I’m exploring Hulu tonight a bit. Found old Alfred Hitchcock hours and decided to watch one. I think the date on this was 1964 and I may have watched the original broadcast as a young boy. Listening to Hitch’s intro of the episode, I know I didn’t catch all the subtleties back then. I’m not sure I even liked the show but it’s enjoyable now and I have several of them in my queue. Hulu stocks season 1 and 2.

If you don’t have a Hulu account yet, I encourage you to check them out. Playback is pretty good at full-screen on my 15-inch MacBook Pro. They have a cache of old shows (Mary Tyler Moore, Barney Miller, Dick Van Dyke Show, Miami Vice, Rockford Files) some new shows (Bones, The Office, My Name is Earl, Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, House) and movies (Usual Suspects, The Big Lebowski, Planet of the Apes).

It’s a social network too. You can leave comments, subscribe to shows, share (send a show to another social site like Facebook or Digg), and embed.

For your screening pleasure this evening I chose the embed option. Here is Mr. Hitchcock introducing this evening’s episode. [Just reviewed the post and Hulu sent along their branding and a commercial. Sorry about that but it’s very short.]
