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.

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 :)

I seldom watch anything on Hulu or Crackle because of the interruptions. More times than not, the video would stall after a commercial. Try to get it restarted and it defaulted to the very start.

I did manage to watch a Crackle movie all the way through a few days ago. It was a Crackle original. It did not stall because it had no commercial breaks.
