Watch Something on Hulu

Today's fun activity is something we're cramming in at the last minute, as we've had a busy day! We currently do not own a television set and, during periods when we have owned one, we would rarely watch any television programs (and especially not the news!). Mainly, we have historically used televisions only for watching rented videos and DVDs.

Once we finish restoring our new home, we'll likely purchase a television set again -- but, as before, only for watching DVDs. One thing we've learned since giving our last television away is that there is a world of entertainment available online. Most people know about YouTube, of course. But, many forget about sites like Hulu.com, where thousands of movies and television shows can be watched for free.

While Hulu *is* advertising-supported, the ads are usually much more brief than they would be on television, which translates into less time wasted. So, we've returned to following a few select programs. For example, we like Outsourced, The Office, and Parks & Recreation (recommended by our friends Melissa & Dave Sokulski). We also used to love a program called Dead Like Me (recommended by our friends Danny & Kathy Living), but we watched them all. We've also been known to watch Glee.

Tonight, we're just going to check out some random show for an hour -- if only to relax and unwind from a long day. We'll be watching "Three Moons Over Milford," which looks to be "okay" (perhaps not great, but a mindless, quirky drama that probably fits our needs this evening).



What else fun can we do for an hour? Leave a suggestion as a comment! We would like to pick things on a regular basis. If a suggestion if inspiring to you and you complete one of the activities, be sure to send us a pic!
