Hulu.com is a new service to legally watch television episodes and movies online. Supported by many entertainment companies, it is rapidly becoming the “iTunes” of television shows. Excited by the Wired article I read about Hulu, I went there the next day to see if there were any captioned offerings.
Disappointed, I browsed around but only found a couple things (American Dad, 30 Rock, etc). There was no easy way to “discover” what shows and episodes were captioned other than looking for the small (cc) badge on the descriptions of the shows. So I fired up Gmail and emailed ‘em; the pen being mightier than the sword and all that. Their response was great — but instead of pointing me to a page or a search facility on their site, they attached a humongous tab-delimited text file of all captioned items on the site.
So, to save you time, I’ve linked to the best from that list below:
- 30 Days (Season 2, Season 3)
- American Dad! (Season 1)
- Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? (Season 2)
- It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (Season 1, Season 2, Season 3, Season 4)
- Kitchen Nightmares (Season 1, Season 2)
- Bones (Season 1)
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Season 1)
- Arrested Development (Season 1, Season 2, Season 3)
