Only Clips?

I'll give it a glance, I'd watch it, but if they're only giving me clips, they don't deserve a full watch, only a passing glance.

On the other hand if we're talking full episodes then I'd watch it and even sit through the ads.

Not only clips

They say there will be full episodes.

Good - I don't see anything about it being US only.

Bad - They talk about a player, just what I need, more crappy software.

"Competition" to YouTube

Hmm, yeah, i expect this to go the way all the competitors to Google have went.

Absolutely nowhere.

Google ?

I think their main target is ABC. Hopefully they don't give us that "US only" crap.

Curious

As I'm resident in the US and never watch network television, I'm curious about what the posters here would watch on Hulu if it were available. Anybody?

This is what my ReplayTV records regularly that's on network TV in the US:

The Simpsons

House

Moonlight

Bionic Woman

So to answer your question John A Blackley, any of the shows above.

What's really sad is I pay almost $50 a month for analog cable. And the only non-network shows I watch are The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Of course my kids love having The Disney Channel.
