This week I missed 90210 because DirecTv and Tribune are in a battle and right DirecTV isn’t broadcasting the channel 90210 is on. I found myself wondering how far behind I’d be by the time the channel started airing again when I thought of Hulu and realized I might be able to watch the show sooner than later.

Hulu also offers a wide array of acclaimed movies and documentaries, including hundreds of titles from Miramax and the renowned Criterion Collection.
MY THOUGHTS
I received a 3-month subscription to Hulu Plus. Hulu (and Hulu Plus) are easy to set up. After setting up a Hulu account you can watch tons of movies and network television shows right on your computer. If you go with Hulu Plus you can watch those same movies and television shows on many TVs and Blu-ray players, as well as other popular devices including the Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, Roku, iPod Touch, iPad, iPhone, Android phone, Kindle Fire, Nook and Nintendo 3DS. Advertisements aren’t bad, they’re a lot like a typical commercial during a television show. The nice thing about Hulu and Hulu Plus is that not only are classic and current movies available, there are also older and current television shows. (90210 is on there.) You can watch one episode or in many cases an entire season.
Hulu gift subscriptions are currently available in several formats:
- 1 month ($7.99)
- 3 months ($23.97)
- 6 months ($47.94)
- 12 months ($95.88)
This would make a great gift for the television or movie lover in your life, as well as a great stocking stuffer during the holidays. It’d also be terrific for the frequent flyer, provided their travel is within the US since Hulu only works inside the US.
