Each week, Hulu’s video editor, Jocelyn Matsuo, shares her latest finds from the Hulu vault.

Ironside, starring Raymond Burr of Perry Mason fame, has all the plot intrigue of a modern detective show, with the swank retro art design of a hipster’s closet. It’s perfect for those of us who grew up watching Nick at Night.

On an academic note, Chief Ironside gives you a time-capsule look at social morals of the ’60s. Check out this episode about the Haight-Ashbury district of San Fran:

It also offers interesting insight at how our language has changed in the last 40 years. Do you think this exchange would fly in 2009? (Then again, Jon Stewart got away with this montage last night.)

Turns out, an alternate definition for that term is “a clumsy or stupid mistake.”

Growing up, we all had our after-school staples. For me, it was a bowl of cereal, my homework and today’s Hulu Days of Summer selection, She-Ra: Princess of Power.

For those who didn’t waste spend precious hours of their youth watching this classic cartoon, She-Ra, twin sister to Eternia’s He-Man , is the alter ego of Princess Adora. She’s part of a great rebellion that is trying to free her home planet, Etheria, from the evil forces of Hordak. Her beloved horse, Spirit, helps with her efforts, transforming into a flying unicorn (no wonder I loved it!) named Swift Wind when the princess calls on the power of Grayskull. As She-Ra, the princess has superhuman strength and agility, a healing touch, and the ability to speak to animals. What more does a girl need, really?

So pull up a beanbag chair, make yourself a giant bowl of Cheerios, and settle in for 26 episodes of She-Ra goodness. And if that’s not enough, there’s plenty of He-Man, too, as well as a new anime series: Slam Dunk. It’s about a social outcast who joins the high school basketball team — to impress a girl, naturally — only to realize he’s an all-star player on the courts.
