Netflix gained a lot of favor when it revealed it secured rights to exclusively distribute new episodes of Arrested Development in 2013. It will forever be known as the company that helped bring back a show that was adored by a lot of very dedicated fans. Hulu just announced a similar agreement involving Community. Hulu Plus is now the only place to watch every episode of Community.

Amazon announced that it has made a deal with NBCUniversal that will give it access to part of the Universal Studios movie library. This includes movies such as “Elizabeth,” “Babe” and “Billy Elliott.” The company reached a similar deal with CBS last week that gives it access to 2,000 episodes of older CBS TV series’. more »

The ugly mess known as NBC late night has taken an interesting turn of events. Conan O’Brien, who has so far refused to agree to NBC’s request that he move to the 12:05 timeslot in order to accommodate Jay Leno, announced on Wednesday’s show that he has put the Tonight Show up for sale on more »

You know how the big three networks are all over Hulu and YouTube about copyright and how they fear/need the internet to survive? Blip.tv is what they fear. Today, Blip announced some big changes that are going to mean something to anyone with a TiVo, has Verizon FIOS, or a Sony TV with Ethernet jack.

We’ve all wished at one time or another for some magic delete button in our lives. You know, like when you’ve said something incredibly embarrassing out loud that you thought you were just thinking to yourself. Wouldn’t a delete or rewind button come in handy? On the brand new internet series produced by NBC, the office geek “Stuart” (played by Tony Hale of “Arrested Development” and “Chuck”) finds himself in control of just such an item on his computer.

Every now and then Hulu goes commercial free. Today, Hulu’s comedy channel will be commercial free thanks to a deal with Toyota. Toyota is promoting its newest Prius. If you are unaware, Hulu has several different ways to watch programs and movies. You can do searches for video or use their channels. These channels make more »

Hulu’s a great way to catch up with shows you’ve missed. Their advertising breaks are even somewhat bearable. Tonight will be different though. Tonight, McDonald’s McCafé promotion starts on Hulu. Together they are bringing commercial-free Hulu programming from 7PM EST to 3AM EST. That’s a pretty cool deal. I’d assume that we would see and more »

We’re back with another helpful post on how to find the best in online video. Last time, we covered Joost, Hulu, and Sling. This time, we’re talking about the individual networks. While it may be more work to go to different sites, you will get better quality video and that’s worth the trouble of typing in a few URLs. Also find out which sites to avoid.

Hulu announced today that its content providers have requested Hulu’s content to be removed from Boxee. If you haven’t heard of it, Boxee is a free media center and is an offshoot of the XBox Media Center that currently supports Mac and Linux (Windows support is coming). In the blog post announcing the cut, the Hulu team comes off almost as frustrated as I am as a Boxee-user.

Hulu has a right to be quite frustrated. It just launched a big ad campaign during the Super Bowl. Now is not the time to have your content providers pushing you around and forcing you to alienate part of your user-base. Boxee’s response in its blog was disappointed, but understanding.

Whether you’re a sports fan or not, I’m sure you were aware that the Super Bowl was last night. While the game turned out to be a fun one, there are always the commercials for those not interested in football.

NBC.com, Hulu.com, and NFL.com have all the ads collected on each of their sites. Strangely, NFL.com and Hulu make you sit through an ad before you get to watch a Super Bowl ad. Hulu seems to have the best video player of the three, the NFL site actually has game highlights (in 4:3, why?), and NBC is probably the most convenient since you don’t have to sit through a pre-ad ad.
