Anybody used these free streaming video sites?

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

I am a little unsure about it. You never know what is on the other end of a computer these days. Better have your virus protection updated first just in case!

Hulu is the long-awaited (in internet time) joint venture of NBC-U and NewsCorp...it's totally legit.

WKRP is there..... :)

I've played around with Hulu somewhat (ooh, that sounds like a euphemism!) and found it to be reasonably good. The option to watch one ad at the start rather than a bunch in the middle of programmes is a nice touch, but it needs a progress bar like YouTube that shows you how much of the movie has loaded. I never watch anything on YouTube until it's loaded completely. Their HD option is pretty nice, but a little less fluid on crappier machines.

Avoid Joost at all costs. The beta was phenominal, the finished product blows.

I've never heard of Watch-Movies before... I'm checking it out now.
