All Seasons of COMMUNITY Now Available on Hulu Plus

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: December 2nd, 2011 at 2:53 pm

Since NBC has decided to pull the series from its midseason schedule, next week marks the last episode of Community for the foreseeable future. While fans won’t be getting new episodes of the show until spring it’s presumed, “Troy and Abed in the Morning” fans will be able to catch up with the series as all three seasons are now available on Hulu Plus. Last night’s new episode drew the show’s biggest audience in two months, so hopefully NBC will come to their senses and put this brilliant series back on the air sooner rather than later. Until then, head on over to Hulu to relive one of the smartest series currently on TV. And if you missed last night’s stellar episode which featured the return of Abed as Batman, hit the jump.

Bidding War Breaks out over New Season of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: October 5th, 2011 at 9:30 am

The recent announcement of a new season of Arrested Development just happened a few days ago and a bidding war has already broken out between several prospective buyers looking to snag the rights to the eagerly awaited new episodes of the canceled Fox comedy series. Netflix and Showtime were said to be in the running when the news broke over the weekend. Now Vulture has word that Hulu is entering the mix as well. Personally, I’d like to see the series actually end up on television again to get the maximum audience possible, but if the only buyer is Showtime, then the pay cable service doesn’t exactly make it any easier to watch than if it were on Netflix. Either way, it sounds like fans are going to have to pay money to one of these three services in order to watch new episodes of Arrested Development, but for fans who have been thirsty for more of the Bluth family, I don’t think that will be an issue.

Hulu Plus Available on XBox Live Beginning Tomorrow

by Jason Barr    Posted: April 28th, 2011 at 4:16 pm

Beginning tomorrow (a.k.a. Friday, April 29th), Hulu Plus subscribers will be able to stream the service’s content via XBox Live. Functioning similarly to Netflix’s downloadable XBox 360 app, Hulu Plus will also be compatible with the console’s Kinect motion sensor so that users can control video playback with the appendage of their choice. Per Variety, Hulu Plus’ $8/month price point will remain intact and the launch will simply allow current and future subscribers the convenience of partaking in the service through their 360 console.

In order to promote the launch, Hulu is currently offering new users a free week of their subscription service through May 6th. While I enjoy Hulu’s free service, I’ve yet to completely buy into Plus. Call me a skeptic, but I’m just not sold on the extra content being worth $8/month (although the 360 streaming is a nice start). What are your thoughts? Are you among the service’s near one million paying customers? If so, do your best to sell me on its merits in the comments section.

Hulu Launches Preview of Subscription Service, Hulu Plus

by Jason Barr    Posted: June 29th, 2010 at 4:28 pm

In April, we reported Hulu’s announcement that it would soon launch a pay-for-play service with a price-tag of $9.99 per month. Today, Hollywood Reporter is saying that a preview of the subscription service, known as Hulu Plus, has gone live. Briefly, Hulu is quick to mention that the subscription service allows users to view their favorite content in high-definition on multiple screens – PC’s & Macs, Apple’s iPad & iPhone, as well as select new Samsung Blu-ray players/home theater systems and televisions.

In case you’re not already digging in your wallet for a crisp ten dollar bill, hit the jump for more information on what your money will actually buy you with Hulu Plus.

Are You Willing to Pay for Hulu? Popular Online Site to Start Charging $9.95 for Hulu Plus

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: April 22nd, 2010 at 9:33 am

Back in January, we reported Hulu was considering a pay model to view their older content.  With the extremely popular site struggling to turn their huge traffic into revenue, it seemed like the 2-year-old service, which is owned by media giants News Corp., NBC Universal and the Walt Disney Co., would at least try a subscription service to see what might happen.  And according to a new report in the LA Times, it’s looking like the site will launch the service at the end of May for $9.95 a month and it’ll be called Hulu Plus.

The article says Hulu would continue to provide the five most recent episodes of shows like Fox’s Glee, ABC’s Lost or NBC’s Saturday Night Live for free, but if you want to watch older episodes you’d have to sign up for the service.

Are You Willing to Pay for Hulu?

by Bill Graham    Posted: January 21st, 2010 at 2:39 pm

Hulu, the popular no-charge online TV and movie service offered by a number of network TV stations and other media giants, will be looking into a pay model that could cost you to view some of the older content on the site in an effort to draw revenue. This comes as no surprise, but how much has always been a hot topic of contention.

The LA Times is reporting that Hulu will strongly consider a model of $4.99 per month for older content, while maintaining the ability to stream the five most recent episodes of a current TV show. The article points out that Hulu aims to have at least 20 TV series in full to make the price point viable for an audience that has been fed a steady diet of free. Uncited sources in the article claim that we could see a pricing model within six months.

For more on what TV shows Hulu is thinking of charging for and why The New York Times and Pandora are joining the pay model, hit the jump.

Apple May Offer TV as a Subscription Service for $30 a Month

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 2nd, 2009 at 12:35 pm

Whether you’re a god-like Mac-user of a filthy leper with a PC (I’m the latter; damn one of my lips just fell off), Apple may soon be offering you the opportunity to watch TV via its iTunes service for only $30/month.  Therefore, while you wouldn’t own any of the TV programs you watch, you would have the ability to watch all the TV programs you want…provided that TV networks decide to once again join forces with the brushed-aluminum side.  Hit the jump to see if you’ll be changing the channel to Apple (hopefully without their snide, condescending ads).

Watch FAMILY GUY ‘Road to the Multiverse’

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: September 29th, 2009 at 3:36 pm

If you read Collider on any sort of regular basis, you know I don’t typically post an article saying you need to watch a TV show. Saying that, I laughed my ass off watching this week’s “Family Guy” episode called Road to the Multiverse and wanted to share it as Hulu makes it easy. The premise is Stewie creates a remote that lets him jump between alternate universes, so he takes Brian along for the ride. And while some shows might try and stay in one or two universes for the entire episode, they sometimes jump after only a few seconds. But the reason to watch this episode is for when they enter the Disney universe at the 9:30 mark. Trust me, the joke at the end is awesome. Also, they enter the world of “The Flinstones” and “Robot Chicken”. If you’re curious, watch it after the jump:

AT&T creates its own Hulu

by David Corbin    Posted: September 12th, 2009 at 3:28 pm

Like the old saying goes, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. AT&T, parent company of television provider U-verse, has developed AT&T Entertainment, a new online destination for streaming media. Like Hulu, the site features content from the major broadcast networks as well as popular cable channels like USA Network, MTV and Syfy. The best part? That content is provided courtesy of Hulu. Hit the jump to find out why AT&T felt the need to clone Hulu, why Hulu agreed, and what repercussions these decisions might cause.

Dick in the Box Part 2 – Motherlover

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: May 10th, 2009 at 8:36 am

If you aren’t a fan of Justin Timberlake on “Saturday Night Live”, you’re missing out on some funny stuff. The guy has hosted the show three times, and each episode has been one of the best of that season. Also, every episode has produced a classic sketch.

Since many of you might have missed last night’s episode, I grabbed two of the best segments off Hulu for you to watch after the jump.

The first one is a new SNL Digital Short called Motherlover. All I want to say about it is…if you saw the classic SNL short “Dick in a Box”, this is part 2! And make sure you notice who they got as guest stars.

The second video isn’t as funny as the first, but it does pertain to “Star Trek”, and I heard that might be a little popular right now. Take a look:
