    Only Clips?

    I'll give it a glance, I'd watch it, but if they're only giving me clips, they don't deserve a full watch, only a passing glance.

    On the other hand if we're talking full episodes then I'd watch it and even sit through the ads.

    Not only clips

    They say there will be full episodes.

    Good - I don't see anything about it being US only.

    Bad - They talk about a player, just what I need, more crappy software.

    "Competition" to YouTube

    Hmm, yeah, i expect this to go the way all the competitors to Google have went.

    Absolutely nowhere.

    Google ?

    I think their main target is ABC. Hopefully they don't give us that "US only" crap.

    Curious

    As I'm resident in the US and never watch network television, I'm curious about what the posters here would watch on Hulu if it were available. Anybody?

    @ John A Blackley

    This is what my ReplayTV records regularly that's on network TV in the US:

    The Simpsons

    House

    Moonlight

    Bionic Woman

    So to answer your question John A Blackley, any of the shows above.

    What's really sad is I pay almost $50 a month for analog cable. And the only non-network shows I watch are The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Of course my kids love having The Disney Channel.
