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.

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.

I have never seen the Firefly episodes, although I become a browncoat after watching Serenity. I think you guys are the best thing to come since...well..TV I guess. I can now view my favorite shows after they play on TV, which means I get to FINALLY catch up and find out what all my friends are talking about. PS Hulu, I declare thee Joost slayer! Thanks Hulu!

"The Train Job" was a hastily-assembled replacement for the actual two-hour pilot, "Serenity", which FOX didn't air until after the series had been cancelled. "Serenity" (parts 1+2) are actually the first episodes (not to be confused with the Universal Pictures film, also called "Serenity"). Rock on, Browncoats!

"Tin Man" was an amazing film and if I was still teaching my film classes (at a NY public school) I would be using it, along with "Little Miss Sunshine," for that too is a new version of "Oz." I am thrilled you are including some films into the mix of offerings and will be sending you folks a detailed email in the next day or so, about stocking the archive with films that teachers would use in school, with their classroom computers hooked into a LCD projector and speaker system. The potential is huge for creating a "national curriculum" of teachable films, available to every teacher, anytime...... I run a website for the Newsday In Education department, on Long Island, outside of NY. The Multimedia Program delivers lesson plans to teachers, much in the same manner Hulu works.....but more about that in my email..... Thank you for allowing me into the beta test and I will be contacting you soon.....and I am very impressed with all that I have seen so far.... in quality, variety and potential....

I agree, it's easier to understand the series when viewed that way. Thanks for keeping us honest!

You off or something? You'd think with highly recommending something you'd know that the little fact of this NOT being the pilot, wouldn't you? Might want to review your DVD, mate.

Keep up the great work. ps OMG you have the original Miami Vice, and Battlestars old and new. Hold me back or I'll run a marathon down memory lane. What a joyous holiday season is coming up!
