Here at Hulu, we know what happens just before Mother’s Day: You suddenly realize the day you're supposed to dedicate mom (and don't forget grandma) is upon you, but you didn't get the card in the mail in time, you forgot to order the flowers, and -- in my case, at least -- you haven't even taken the trash out.

If the clock is ticking and you're still struggling to find a fun, meaningful way to show Mom just how much you love her this Mother's Day, we invite you to share a few clips from the popular movies and TV shows here on Hulu. They may help express your appreciation for all the times she encouraged you when no one else would, pushed you to do better than you thought you could, or told you the truth even when it wasn’t what you wanted to hear. I especially like this clip from The Jerk, where Navin's mom cooks up a great dinner in honor of his birthday.

You can find a few more classic mom moments in our Mother’s Corner collection, but it's also easy to create your own clip from your favorite show or movie on Hulu. Share it with mom by e-mail and it'll arrive in time for Mother's Day. Tell her you made it yourself, and she'll love it even more.

To all the mothers out there, Happy Mother’s Day from Hulu.

Scrubs has been one of my favorites since its premiere in 2001. As J.D. (Zach Braff), Elliot (Sarah Chalke) and Turk (Donald Faison) have grown from fresh-faced interns to full-fledged physicians, I've watched religiously -- which hasn't been easy considering how often it moved between Tuesdays to Thursdays. I'd even make sure "Scrubs night" was set aside so my friends and I could gather to watch. It was our weekly tradition. Now we gather around a computer screen to watch it on Hulu.

We all watch for different reasons: To see what J.D. will daydream next, which ridiculous exercise Dr. Cox will use to torment the interns, or whether J.D. and Elliot will give it a go yet again -- or maybe all of the above, because it's all so hilarious. Meanwhile, J.D.'s single-person narrative and all of the guest stars -- Heather Graham, Tara Reid, Scott Foley and Elizabeth Banks -- just make the show all the more enticing.

We've gone on to see Zach Braff take the lead in Garden State and do a great turn as a filmmaker on Arrested Development, and we're looking forward to seeing what he and the rest of the cast will bring to Scrubs next fall.

Where Scrubs will end up next season is still up in the air. We'll wait and see, but in the meantime, you can watch this season’s medieval-themed finale here on Hulu.

As the Wachowskis' Day-Glo take on Speed Racer hits theaters this weekend, we're happy to welcome the original Speed Racer -- along with Trixie, Spritle, Chim-Chim and Rex Racer -- to the Hulu family.

One of the first successful anime series to cross over to the U.S. from Japan, Speed Racer got its start in the late 1960s and stuck around in syndication for nearly 20 years. Many of us here at Hulu caught the series when it made a comeback on MTV in the '90s (and later on the Cartoon Network), and can't wait to see how the Wachowskis' version holds up to the original.

To catch up on Speed Racer’s roots, tune into any of our 13 episodes -- with more on the way -- to see Speed and his Mach 5 outmaneuver spies, motorcycle gangs and other bad guys with the help of his family and friends. Full of zany humor and lots of revved-up action, one of our favorites is The Race Against the Mammoth Car, a two-part episode complete with homing robots, rotary saws and $50 million in gold bars.

The two-part Race for Revenge stars a brother and sister who are out to beat Speed:

While the original Speed Racer series may not have the CGI and special effects of the Wachowski flick, the fast-paced story lines and vintage anime action can't be beat. Still craving more Speed? Subscribe to the series to have episodes placed in your queue as they're added to the site. Turn on queue alerts and we’ll even send an e-mail to let you know when new Speed Racer episodes have arrived in your queue.

Go Speed Racer, go!

Staying on top of your favorite shows is now easier with Hulu's newly launched subscriptions option. Sign up for a Hulu account, and once you log in, we'll offer the option to subscribe to full episodes and/or clips of any show on our site. Subscribe to full episodes of Family Guy or Battlestar Galactica, for example, and we'll add new episodes of that show directly to your queue, whether it's an episode that just aired on TV or an older episode that's new to Hulu. You can find subscribe buttons underneath the artwork on any show page.

If you ever need to check on or modify your current subscriptions, simply click on "Profile" in the upper right corner of Hulu.com and then click on the "Subscriptions" tab in your profile. You'll see all your subscriptions listed there, and for each of them, you can choose which type: full episodes or clips.

Looking for shows to subscribe to? Visit our newly redesigned Most Popular, Most Subscribed and Recently Added shows pages for some ideas. You can subscribe to any show directly from these pages.

Lastly, we now offer e-mail alerts for your queue. Turn them on for your queue and we'll send a daily e-mail whenever we add a new video from your subscription list to your queue, or if a video in your queue is about to expire. We batch those alerts into a single daily digest, so you'll receive just one e-mail alert if there's activity in your queue that day. You can activate these alerts in your Profile under the "Privacy and Settings" or "Subscriptions" tabs.

With all the technology and gadgets available today, we think it should be easy to keep up with the shows you love. With a few mouse clicks, you can bring your Hulu favorites to your digital doorstep. Give it a try and let us know what you think.

Though Hulu's headquarters is in Los Angeles, most of us call another city home. We are usually too busy to notice this subtle fact, though lately a wave of hometown pride has taken our office by storm. With the Playoffs for both the NBA and NHL in full swing and the best of both leagues battling it out on the hardwood and ice, the competitiveness and trash talking in the office is building to a crescendo only rivaled by the annual Hulu Ping Pong Tournament. With Round 2 kicking off in both leagues, we are excited to feature full games throughout the Playoffs:

as well as classic Playoff games from past seasons:

Also, make sure to check out daily new videos covering all of last night’s NBA and NHL Playoff action. While you are at it, share videos through your Facebook and MySpace pages with your fellow fans, or e-mail clips to your friends to remind them they were rooting for the wrong team.

This is the best time of year for Sports fans, and hopefully we can help ignite your office rivalries, too.

Go Cavs,
