Currently, I've been watching the following on Hulu:

Lost - Season 5

Lie to Me - Season 1

Heroes - Season 4

Celebrity Apprentice - Season 2

Legend of the Seeker - Season 1

Battlestar Galactica - Final Season

Dresden Files - 1 Season

new Knight Rider - Season 1

...and a dash of other reality shows

Very cool website, and they're good about keeping content updated soon after airing.

Boy do you sound like a politician Ted!

Here is the first rule in politics I was taught by my mentor some 40 + years ago:

Rule number 1: Cash in advance both in retainer amount and first day of the week on a regular account.

Rule number 2: There are no other rules, see rule number 1.

In essence, never work for an if I am elected job.

Oh, yeah, like anyone would want Algore's pot smoking potato-sack of a

son, Patti Davis, or John Edwards' bastard out of Carolina.

I repeat, my first born child for anyone who can procure me full episodes of Butterflies or The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrrin on line.

My firstborn child goes to the person who can find me episodes of Butterflies and The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin on line.

I'm salivating.

Does he come with a cookbook?

Hey! Wait a minute. Do you have a first born child?

There was no child and there is no money in the treasury.

Therefore, you all must produce more or ...

Has anyone here watched or, more to the point, enjoyed the series Jericho?

Awesome series. Shame it was so short...

Hulu has just added a rich tapestry from '90s television, one of the best-written, most perfectly acted series of the last few decades: the single cruelly short season, in full, of "My So-Called Life."

I've written thousands of net.words about the virtues of this series since its debut, 15 years ago this week, many of them centering on how well the series portrayed teenagers — played by superbly talented teenagers (what a concept!) — and, equally vivid, the families and teachers they encountered.

That's the core of my review for Amazon.com of this series. Which DVD set you will, methinks, find yourself compelled to buy from the series' sheer dramatic quality, after you've sampled only a few of the 19 episodes on Hulu (about 48 minutes each).

Claire Danes, who at age 15 won a Golden Globe for her portrayal of Angela Chase, is the epicenter of a dramatic earthquake that told sprightly, emotional, intricate, sometimes comedic, but always fascinating tales. Angela, who narrates all but two of the episodes in voiceovers, is finding out about what friendship, fidelity, intellect, passion, and disappointment are all about, set against the lives of her friends and family.

The main narrative line is of Angela being riveted on a smolderingly handsome "bad boy" of unknown strengths and vanishing potential, Jordan Catalano, portrayed with grace and unexpected depth by Jared Leto. Yet the riffs on this plot line bring in utterly unexpected side issues and new personal adventures, mostly from Angela's having to deal with both old friends and new, despite her own shortcomings and lack of knowledge.

You'll see many tropes and situations that have found their way into series TV in the 15 years since, but "MSCL" told them first, freshest, and best.

The production values are also superb, from humorously aware dialogue, to a brilliant music score, to its visual and sound strengths. Its producers, Marshall Herskovitz and Ed Zwick, also created the very different "thirtysomething" and "Once and Again" series, along with a host of other TV and movie creations, almost all with strong protagonists.

Pioneers are usually distinguished, as the un-P.C. aphorism goes, by the arrows in their backs, and this series was very much thrown aside by ABC due to the savage twists of ratings. The network didn't know what a scintillating creation it had, and didn't try to give it half a chance for its audience to build. That didn't happen until MTV showed it — even before ABC had cancelled it! — and thus raised its audience, above the fodder fed to it, by fifty IQ points.

Hulu is helping to continue expanding the audience this creation always deserved. If you want a series that is worth your investment in streaming-video time, and at all remember high school as being something better than a living hell, you will enjoy "My So-Called Life."

I watched the thirteen episodes of the unfortunately canceled Kings on Hulu. The production values were fantastic ($4 million an episode!) and the concept of a 21st century absolute monarchy was very novel. Since Charlie's Angels was one of Ayn Rand's favorite, I'll probably give that a try.

> Claire Danes, who at age 15 won a Golden Globe for her portrayal of Angela Chase, is the epicenter of a dramatic earthquake that told sprightly, emotional, intricate, sometimes comedic, but always fascinating tales. Angela...is finding out about what friendship, fidelity, intellect, passion, and disappointment are all about...

Greybird, I completely agree with you. "My So-Called Life" was flat out wonderful! But so has been almost anything by Herskowitz and Zwick.

Sometimes people speak disparagingly about 'teen dramas'. As if only stories about adults or those over 21 counts as serious or intelligent literature. As if only those who are adolescents could be interested in stories about those between the ages of 12 and 22. But the decade when one grows from boy to man, when one grows from girl to woman are enormously interesting and crucial years, when character and values and big ideas and fundamental premises and sense of life are heavily tested and formed. I've always liked those kind of dramas (and sometimes comedies).

By the way, another director who was excellent at telling stories about that period (movies in his case) was John Hughes --- Ferris Bueller's Day Off; Weird Science; The Breakfast Club; Some Kind of Wonderful; Sixteen Candles; Pretty in Pink; Planes, Trains and Automobiles; Uncle Buck; Home Alone --- who just died.

Zwick also directed the film "Courage Under Fire" -- about adults this time and the military -- which I've seen many times and will see many more times. I'm looking forward to seeing his film "Defiance" about Jews fighting the Nazis. I strongly suspect it will be better than the movie which just came out on almost the same subject ( "Inglorious Basterds" - by the lowlife responsible for "Kill Bill".)

I loved Claire Danes with Leonardo Di Caprio in Romeo and Juliet, which is otherwise one of my least favorite of his plyas. I'll have to check this out.
