If you’re wondering if there will be anything worth watching onHuluonce you score aninvite, we’ve gathered together 20+ things that should be worth your time. And yeah, some of this stuff is actually (gasp!) good!
Arrested Development- The entire first season is here. I normally keep my personal opinion out of the toolboxes, but, this is quite possibly one of the funniest shows to ever air on television. Follow the Bluth family as they prove there is no love like that of a family… who is constantly out for no one but themselves.
Battlestar Galactica (classic)- Check out where Battlestar Galactica started, and see how it turned in to the award-winning show it is today. Count how many times the girl with the funky pigtails says “Vipers, launch when ready.” You can catch the entire series (all one season of it) on Hulu. (If you’re a fan of the old school Galactica, forget you just read that, and enjoy the bestest show ever. Ed.)
Buffy, The Vampire Slayer- Check out the first season of this cult favorite show that was not only about vampires, but also about the challenges life presents to everyone growing up. Sometimes, the demonic bad person was the easy fight.
Doogie Hoswer, M.D.- Before Neil Patrick Harris went on to be Barney onHow I Met Your Mother, he wasDoogie Howser, M.D.. If you’ve never experienced this teenager-is-a-doctor-series…well, you aren’t missing much, but it’s good for an unintentional laugh.
Hill Street Blues- The first season of this hit police drama by Steven Bochco, who later went on to createNYPD Blue. Sadly, there is no sign of his other “hit” cop series,Cop Rock.
Kitchen Confidential- Based on the book of the same name by world-class chef Anthony Bourdain, the sitcom of his semi-fictionalized life only lasted 4 episodes before Fox canceled it. There were 9 un-aired episodes at the time, and you can find all 13 of them on Hulu.
Night Gallery- Hulu only has five episodes so far of the lsser known of Rod Serling’s second horror-inspired series’. If you’ve only seenThe Twilight Zone, do yourself of the favor of checking his darker, more cerebral, follow-up.
The Mary Tyler Moore Show- A ground breaking show in the 1970’s, and possibly the only TV show to ever have three spin-offs (Lou Grant,Rhoda, andPhyllis).
WKRP in Cincinnati- Hulu has the complete first season of this hit sitcom for you to watch. Some of the music has been changed, but things like Dr. Fever screaming “BOOGER!” are there to make you laugh all over again.
