QUICK! SOMETHING TO WATCH ON HULU!

edited July 2009 in Help / Advice Forum
Okay, I don't have a TV in my bedroom, just my computer... I like to fall asleep watching TV (well, fall asleep after watching TV). Hulu is my hero, but I've run out of stuff that I know I want to watch... need a suggestion or five (I burn through a season of a show in a week, easy).

I've watched:

Eureka: All of it... loved it.
Fringe: Same.
John Doe: Four episodes... sucks... pretentious and sophomoric (me being nice)
Heroes: Enjoyed it, Season 3, so not the best
Warehouse 13: Quite enjoy it, but yeah, only 2 episodes.

Uhmm... and probably some other stuff not coming to mind.

I need something new to watch, but searching through what's available is tedious and too much is final season or five episodes only... I'd prefer to see something from the beginning if I could.

Help! =)

(Doesn't have to be Sci-Fi)

Thanks.

Allegedly a voice of reason.

    Buffy, Angel, Arrested Development, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Kitchen Confidential, Dresden Files are all good. All of them but It's Always Sunny have at least the first season up on Hulu.

    Dr. Who is one of those "can only watch in the middle of Season X" ones last time I looked, unfortunately... I really want to start watching that.

    No it's still there I just can't afford the billion channel cable package it's on in my area. They used to, however, have Top Gear On Demand so I could watch the episodes a year and a half later, but could still see them.

    I swore I saw a season on there when I searched, must not.

    Edit: Dr. Who was netflix.

    I thought it was pretty cool that show was on Hulu... all 50-some episodes. I remember watching that show when I was in school every morning... right after Conan the Barbarian. Also... the new Full Metal Alchemist (subbed) is on there too.

    Kings is pretty bad. Like, really bad. But Ian McShane is incredibly good, and just about makes the whole mess worth it.

    Nah, they're missing stuff like Pilot and Christmas and I think Stocks. I know cause The Onion AV Club is doing reviews and I can't go back and watch them all.

    Dead Like Me is pretty good. I've been doing something similar to yourself (a bit of TV and such before bed) and enjoyed it just fine. Its a pretty smart show. Too bad it was canceled at the end of season 2. =/

    Also been watching what there is of The Riches. Its meehhh not bad. If they could somehow get rid of the mother I think I would like it alot more. Also the number of just plain unbelievable things in that show is also kind of ridiculous....

    I watched the first episode (the movie-length one) and kinda found it lacking. It wasn't bad, per-se, but it seemed like maybe it was aimed at a younger audience or something. I am a fan of Bruce Spence, however. =)
