Hulu
The site Hulu, just out of Beta, offers the concept you've been waiting for. A free, centralized, high quality dumping ground (& viewing area) for current TV shows (old bits and some movies). They have some kinks to work out, but I'm digging it.
As you may have noted, YouTube has become too unspecialised to even confront it. And on Hulu, sound and image quality are great.
The name is not very clever - Sort of, let's put "TiVo" and "YouTube" in a blender and see what we get!
Perfect if you need a quick fix of "Rockford Files" or "Ironside".
Hulu could be pretty awesome in 6 months or so . . . needs more of a selection!
