Firefly! Awesome! It's a show that's not for everyone but everyone should at least check out to 3 or 4 episodes to see if it is for them. Obviously, the show is for me but a lot of folks are missing out on one of the roughest but wonderful gems in the TV dustbin. I see I’m late to the show here but… um… Firefly! Awesome!

Great job guys, this kicks Joomla in the balls showing no mercy haha. Question though: any plans to add Torchwood? Also, what about more episodes of Outer Limits. One more question: seems like all content so far is PG-13 or less - is this a legal requirement, like can this ever change? Firefly totally rocks, as does the hulu service overrall.

Aside from that I think adding all these Sci Fi series is a good idea. I agree with a poster up above that Star Gate would be a great addition.

It's right there with Alias and Airwolf. I've got them all on DVD box sets but that won't stop me from watching them once I get into the beta. Oh, and I see from the comments above you have Miami Vice?!? Excellent. I guess I'm an 80's TV chick. Roswell is one of my favorite shows ever. It’s right there with Alias and Airwolf.

If the later is true, this is an bad sign for hulu customer service.

Some advice from someone who's worked in online content delivery in customer service - if you pull something, saying nothing about it, and making it look like it was never there causes annoyance. Customers don't need to know the exact legal reasons why something was pulled, nor should they, but letting us know that something has been removed, and some sort of "we apologize for the inconvenience" page helps it look like you care about people who noticed something is missing. Not many companies I've worked with actually take that route. the usual course is to want a site where it looks like nothing is ever removed from because it's cleaner, and execs think (wrongly) that it gives a sense of confidence. When I was working for eMusic, this happened frequently. I understand well that there can't be an announcement when there's a take down of content. That's fine. But not acknowledging a take down with a simple "we're sorry" after the fact is actually a bad idea in that it generates customer animosity. That's all the beta user feedback I have for now.
