FOX's FAMILY GUY"

1. On Hulu.com, the episode is presented in extreme high quality. Also, on the Hulu website, there are a lot more options such as tv shows and movies. They are easier to find and they have more episodes. The episodes that are presented on the site are full length, and you can view it in a theatre view. The actual screen for the shows are large, and it is easy to switch it to full screen. The advertisements on Hulu.com are only 15 seconds long and it is possible to skip through them, as long as you are not already in the actual commercial. Hulu.com also provides a space for users to leave comments

CW's "AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL"
FULL EPISODE CLIPS: Part II,PartIII,PartIV,Part V

2. One of the shows that we found was America's Next Top Model, it offers the full episodes but in five different parts about 8 to 10 minutes each. YouTube.com offers a high quality viewing options on certain clips and can maximize the viewing of the clips. The clips of the show were posted by a fan from Belgium who actually has episodes of present seasons as well as past seasons. You can also leave comments and reply to other users about a clip.

3. In comparison to YouTube.com, Hulu.com has a better video and sound quality and takes seconds to upload. Hulu.com has about two to three 15 second advertisements promoting different products such as: Swiffer and Olay commercials. Hulu.com has a cleaner and better organized format, where as YouTube.com looks less professional. YouTube becoming more like Hulu can be a good thing if it does offer full length tv shows and movies, but what makes YouTube unique is that users can upload their own fan made videos. It's just more of a creative outlet than Hulu.
