Fancastic!

Comcast has launched a new TV/movie catch-all called Fancast. Comcast made deals with Viacom and Hulu, the NBC-News Corp online video hub, to provide the TV content, plus a deal with IMDB on the movie side.

I tried it out the TV side this morning, searching for and watching an episode of The Office. It worked well and the best part was that I didn't have to leave Fancast to watch the episode, even though it was coming from Hulu. You can also find out about upcoming episodes playing on your cable/satellite systems. Paradise for a DVR lover.

Lastly, I have to mention that you can watch old shows no longer on the air, including favorites like The A-Team and Doogie Howser, M.D. This information would have proved most valuable back in middle school.
