Now I don't have to wait for it to be on TBS every night! Or have to get up and change DVDs! It's like the Summer of Gamecock!

“Now I don’t have to wait for it to be on TBS every night! Or have to get up and change DVDs! It’s like the Summer of Gamecock!”

“A show about nothing” where the characters are “thirty-something singles with vague identities, no roots, and conscious indifference to morals ...

Al Bundy would be mortified.

I can not watch that unfunny show on Hulu just like I did when it was on network TV.

Wonder if they’re going to interrupt the shows with annoying commercials every five minutes, promoting of all things Hulu itself. Signed up for a one week trial for their service and the interruptions prompted me to cancel it before the time was up. Could not skip the commercials after five seconds as you can with Youtube, and the commercial free aspect of Netflix is one of its best features.

Probably one of the most unwatchable shows ever. What was so funny about it?

The few commercials are the price you pay for next day airing of current season shows. Hulu has to pay the networks far more for that privilege than Netflix has to pay for shows that are previous-season-already-on-DVD.

Me, I am addicted to the Blacklist and a few others, so its worth it to me personally to view current content for the price of a few commercials, but I can also understand those that are more patient than I :)

It was very well written and, to me, one of the funniest comedies of the era. If you want to talk unfunny, I think Big Bang Theory is unwatchably idiotic, juvenile and woeful in the acting.

Agree. I think I might have watched 3 episodes to completion. I just never saw the appeal of the show. What I did see of it was not funny.
