WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS
I’m a huge fan of The Simpsons, but not usually of the past few seasons. While some episodes are okay, many are pretty forgettable and just plain stale. I don’t watch the current season on Sunday nights, but today I sat down and watched the first three episodes of season 22 on hulu.com. While I did not like the first episode, the other two were very good, and feel like old-school episodes in terms of their quality.
The first episode has a dual storyline, with Lisa going away to a Performing Arts camp while Homer and Bart work to defend Krusty before the ICC (International Criminal Court.) The storyline following Lisa was pretty lame, and was more a way to get to people who enjoy the show “Glee”, since many of the show’s stars appeared in the episode. The Krusty storyline was equally lame, as Bart and Homer had to find a way to prove that Krusty had made a positive impact on the world or he would be imprisoned by the ICC. Neither part of the episode was very good, and it gave me a bad feeling for what I might be in for the rest of the season.

So Ive just begun checking out Hulu this week, and so far Im liking it. If you dont know, its a website where you can watch TV episodes and movies for free. There is no player or anything to download, as you can watch it right off the site. There are commercial breaks, but only 15-30 seconds long, which isnt too bad.
I like it because it is fast, has good quality, and is convenient. I remember having to watch missed episodes of Heroes or Lost on either NBC or ABCs websites, and it was a pain the the butt. You had to install a player onto your computer first, then you had to follow a confusing series of menus to find the option to play the show you want to watch, then you had to guess which was the most current episode (because they werent numbered or anything). Also, the quality sucked, and the videos often skipped, and it took forever to load up.
Hulu is not like that. You just search for what you want, and if its there it comes up. I just watched an episode of the Simpsons that I missed from a few weeks ago and it was great. The episodes are not only labeled with their title, but also the season and episode numbers, so you know where in the season it is. Good stuff all around. I could have used this a few years ago when I was in my first Oneonta apartment, and didnt have television at all.
I highly recommend checking it out. You can find your favorites that you missed, plus some new stuff that you probably would never watch.
