SF Signal: It's a Sci Fi Christmas

It's a Sci Fi Christmas - Lost in Space

We continue our tour through Hulu's science fiction library, stopping on another Irwin Allen classic.

This time, we present the very first episode of Lost in Space, in all it's black-and-white glory!

To be more constructive than Mr. Anonymous, from the Hulu site:

Q : Why can't I watch your videos from outside the U.S.?

For now, Hulu is a U.S. service only. That said, our intention is to make Hulu's growing content lineup available worldwide. This requires clearing the rights for each show or film in each specific geography and will take time. We're encouraged by how many content providers have already been working along these lines so that their programs can be available over the Internet to a much larger, global audience. The Hulu team is committed to making great programming available across the globe.

Basically, it's legal reasons keeping non-US residents from accessing Hulu video feeds. Would they suck less if they broke the law and allowed everyone to watch the videos?

Check out the line where the television announcer says, "deep thrust scientific probes into neighboring galaxies have conclusively established that Alpha Centauri is the one planet able to sustain human existence within the range of our technology."

Um. Could not Irwin Allen afford to hire a high school student to look over his scripts and tell him the difference between galaxies, stars, and planets? Jeez.
