TV.com Beats Hulu To The Punch With International Access

News today from paidContent.org, TV.com has opened up some of the site’s video clips to international viewers, beating Hulu to the punch. Well not really.

Before non US viewers get their hopes up, what is available are clips of Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place, Star Trek, MacGyver, and Love Boat, 60 Minutes and 48 Hours- all of which are of no interest to this International viewer.

I'll believe it when I see it. That's what we've been hearing from Hulu for months.

Don't count on international viewers to drop by for rerun snippets of dated shows. We'll be sticking to video sharing sites, where we can watch full episodes of the latest US TV series.
