Hulu Gains 3,000 New TV Episodes Through 20th Century Fox Deal

How can they compete with Netflix ?

They seem to have more streaming content than Netflix (I have both Netflix and Hulu) - and, unlike Netflix, they keep adding third-party content rather than removing it.

Actually, Fox has been yanking essentially all of their series off Netflix as their existing agreements expire over an ongoing spat about Netflix poaching staff from Fox. Most of the seasons of Futurama and Bob's Burgers have already gone away as deals expired, along with many other older Fox staples (Firefly among them).

Futurama, as I just recently discovered while browsing Netflix at work, still has the comedy central run on it. I'm assuming the Comedy Central run is still on because it's owned by Viacom and those can stay on, while the original run from FOX got taken off. I'm surprised the Futurama movies were taken off though as those were done when Comedy Central brought the show back. I'm assuming that the Comedy Central run will be Netflix only, while the FOX run will be HULU only?

The new UI is why I left Hulu..bring the old one back please.

If the full King of the Hill series is on this, then they will have secured a new subscriber. King of the Hill doesn't stream anywhere that I know of now.

I agree. Netflix or what I now call Notflix is on thin ice with me. They so far this year removed about 80% content I enjoyed this year alone for horrible filthy original content. Really a series promoting teen suicide or a adult movie made to look like a kids movie are just two examples.

Except for a few shows left and Futurama was one of them they are becoming less worth it everyday. I now have Prime Video, Hulu, Funimation and Boomerang serving me more content with more micro subs I will be adding soon in the future.

Those all appear to be shows already on Netflix last I looked-- nice to see them becoming more competitive.

I could have sworn that with the exception of HIMYM, most were all already on Hulu, too. Pretty sure I watched Raising Hope via Hulu.

Of course, I can't confirm this now because it's IMPOSSIBLE to find anything on Hulu these days thanks to the insane UI it's adopted recently.

Yet no Simpsons. That’s still the white whale of streaming.

Yeah that list doesn't look quite right. I assume you're on the ATV 4. Another reason to stick with my 3, which Hulu hasn't bothered to "improve". But I do any major searching using hulu.com, justwatch.com, or canistream.it.
