On behalf of the Hulu team, I want to wish everyone a warm seasons greetings! I hope you are all finding time to enjoy the holidays with friends and family.
But in case you’re looking for a break from shopping, decorating, feasting, and other seasonal merriment, the Hulu team has pulled together some collections of videos from our growing library.
Collections are lists of videos assembled according to some theme. From funny Alec Baldwin moments to Saturday Night Live commercial parodies, we’ve created a variety of collections for you to enjoy (including a collection of my own personal favorites). If you need some help getting in the holiday spirit, we’ve created two holiday video collections with memorable episodes and clips from The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Doogie Howser, Arrested Development, 30 Rock, and more.
We hope you enjoy our new collections. Have a wonderful holiday season!

You know one thing I might suggest someone taking a look at… is the fact that when I go into a show… for instance, SNL… and want to take a look at one of the TON of clips they have… I will watch one and when I go to pick another clip to watch, it makes us go all the way to the first clips and have to sit there and click and click the arrows to get over far enough to where we left off looking at. Not fun. I give up after a while.
The main site as of December 5 2007 does not show any way to search for the name of a given show.
I absolutely love this; I don’t bother watching tv anymore, I sit with my laptop, do whatever else I’m working on and watch whatever I want.
I love it when if I need to stop watching a show for any reason, when I go back in, there it is at the exact spot I left off.
I don’t mind the commercials; it’s worth it. I love Hulu; the glitches and etc. don’t bother me at all because I know this is destined to be the next great thing! Thank you for hulu!
I got rid of my television almost 20 years ago so I’m not familiar with current television content. However, I do subscribe to Netflix and watch shows that come recommended by friends on DVD. I’m finding Hulu great because it allows me to watch content whenever and wherever I find myself at the moment with (almost) no commercial interruption. I love the interface and the overall accessibility of the site. But I have a few bones to pick with the Hulu concept. First of all, I don’t know why there are only a limited amount of episodes available for certain shows and not the complete seasons (maybe because I’m on Beta??) Some shows have only episodes 10 and 13 available. I normally don’t skip episodes and watch everything pretty much in a linear way. I also noticed that episodes disappear for no reason. That’s annoying and it interrupts the pleasure of watching something new I’ve been curious about or wanting to check it out for a while. I don’t understand the “video clips” idea either. Why would I want to watch a scene or a couple of minutes from a particular episode/show?
One negative side that the Hulu folks cannot be blamed for is that I’m not able to enjoy Hulu on the go using my iPod Touch because it does not play flash video. I know it’s unfair to bring up this issue but if Hulu is all about video on demand, people like me will need to see some inclusive solutions before we become die hard users. Cheers and happy 2008!
What happened to Tin Man?
Another commenter mentioned a disappearing series; I don’t know if we’re talking about the same thing or if things disappear on a regular basis around here.
