The TV is trying to kill me....

I have never been the type to seriously watch a lot of TV. I have a few favorite shows however, aside from South Park, I have never really sat aside time to watch them on a regular basis. Now, enter the one thorn in the ointment, a fly in my soup, Hulu.

Hulu is, in its most broken down form, another YouTube-esque video viewing site. It will show you TV shows, some recent and others old favorites, but the one thing YouTube doesn't do for me is set up a queue. Once I registered with Hulu, I started finding shows that I enjoyed (House in particular) were updated about as frequent as the episodes on TV. From there it was as easy as saying a show was my favorite and every week I am reminded that I have a show to watch. Hulu even goes to the trouble of saving the episode to my personal queue so that I can easily find it!

I now am addicted to a bevy of shows. I can't stop watching. I find myself checking Hulu as soon as I wake up in the morning to see, much like Santa Claus, what Hulu has brought me.

My current list:
House MD
Lie to Me
Fringe
Hell's Kitchen
Dilbert
Family Guy
American Dad

If you are interested in high quality programming, with little effort on your part, and about 1 minute of commericals per hour of programming I encourage you to run screaming from Hulu in fear that you will become a brain slug like I am.
