I'm watching the first season of Murder One, which I loved when it first aired. Highly recommended for those who missed it (meaning, most of America) the first time around. And yes, even though I do have all the DVDs, Arrested Development on demand is a lovely thought.<BR/><BR/>Productivity? Eh, highly overrated.<BR/><BR/>I'm not getting any banner ads.

There's a limit to how much advertising I'm willing to put up with, and this is way, way beyond that limit.

I can access the site but the videos aren't available.<BR/><BR/>Of course I can't access Hulu either and this irritates me to no end. I hate that North American rights aren't negotiated at one time, especially when NBC and FOX are accessible to those with antennas without simulcast. <BR/><BR/>Or at least have the technology available until the equivalent feature shows up on the Canadian networks. grrr. copyright law is dumb. <BR/><BR/>I'm still peeved that the Comedy Network database of old Daily Shows and Colbert Reports isn't accessible to Canadians and that the crappy Comedy Network doesn't have them either.Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11317568565085893849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-72013068648685631022008-03-12T12:51:00.000-04:002008-03-12T12:51:00.000-04:00Hulu has a "pop out" option, opening a new window for the episode playing. This gets rid of the banner ad, which is annoying, and is also pretty convenient for when you say, want to read about TV on the Internet while watching TV on the Internet - my favorite non-activity of all time.Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03963846831109401586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-72462950741418206592008-03-12T12:41:00.000-04:002008-03-12T12:41:00.000-04:00Thank you, Alan.

Whenever I try to play a clip, all I get is a black screen that says "Unfortunately, this video is not currently available in your country or region. We apologize for the inconvenience."
