Hulu Invites no longer needed

Yes, all you folks looking for hulu.com invites can now rejoice. Huu.com is now open to everyone, so go on over there and sign up!

Not only is hulu.com open to everyone, but they have added movies and some HD video also. The HD video is now just movie trailers, but it is a start.

Now that hulu.com is open, what should you watch? I recommend if you are looking for some easy cheesy viewing to check out the 70's hit, Nanny and the Professor.

LOST in streaming HD

I am a huge fan of the televison show LOST. As a matter of fact, it is this show that got me started on the whole "Watch internet shows on my TV". We had rented season 1 and watched it and then, as soon as season 2 came out on DVD we watched that. Season 3 had just started it's regular run on TV, but we had no cable, or rabbit ears to watch it with. Then I discovered it was available on the ABC.com site and we could watch it there. That is when I figured out how to hook up the TV to the computer and the rest is history.

LOST has not only inspired me to watch the computer through the TV, but now, it has inspired me to go to the next level. High-speed internet. I recently signed up for Comcast high speed internet and have been lovin it! No more jerky playback! Also, now I get to watch LOST in streaming HD.

So, if for some reason, you have not seen LOST yet, here is your chance as all the episodes are posted at ABC.com. Go check it out!

Joost Show to Watch: Star Trek

Wow, looks like CBS has posted all episodes of the original Star Trek on-line. You can view them on the cbs.com page, but it is not full-screen. If you want the full screen goodness, you have to go to Joost. So, go to Joost and get your Trek on! Here is the link.

Joost Show to Watch: Twilight Zone.

It seems that everyday Joost adds more and more content to their library. The latest show I noticed on there is the classic Twilight Zone episodes. They don't have them all, but there are quite a few. We just watched our own mini-marathon the other night with the classic "One Drink, One Bar of Gold".

I had thought I had seen them all, but it seems that there are still a few I did not recognize. One of the ones I really liked that I had not seen before was. "The Obsolete Man". I mean you can't really go wrong with Burgess Meredeth.

Anyway, check out the Twilight Zone on Joost for some good old fashioned entertainment.

Joost Show to Watch: Worlds Apart - Birmingham Meets Ghana

So, you are looking for a good show to watch on Joost, since they have like a ton of shows, and it is a bit overwhelming.

One reality show that I have found that I like is the National Geographic show, Worlds Apart. I especially enjoyed the episode Worlds Apart: Birmingham Meets Ghana. The description from the site is "An Alabama family is transplanted from a comfortable southern home to a mud and stick compound." Don't let that fool you, this show is great! It is produced by National Geographic, and while some may morn their descent into the hell that is reality TV, the very fact that it is produced by National Geographic, makes it watchable. This episode is the first one I stumbled on, and was very entertaining. When I watch shows, I like to be entertained. I think you will too, so go and check out Worlds Apart: Birmingham Meets Ghana. What do you have to loose? I mean it is the internet, if you don't like it you just click away.
