What is the best television show on Hulu?

If you are not familiar with the website Hulu ( http//www.hulu.com ) it is a site on the Internet that features full episodes of current and past televison shows. I've only scratched the surface of it, but I've noticed it has episodes of Bones and The Daily Show. However, it also has episodes of some of my all time favorite shows that are long gone. So, pick your FAVORITE show. Say what it is and why you picked and then LINK the pilot or favorite episode in your post.

You didn't know you can link to hulu? You can!! The same way you do YouTube. Just click "Video" and paste the URL of the show. For example, I am going to choose Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It can be found at:
http://www.hulu.com/watch/48/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-welcome-to-the-hellmouth

P.S. Bonus points for linking the title of the show to the Mahalo page. You do this by surrounding the show (capitalized correctly) with double brackets

Right now my favorite show on Hulu is 24. A new episode is available every week promptly the day after it airs on television. For a while they had episodes from season 6 and now they have 5 episodes of season one on a rolling basis.
Here's the synopsis: "Kiefer Sutherland stars as Jack Bauer in this unique television series in which the entire season takes place in one day, with each of the 24 episodes covering one hour and told in real time."

Asker's Rating:
• While it was a toss up between this answer and dumblonde's I chose this one because I felt it edged a bit towards being more original. Plus, I Love 24 too.

I love Hulu!  My favorite show to watch on Hulu (so far) is definitely ''Fringe'' - not quite as good as ''The X Files'' used to be, but fun nonetheless.

Linking to the episode "Safe" - probably one of my favorites so far.  Answers a few questions, but left me with MORE questions (X Files, anyone?)

Synopsis:

"A series of bank robberies are investigated by Olivia, Peter and Dr.
Bishop, whose discovery of a personal link to the tech-savvy thieves'
ambition ultimately puts one of the trio in grave danger."

Arrested Development! One of the smartest, funniest shows on TV with a movie possibly coming out soon.
http://www.hulu.com/arrested-development
Clip is below synopsis.

Synopsis from TV.com:
The Emmy Award-winning comedy series ARRESTED
DEVELOPMENT revolves around MICHAEL BLUTH (Jason Bateman), the “normal”
one in a family of crazies, who is forced to stay in Orange County and
run the family real estate business after his father, GEORGE BLUTH SR.
(Jeffrey Tambor), is sent to prison for shifty accounting practices.
While George Sr. spent the last year in the slammer discovering his
newfound Judaism and recording inspirational tapes, Michael spent it
picking up the pieces and trying to teach his offbeat family how to
live without an endless expense account. All the while, Michael has
also been trying to do right by his 14-year-old son, GEORGE MICHAEL
(Michael Cera), an earnest kid who works diligently at the family’s
frozen banana stand.

The Bluths are led by manipulative matriarch LUCILLE BLUTH (Jessica
Walter), a socialite who is as icy as her martinis. Then there’s the
oldest son, GOB (Will Arnett), a womanizer and struggling magician (sorry, “illusionist”) whose biggest trick will be to make a real job appear. The youngest brother is BUSTER (Tony Hale), a neurotic professional grad student and glorified mama’s boy (he spent 11 months in the womb).

The Bluth siblings are rounded out by cause-obsessed sister LINDSAY
(Portia de Rossi), who is married to the hapless TOBIAS (David Cross), a doctor-turned-actor who might get more work if he wasn’t a self-proclaimed “never-nude.” Lindsay and Tobias are the
ultra-permissive parents of MAEBY (Alia Shawkat), a 14-year-old who
loves finding unique ways to rebel against their overindulgence.

I must say The Simpsons on Hulu!  Watch Lisa The Drama Queen, it's terrific!  I'm a fan of Josh Groban, so I really liked this one!

The best show on Hulu is Firefly, by Joss Whedon, creater of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.
Firefly ran for 14 episodes in 2002, but was not continued.  It is the story of a rag-tag group of adventurers who journey around the star systems doing odd jobs and rescuing those in need (although that isn't their original intent).  The Captain of their ship, Serenity, is bound by his own moral code, which makes the character extremely interesting.
The 2005 movie Serenity is a continuation of the series

I would have to say The Daily Show, political humour at its finest... Too bad I can't see a thing on Hulu.

Just saw your post... I started watching Hulu today from Canada, All I needed was a small program called Hotspot Sheild. Google it. Requires no setup, only to turn it on and off.

I grew up in the 60's. When I have the time, I enjoy watching the old TV shows from back then on Hulu. There were a number of Sci-Fi shows on such as Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, Land Of The Giants, and one of my favorites... The Time Tunnel. You could think of it as the low-tech version of Stargate, Sliders or Quantum Leap.

This episode is titled "Kill Two By Two." Time travelers Tony and Doug travel to a Pacific island in WWII inhabited by Japanese soldiers. I liked this episode because of Academy Award winner Mako's performance.
