Hulu and Crackle are safe.

We ditched Hulu when they started to show an ad for "Plan B" when my daughter and I were watching an episode of Mary Tyler Moore. The ads for their crappy original content are awful enough, and shown during "Dick van Dyke" and "Dragnet", clicking that we don't like the ads made them put it in our face MORE. "Plan B" was WAY over the line. Adios, Hulu.

You can rent Shoes of the Fisherman for $2.99 from Amazon if you don't want to pay for a whole year.

Frankly, I found the payoff at the end of the 3 1/2 hour movie to be a bit of a let down. I much prefer "The Scarlet and the Black" for Vatican movies, though there's no conclave in that one.

I hate those kinds of ads too.

I also don’t like many movies and TV shows any more. Nothing but a bunch of crap out there.

I do watch Korean TV shows at viki.com though, within days of airing in Korea they are often subtitled.

Amazon has lost this customer. After seeing their new ad on tv - never again. The ad is for their Kindle. There’s a man and woman reading and the man asks the woman if he could buy her a drink. She declines saying her husband is bringing her one and the man says his “husband” is bringing him one, too. They turn and wave at their “husbands” and the “husbands” wave back.

Either my ad blocker or “Host Manager” blocks the HULU ads. While the ad is ‘running’ I just see a black screen. It’s a little weird.

Old TV shows: http://free-classic-tv-shows.com/. Very well organized.
