Have you watched TV online? Chances are, you’ve been to one of the most popular video streaming sites – Hulu.com. You will find a variety of past television episodes to watch.

However, it is sad that people outside the United States cannot access Hulu movies online. However, for those in the US, getting access to Hulu movies is free and a great way to pass the time.

If you are one of those people who always miss your favorite shows on the subway, then going to Hulu is a must. The website is a joint venture of ABC, Inc, Fox Entertainment Group, and NBC Universal. It is funded by Providence Equity Partners. Its name is based on the Mandarin term “Hulu” which means “the guardian of precious things”. This is a relatively good term for a website that contains great TV videos and movies.

Whether you’re looking for Hulu Glee or maybe Hulu 30 Rock, this site is the place to be. If you want to watch some movies on the weekend, you don’t need to rent a movie anymore because you can use your Hulu desktop to your heart’s content.

The Hulu company that powers Hulu TV went live in August 2007, but still had to undergo a series of tests. It went public in the United States on March 12, 2008.

It was first announced on NBC’s Super Bowl XLIII broadcast. The ad starred Alec Baldwin as an alien whose main goal in life is to destroy the world as we know it. Other announcements were launched that year to introduce the American public to the existence of free Hulu movies.

By April 30, 2009, Disney joined the company and by 2010 Hulu began to make a lot of money. Hulu’s site is ranked by Alexa.com as the 35th most popular site in the United States and is ranked 201st in the world.

Today, the website is one of the most popular video streaming sites in the US as it not only streams shows from ABC, FOX, and NBC, but also has samples from other channels. This includes Bravo, Current TV, PBS, Fuel TV, USA Network, NFL Network, FX, Speed, Style, Syfy, E !, Sundance, Big Ten, Versus, G4, Oxygen, and many more.

In addition to watching Hulu TV on your desktop or laptop, you also have the option to watch Hulu on TV. If you have PlayOn software and have consoles that work with that software, you will be able to watch Hulu directly on your TV.

Those who are addicted to watching their favorite shows on Hulu found this new offering quite surprising because it is like enjoying TV the traditional way and there is no need to wear headphones or use the largest monitor in the house to watch your favorite shows.
