Comcast don't let you fast forward your own damn recordings?! WTF? Or are you talking about On Demand? Because AT&T does something similar. I got so fed up with it, I just watched on the station's website.

Re: Hulu Plus -- News and Notable New additions
I just have regular hulu. I don't have hulu plus.
Last year, I was able to watch the entire first season of Behind the Mask on my regular hulu. This year, I can only watch episode 1 of season 2. The rest of season 2 is hulu plus.
Will the rest of season 2 make it to regular hulu?
I was able to watch both season 1 and season 2 of Quick Draw (another hulu original series) on just plain regular hulu.

There's no information on it being made available at the future or not unfortunately.

I just got an email offering 1 Free Month. I'm not sure if it's available for everyone. It requires a credit card or Paypal account, because they'll charge you $7.99/month once the free trial is over. According to the email, the offer expires on 3/23/2015.

This news is from February, but the original CSI will be available on Hulu Plus starting next month.
14 seasons will be available. Season 15 just finished airing and won't be available yet.

Re: Hulu Plus -- News and Notable New additions
Royal Tea should take advantage of the free month offer if he can. Then he can watch "Behind The Mask" - Season Two - as all 10 episodes of this season are up to watch. (Hulu put the whole season up on Hulu Plus when it premiered in late February.)
Even though it helps Royal Tea - I sorta wish they didn't do that or only put up say two episodes a week. I was tempted to watch the whole season in one day. I've been watching two episodes a week - on Thursdays as thats the day the show premiered this season - Thursday, February 26. I have four episodes left to watch so I'll be done next week.

Re: Hulu Plus -- News and Notable New additions
Hulu has added the first season - all 10 episodes - of "The Last Ship" which airs on TNT - the second season starts June 21.
Figures I'm the last to know about those 12-Month passes where you only pay $32 or so.

Re: Hulu Plus -- News and Notable New additions
That said, I would probably give it a shot from a U.S. seller with good feedback who has sold a larger quantity of the physical gift cards. There is one right now with 100% feedback who has them at $49.95 (up from $39.95 last month).

Re: Hulu Plus -- News and Notable New additions
Is hulu getting more cartoon network cartoons? I could have sworn last week the only one they had was Flapjack, but the other day I noticed they also have Gumball and Ben10. Would love to get the full roster of CN cartoons on hulu!

Re: Hulu Plus -- News and Notable New additions
I did a marathon - with a few breaks here and there - of the first season a couple of days ago - like it - will be there for the second season come June 21.

Was hoping for Amazon. I refuse to pay a fee for streaming with commercials.

In addition to the Seinfeld deal. Hulu signed a new deal with AMC Networks and their content.
Hulu will become the exclusive streaming home of the Walking Dead spinoff "Fear the Walking Dead"

I might bump up and pay more for that, though frankly, given what their competitors charge, it's a little much. I'm sure they'll send me an e-mail if they start offering it.

Re: Hulu Plus -- News and Notable New additions
My other gripe with Hulu is the incomplete seasons. I was thinking about watching Forever (ABC), but they only have 5 episodes.

Re: Hulu Plus -- News and Notable New additions
Where do you hear that? Is it just internet rumors or is there a legitimate source? I hope it's true, because I'd definitely be willing to pay more for an ad-free service.

Hulu May Let You Pay More To Go Ad-Free
By Chris Morran September 26, 2013
huluplusOne of the biggest knocks against Hulu Plus is that, in spite of the $7.99 monthly subscription, users are still subjected to ads on most of the premium content. Meanwhile, Netflix and Amazon Prime offer competing streaming services for about the same amount of money but without the annoying ad interruptions. The solution? Charge more for an ad-free tier!
At least that’s what Hulu’s VP of Content and Acting CEO Andy Forssell said at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia conference.
“Allowing people to pay more and not have advertising at all, I think that’s the right path long term,” Forsell explained, according to Variety. “I’m a big believer in choice… I believe over time we should introduce an ad-free service.”
When Hulu Plus originally launched, it charged $9.99 a month, but soon dropped that price to $7.99 to compete with Netflix. Hulu Plus has ads on almost all of its content, though paying subscribers see fewer ads than those who just watch Hulu for free.
He also expects that more of the networks that contribute content to Hulu — NBC and ABC — to follow the lead of Fox, makes new episodes available on Hulu Plus almost immediately after airing, but delays making content available online for everyone until a week later.
“I have no inside information. But I expect all the broadcast networks to institute a delay as they reach retrans deals (with pay TV operators),” said Forsell. “The economics make that inevitable, but I couldn’t guess at the timing.”

Re: Hulu Plus -- News and Notable New additions
Yeah, that's the last time I heard anyone mention an ad-free Hulu. And that CEO left Hulu a few months later. So, it's probably not happening anytime soon.
I don't get it. Ads are obviously the #1 complaint about Hulu. I don't know why they're so stubborn about offering customers what they want.
