If you need me, I’ll be having dirty thoughts about Neil Patrick Harris.
So my beta invite to Hulu finally came through (TOOK YOU ASSHATS LONG ENOUGH, NBC/FOX) and I discovered, upon poking through their limited offerings, that they — guys, brace yourself — have the entire first season of Doogie Howser M.D. online. And I ALSO discovered that the first episode is MUCH DIRTIER than I remember — folks: maybe it was kosher to have a half-naked 16 year old boy dancing around his room and putting his clothes on in 1989, but in the cold, ugly light of 2007, it just looks like soft-core kiddie porn, all right? Jesus — and that I STILL LOVE THAT SHOW. OH MY GOD.
Ok, I am totally intrigued! I don’t remember the first episode, but I do remember that Doogie’s best friend- Max or something- was my first intro to the fact that licking one’s lips was considered hot (and yes, I blush to admit I’ve used it).
So what is hulu? And how do I enjoy it’s magic?
