For a couple of years, browsing TV shows on Hulu, the free one, I could click on an image and get a description of the show. Further down the page was \*a listing of episodes of the show in **text**. \* Now I cannot find any listings in text. Did Hulu change their browsing formats or did I inadvertently turn off the listings in text? Is there still some way to queue all episodes of a TV show? ---

They definitely redesigned their site, and the new one is just awful. Along with the problems **janeslogin** mentioned, I like to browse the available programs alphabetically, and if there’s still a way to get to that index from the homepage or any other page on the site, I can’t for the life of me figure it out. I just have to enter [hulu.com/tv/all](http://hulu.com/tv/all) in the browser bar, and I only figured that out after reading the hundreds of angry comments on the Hulu blog. Badly done, Hulu. ---

It sucks. If I click on “next video” when I’m watching something, it picks random out now. Before it’d be like “Daily Show Monday-\>Next video = Daily Show Tuesday”. Now it’s whatever they feel like. I turned off “play next video automatically”, but it shouldn’t have mattered because all I did was keep it from automatically playing the wrong episode instead of manually. This might be Hulu or USA and I almost started a pit thread, but I am so ticked off at both of them right now. USA’s shows usually go something like “The first few of a season on Hulu the next day, then the rest show up one month later.” USA obviously and rightfully would prefer you watch it on their network with their commercials. I can live with that. Every time a new season starts, I try to keep up on USA, but I always fall behind and keep up on Hulu weeks later when they show up. Today I clicked on the new episode of Covert Affairs. I didn’t read the description or look at the air date. Why should I? I know the USA policy. But alas, instead of episode 6 or something, it was the season finale, and the “previously on” contained huge boatloads of spoilers. I don’t know if USA allowed the finale to go up before the rest of the season, sent the wrong one to Hulu, or someone at Hulu just let the wrong one go live, but now the season is ruined for me. Granted, it’s not Game of Thrones or some other completely compelling, gripping show, but it still sucks my brainless popcorn tv got ruined. ☹ ---

There are some ghits for ~Hulu discussion OR forum~ but I havn’t yet found much discussions.
