Hulu has pulled "19 Kids and Counting" from its lineup, following reports of sexual misconduct allegations against one of the stars, Josh Duggar, stemming from when he was a teenager.

Although the streaming-video service didn't confirm removal of the TLC series, episodes weren't found Thursday on the Hulu site, where they had been available as recently as Wednesday.

Frankly, Hulu’s political proclivities aside, I dropped their butts very soon in the free trial they offered.

Their total selection of offerings might well have been extensive but I quickly found their menu system, interaction and navigations and other user features were wholly pitiful....

Just couldn’t get anywhere with it all... Miserable in my opinion.

I am currently using Hulu's free trial. Decided last night to drop it afterward.

On a side note, I would be willing to rescue Jana Duggar from the horrors of that home. She is welcome to contact me anytime.

They’re talking about a spinoff involving the adult married kids other than Josh.

I dropped Netflix when they were so uppity about raising their rates.

Personally I wonder if this will harm or help the Duggars. People may watch past episodes just to see if they can find evidence/clues/hints of incest inside the family thus causing Hulu’s rentals to go up. If they were not a freak show before, they really are now.

The spinoff I saw involved a family that was not the Duggars.

Agreed, Hulu has a bad selection, hard to navigate. Not worth the $.

I’ve had Hulu and I have Neflix. To me there is no comparison...If you want uppity and raised prices try DIRECTV...they’ll charge you if you fart in front of the TV.

I heard the spinoff will be a prison reality show, 19 Years and Counting.

I get it in the TV room through my nephew’s Wii console. It’s a pain in the backside to navigate using the Wii remote and it’s in SD but that’s what I have to do to watch it on my large screen. Way not worth the trouble. I get it in the bedroom using my Tivo Premiere box. 100% better format and interface, but still lacking.

Oh. Interesting. So I'm assuming none of it will involve any of the Clintons then.

Josh Duggar did what?

Well, I've never sinned before, so I'll cast the first stone.

Anyone else? < sarcasmtagneeded?>

LOLOL!!! No I don’t have it! Netflix was enough. If I want to see it bad enough I just buy the DVD.

Truthfully...if Netflix was more current in their updates, I’d drop DIRECTV and keep my air-antenna and watch Netflix all the time.

Have any of these networks refused to show a Roman Polanski film?

Hypocrites!

the biggest problem with services like Hulu Netflix and amazon pime is that they try to make it look as if they are offering more then they are offering

That is certainly true and it does take time to realize that. Hulu to me makes that task much more difficult in their menu maneuvering and options to get back to where you were. By far.

Almost makes me miss my local BLockbuster store.
