I agree with you that there there's no obvious way to figure out availability. There needs to be some sort of a simple way for people to figure what is available. For example, "X episodes of current show's ongoing season" or "past seasons released X days/months after DVD availability". That's true not only for Hulu but for other digital media.

In which case, the random arrangement of episodes makes less sense. Why not offer the first X episodes of each season? Netflix is still my answer for most content.

Wonder what Netflix will make of this? Of course, they can point to their higher resolutions (for now) and commercial-free playback. I am pleasantly surprised with the movie content.

And there are actually some movies I might want to watch. But when they said they'd signed Warner Brothers TV as a content, I kind of figured they'd have something more than Welcome Back, Kotter.
