If you thought your only TV viewing choices were reruns, reality TV, and campaign coverage, think again. Hulu.com has popular excerpts and full-length shows available to watch online.
There are shows that are currently on TV: House, Chuck, Monk, The Office, Heroes, and several others. There are also some great shows from years ago: St. Elsewhere, Picket Fences, The Bob Newhart Show, WKRP in Cincinnati, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and many more.
I've been watching WKRP this morning and have been amazed at how it's still funny and relevant after almost 30 years. I wonder if I'll feel that way about any of the shows on now in even 10 years.
If I want to relive the '80s (although, really, who would?) I can watch The A-Team or Fame. And there's plenty of shows from the '70s from The Mary Tyler Moore Show to Kojack (the original one, but they have the one from 2004 too.)
The excerpts from Saturday Night Live are sortable by season so you can watch scenes from back when it was funny (your pick as to when that was...for me it was only the first few seasons - pre-1980.)
The shows do have commercials but they are very limited: not as frequent, as many or as long as on TV.
