I've told everyone within earshot that a new media collaboration between old media companies has never worked and would likely not fly when it came to the Fox/NBCU driven Hulu video site. After finally getting on the private beta, I'm quite wrong so far. Lot's of full-length videos and clips of some of my favorite shows, including 30 Rock, The Simpsons, the Office and SNL. The quality is excellent, and, the videos are also embeddable -- making it possible for you, dear reader to view a few genius moments in television that were previously ensconced away from us because of some copyright issue that you might have heard about.
Natalie Portman meets NWA on SNL...
An awesome bit from 30 Rock...
And, of course, the video that started it all... Lazy Sunday...
Finally, somewhat amazingly, I can simply post a full episode of, say, The Simpsons, too...
NewTeeVee also reports today on how you can see Hulu content without a Hulu beta invite.
Unfortunately, if you live outside U.S. borders, none of the above will work for you. It's a small glint of payback for our dollar being worthless in your country.
