewatch the episodes that are there
That said, Breaking Bad's an awesome show and I hope you all are going to watch it!!!

Breaking Bad is the best; the new season starts next month.

Its a money saver if you don't want cable and just want to watch TV when you want to. Problem is that its very limited to what you can watch. I honestly enjoy it for the fact its available whenever you feel the need to check it out. As of now, I watch Burn Notice, Modern Family, Cougar Town, Family Guy, The Simpsons, American Dad, The Cleaveland Show, and 30 Rock all on HULU. But like I said, it depends on what you want to see.
So it's a time saver then too? (to have them all in one spot) Because you can watch the same shows at the network. I wanted to catch up on "Burn Notice" via Hulu but they don't have the entire season up right now. Hulu only shows what is currently offered / streamed by a network right? (FX doesn't show the entire season either and that is where Hulu links the stream)
I just go to some of the sites you all told me about a few months ago…they keep past seasons up.
I recently canceled my cable and am relying on online streaming including Hulu, and so far I've got to say that overall that approach is not ready for prime time…. and probably will never be. It's hard to imagine the networks and cable channels going along with something that would eliminate a key revenue stream.
My biggest beef with Hulu is they blocked streaming via PS3s in order to cave in the idiocy of the content providers who wanted their shows to be only seen on a computer via the service. See a PS3 is no-no since it's only attached to a TV, guess none of the studio morons have ever heard of a home theater computer. Sure was fun to hook my MacBook up to my TV and watch Hulu :)

Thats where Hulu gets you. They'll post up the recent episodes of all shows that are in progress right now. But they will not give you entire seasons unless they have permission.
Now, if you want the full season of shows to watch, go to www.sidereel.com. They've got it all so far from what I'm seeing.
What. Is. Burn Notice? (video)

you can watch full episodes of current TV shows in high quality, on demand… how is that useless? (well, other than the obvious way that watching TV shows is useless… :P)
is there some major functionality missing for you? are you disappointed that you can only watch a certain number of shows on demand? does your hardware, software and/or internet connection not allow for decent performance?
Listen man, who am I to judge if you want to watch clips from Sabrina, The Teenage Witch.
lol.
you have figured out that they also offer full episodes, right?

I've been experimenting with using Hulu in lieu of cable for a few months now, and so I'm able to offer some perspective.
If you like to watch a lot of "Family Guy," then yes, Hulu is the service for you.
I use it to watch Colbert and the Daily Show too – which is great because I rarely watched those shows in real time anyway. If they lose those, I won't have much use for it. Yes, they offer full TV shows, but in my experience thus far, it's rarely the stuff I want to watch.
Microsoft's Media Center has a Hulu-like interface which also has a lot of similar stuff which I also have little interest in. It seems like all of these online services offer only second-tier content, which makes sense – no reason networks and cable channels would give their best stuff away. For that reason I doubt it's going to get any better.

My performance is just fine thank you.;)
