helping aliens turn your brain to mush

I’m not an alien, nor do I work for hulu, but that doesn’t mean I can’t sing it’s praises here.  Hulu is a good resource that you may want to share with our customers questions about TV shows and movies.  Now that it’s getting more name recognition thanks to Denis Leary and Alec Baldwin’s “because we’re aliens and that’s how we roll” schtick they’ll likely have heard it and know what you’re talking about.

Note to self,  “whoohoo, I used schtick in a sentence!”

Why share hulu with customers?  Library customers are constantly clamoring for television shows and movies on DVD.  Naturally, the library will never be able to accomodate every customer’s wish, though we try.   So the next time a customer asks for a film or DVD through a SINC, be sure to suggest hulu as a stopgap resource while they’re waiting for their suggestion to be reviewed.

Here’s a taste of what is available on hulu

Movies (19 pages of choices)

• Anastasia — animated
• Cliffhanger
• His Girl Friday

Television (42 pages of choices)

• 24
• Arrested Development
• House

Lots of older television shows are available–these are very popular with our customers.

• ALF
• Flipper
• Hill Street Blues

So help the aliens at hulu turn our friends and customers brains to cottage cheese–remember if we help them, they’ll take us last.
