Awesome! Can’t wait to watch Disney movies online…does this mean old Disney feature films like the princess movies or the old Disney movies of the month like Zenon, Motocrossed, Suzy Q?
Yay!
Wohoo! Now I don’t have to go to abc.com anymore. Hopefully CBS will give in eventually too. Hulu is the best!
Fantastic – I like the Hulu, hate the ABC player.
Nice ! Now can you please, PLEASE (!!) make it available in Canada ?!!
aw, SWEET, Less Than Perfect. i used to love that show.
almost everything else i already watch on abc.com anyway. i might check out some of the Disney movies though.
Awesome! I’ve been waiting for this ever since I started watching NBC & FOX shows on HULU! Now to get CW & CBS on board, & we’ll never have to go anywhere else to watch tv online!
Sweet!!!! Suck it ABC.COM PLAYER!
Finally! The player at ABC drives me nuts because you have to click continue after each commercial and that means I can’t sit on the couch. I’ll be free! Thank you, Disney, for waking up to the reality of current television viewing habits.
P.S: Will this be effective immediately?
Hulu just became 8,000 times more awesome now.
Give it time, shortly you will be paying to be able to watch. Whether it will be a monthly charge, day to day, or per show/movie.
Really Bad news…. As soon as you are outside the USA, Hulu doesn’t care about Canada. I can’t see anything from Hulu just because I am Canadian. It’s a bad company.
This brings me great joy. The ABC player is awful.
This is good news for those who miss a favorite program and now can get a chance to watch it on Hulu,although Im not a big fan of watching shows on a computer screen.
