@Drea, we use Hulu a lot here as well and I was excited for a representative for Fancast to tell me about the new website. Another place to watch Free videos? I couldn’t resist.

Just like the pp we too have gotten rid of cable and don’t have a converter. We have our TV’s hooked up to our old computer and stream everything we want to watch on the TV.
Thanks for the info on fancast. I have visited them but not investigated them completely. I was excited to see they had food network stuff when I visited before, but now I have to go back since they have more kid stuff. That is one thing I would like to find more of!

@Pepper, sometimes I wonder why we have cable ourselves but then realize that unless I go out and purchase the cord necessary to project the computer onto a television monitor that I don’t think I could completely cut myself off. I do have a ritual at night though of taking my mini-laptop to bed with me to watch some missed episodes of my favorite tv shows online. Maybe I’ll follow you lovely ladies’ examples by making the switch completely one of these days.
Like you, I too am on the lookout for streaming kids shows as well. This would be a big help to find good quality kids programming online, on demand. I was lucky to find the Jetsons on Fancast, I’m hoping to introduce the show to my kidlets. I loved the show as a child it would be neat if they followed Moms footsteps.

Hi Heather, thanks for the nice shout out to Fancast. I see some of your readers were especially interested in the kids offerings, so just a note, Fancast also has the Peanuts network. In addition to It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (they don’t make them like that any more, do they?) there’s Charlie Brown’s Allstars; Peanuts Motions Comics; Someday You’ll Find her, Charlie Brown; The Charlie Brown & Snoopy Show (2000-2004); and What a Nightmare, Charlie Brown.

I remember when Great Pumpkin was a special TV event – CBS would air it around this time of year and EVERYONE would watch it, so if you have a little one, it might be fun to introduce them to this classic.
Cheers,
Jim (for Fancast)

@FancastFan, you are very welcome. I am really excited about the new site and love that I can find new things to watch online. Peanut fans will love that Fancast offers episodes online, thank you for the link. I hope to make it a tradition with my family as well.

I’ve had several ppl approach me and tell me in the last few days that Hulu is rumored to start charging people for access to their website? Has anyone else heard this? It would be very sad if they did try and charge people in the new year after being free for so long. In my opinion if Hulu does start charging then videos should be commercial free.
What are your thoughts on the rumor?

my Beauty Bag

• L’oreal Lipcolour, Gloss, & HIP Eyes

  ShareFor the past several weeks, in my beauty bag, I’ve been testing out some products that L’oreal sent me. Below I will highlight a few of the things that I liked about each product as well as show some ways in which I like to use them personally.

• Fashioned! The Bomb Mom declares my “cool status” with Rhinestoned Tshirts

  Share
  Today I am starting a new topic here at thedomesticdiva.org called “Fashioned” which will highlight all of the fashion finds I come across whether it be for a review or just when I’m out shopping on my own. Since many of you have already requested for me to show more of my “style”, I thought this post would be the perfect introduction to launch into “Fashioned!” our new fashion based online series.
  So today on “Fashioned!” we are highlighting a company that I think is absolutely awesome. …

• Movie Night: Julie & Julia, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian

  ShareIt’s movie time! My favorite time of the week. Sitting back, relaxing, and watching a really good movie…ah, it’s simply heaven to me.

  The first movie we are looking at today is Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (Single-Disc Edition). I received an advanced copy of this DVD, after checking it out I really want to see the first Night at the Museum now. I never got the chance to watch the first one but after watching Battle of the Smithsonian, I think the first …
