Why is Hulu Cutting Out Enterprise?

[Brandyjane]

I've been watching random episodes of Enterprise here and there on Hulu Prime for several months now. Today I decided to do a marathon re-watch over the next few weeks since I'm off for the summer and I'm mostly just doing projects around the house. Well, I don't know how long it's been this way, but Hulu has hardly any full episodes of Enterprise left. It looks like you can watch most of seasons two and three, a handful of episodes from season one, and nothing from season four. What's up with this? I'm pretty annoyed that I'm paying for Hulu Prime and can't even watch episodes of one of my favorite shows.

I really don't know all the rules about licensing, but the Enterprise episodes are now on netflix (which is where I watch them). Maybe they outbid Hulu?

Hulu and Netflix are competitors. CBS chose Netflix last April as the official online streaming source for all of its Star Trek franchise. They probably got a better deal with Netflix.

I watch all my ENT on Netlfix. I know certain shows like Quantum Leap for example have a bunch of Episodes on Hulu (where I watch them), and a bunch on Netlfix, but they don't have ALL the episodes on either carrier...it's pretty annoying.

So maybe the license deal just now kicked in or something. Just earlier this week I watched "Damage" and "Azati Prime" on Hulu, and I know that I saw full episodes of "Broken Bow" and other episodes from season one available.

There are 45 episodes available at StarTrek.com (about half of what used to be there, but they never had all of them as far as I can tell) and there are episodes also available at CBS.com, but none from season 4. Enterprise seems to come and go at CBS. These are free, legal sites. Better than nothing, especially if you can't afford the DVDs.

None for Season 4! Arguable the absolute BEST full season of any of the Star Trek series! For shame, St.com, for shame.
