NBC and Fox finally launch their free service TV site, but is it a great site or just another site with free TV shows.
The answer to that is yes it is because it is free. But just like other free
show sites where you can view your favorite shows it does have its downfalls or
perks if you want to put it that way. The problem with most free view sites is
that there's too much ads going on in the background but you can watch your
favorite shows. Hulu has limited commercial interruption or limited ads if you
want to put it that way which don't interrupt you and you can watch all the
shows that are available on their servers.
Hulu however is always constantly lagging no matter how long you leave your
browser on that show. Even if it finishes buffering there is still enough lag
to send the viewer someplace else where there is no lag.
I was watching several episodes of Family Guy and it did this with every
episode. I can't spend time watching each and every single show that is
available on Hulu's servers because there are literally thousands of episodes
available now with more coming in the future. But the episodes that I did watch,
lagged and it basicallu ruined it for me as a viewer.
With most sites the only lag there is, is at the beginning but once the
video buffers there is no lag at all which means that NBC and Fox have a long
way to go before Hulu becomes mine as well as millions of viewers #1 stop for
TV shows.
Zulu is a great site in a sense that they probably have your favorite shows
but that isn't always the case. Sometimes there will only be clips available
with no full length episodes available. Futurama is a show that I was looking
for and all I saw there was clips of episodes. I tried searching for full
length episodes but it doesn't have an option to categorize it by time. It only
has what network it is being broadcasted on and depending on which you pick
will throw you some episodes which you can't tell whether they are full length
episodes or not. Some are and some aren't.
Hulu is a great site and while I may confuse it with Zulu from time to time
it is definitely worth you checking it out. It has all your favorite
episodes... well I wouldn't say all of the episodes but a few episodes of your
favorite show. At this point Hulu has a lot of bugs that need to fixed and
until that happens I don't think I'll make Hulu my #1 site to visit to watch
episodes of Family Guy or Futurama. Yes those are the only 2 show's that I like
out of all of what Fox and NBC have to offer.
Anyway check out Hulu and you be the judge of whether or not it is a great
site, if you haven’t already checked it out.
