Hulu

Determined not to let what happened to the music industry happen to Hollywood, NBC and Fox teamed up to finance a site that gives Webizens what they want: free TV and movies, streamed in high quality, on demand. (Shrewdly, the networks have kept their logos, and their legacy issues, off the site.) Think of it as a TiVo subscription without the set-top box or monthly bill. If it aired recently on NBC, ABC or Fox, you'll probably find it archived on Hulu. For CBS, you'll have to switch over to TV.com, a lame Hulu clone.
