Not as impressive as Hulu’s multi-network offerings, but a good attempt at free TV streaming I'd say. I think they wasted their time with a lot of frivolous features and could have had this out sooner. Not to say that it would have competed with Hulu, but warner brothers has some good movies they could have been streaming along with these shows to beef up traffic and breathe on hulu. polling on these issues at TinyCrunch.com
