Is Hulu any good. How does it compare to Netflix. I heard HULU have ads

Are the movies on HULU any good, do they have ads during movies?

Netflix stopped streaming Spongebob and other Nickelodeon shows. My daughter LOVES Spongebob. Nice to give her the phone while on the HWY or driving around town to let her watch Spongebob.

Now HULU carries Spongebob. Trying to decide if I want to stop Netflix and go to HULU.

Hulu is good if you missed an episode of a given show. Assuming the show is covered in Hulu that is

Hulu is free on your laptop. If you want it streamed to your tv tho I think it's the same price as netflix

Hulu does have the criterion collection which is quite nice.

I have both Hulu plus and Netflix...which I think is only 16 bucks a month for both.

The only gripe I have about Hulu plus is some things are "web only" which means I can't watch it on my tablet.

And yeah, Hulu has ads...but a lot less ads than if you watched it on TV. 30 seconds vs 2 minutes.

That's nice, had no idea. Looked at their site they have a 1wk free trial. I'm going sign up for it later.

The issue that I have with Hulu (at least the last time I used it) was that they only kept like 5 episodes of the current up and running shows. You couldn't go back and watch the first seasons of something if you had previously missed it. I still pay for Hulu+ but with it never getting used and my ability to stream to my tv via project free tv and 1 channel, there is literally no point in continuing to pay for Hulu+

you still have to pay for Hulu plus... $8 per month. i have both Hulu and Netflix. Hulu is good for watching shows that are currently airing on networks. the movie selection is poor, except for the criterion collection (if Artsy movies are your thing)

totally different products that use the same delivery method. I use both. If I was picking just one though i'd have netflix. Hulu is good to keep me up to date on my network tv since I don't have cable but Netflix has a lot more content.

hulu plus is useless on your laptop. the "plus" in Hulu plus is solely for streaming to other devices. It doesn't remove any ads or anything

I have my computer connected to my TV via HDMI, and watch HULU on my TV that way.

I do pay for Netflix though.

The answer to your question is this:

Find a person who uses hulu. Get their login info. Give them your netflix login info. Fair trade. I use my info for netflix, my bro's for Hulu plus, and my neighbor's for hbo go.

Is there a lot on Crackle? I got rid of my Netflix recently. I had a free month for Hulu when I bought my Roku, but there wasn't much on there I was interested in. I don't watch a lot of tv.

I have Amazon Prime, there's some free shite on there.

not much on crackle but if you just check it occasionally, one of the featured movies will be a good, recent movie. For example, I watched hunger games on there before it came to netflix
