Do you Hulu yet?  Here are ten shows that make it worth it.

Hulu
You must have heard all the hype about Hulu by now.  How it gives you the ability to watch your favorite shows online, any time you want.  How it’s easy to use, and so convenient.  How it is—(drum roll here)—FREE.

Granted, there are several different places you can go to watch different television shows, but, I’ve found that for reliability, Hulu is really way up there.  Now, I know my title said TEN reasons, but, I couldn’t knock it down to just ten.  So I’m going with eleven reasons to Hulu.  I know, what a rebel.

Sorry, all you folks outside the US, Hulu only works in the United States right now.  It offers selections from over 50 networks with very limited commercials, although it is ad-based.  It works in a flash video format.  Although it has a lower resolution than standard-definition TV, it is higher in resolution and bit-rate than YouTube or some other online show sites.  Along with the broadcasting networks, Hulu also offers over 100 motion pictures for viewers to watch, ranging from classics to modern.

For the Hulu masters and the Hulu virgins, here are eleven reasons you just may want to check out the site.  Some of these are my personal favorites, some are from people I’ve polled about their favorites.  The Fox network seemed to rule in the rankings, though Hulu does cover them all.  These shows and lots more can be found on the Hulu page for your viewing pleasure any time you like.

FX
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Fox
Prison Break
Fringe
American Dad
The Simpsons
Terminator:The Sarah Connor Chronicles

ABC
Grey’s Anatomy (Hulu flips you over to ABC)
Lost (Hulu again flips you to ABC)

NBC

Heroes
The Office

CBS
CSI (I like most of the CSI’s and since Hulu just tosses you to CBS, I figured I’d just link the original)


What shows would you add to the list of your top ten reasons to Hulu?

    My Monday nights are so full that I have three shows to record simultaneously.  I therefore have to watch Heroes on Hulu every week.  Good stuff.
