Youtube decided to get in the TV show ring with Hulu.com recently. They will be showing full episodes of shows in a different section on the site, and possibly full length movies.
Hulu.com has had some success with this idea by showing shows that they have exclusive right s for from NBC like The Office, 30 Rock, and Heroes. USers can watch 24 hours a day with in a day of the original being aired and most times up to the last 5 episodes. Great for people that don't have a DVR still.
Youtube will probably use the same system although they have not made deals yet to show many newer shows. It is all old sitcoms at the mometn. Hulu shows advertisements during the shows such as ads for video games, automotive lifts, and whatever else. Youttube will likely follow suit, or try a different way, but one thing is sure they will advertise. Hulu's aren't terrible as they are basically 30 second breaks instead of t the 2-3 minute ones on TV.
