I don't watch TV. I don't have cable and my TV doesn't pick up local stations, so the giant screen in the living room is only for watching DVDs and occasionally playing video games. There are a few shows I'd like to keep up with but I can't make them appear on the magic screen.
Enter Hulu.com. It started out as a casual thing. I somehow got sucked into Grey's Anatomy last year and I'd go to Hulu to watch the new episode each week. But on those lonely nights in the ferret room or sitting on my bed with nothing else to do, I found I wanted to watch more than just the latest episode of GA.
I moved on to Glee, Flash Forward, and Modern Family. Before I knew it I was devouring all available episodes of Cougar Town, Saturday Night Live and Community. Conversations with my boyfriend began to center around shows he'd never watched and had no desire to, but which I gleefully quoted and described to him as his eyes glazed over.
I seem to have run out of shows for the time being and will probably soon find myself drifting back to Pogo.com (which is another story entirely) to fill my internet hours. Hulu only has the 5 or so most recent episodes at the time for most shows and now that I've watched all of them I find myself having to wait patiently for the next installment. One episode per week. It's just like I'm watching TV again. But I can't play Battle Phlinx on my TV...
