Hulu adds 51 vintage episodes of Speed Racer
The team over at Hulu, the site that offers streaming video of television content from NBC, Fox, and now ABC, has added 51 episodes of Speed Racer to its lineup. That's right, you can now catch Speed, Trixie, Spritle, Pops, and even Chim-Chim from the comfort of your own work cubicle.
Savvy followers of Speed Racer and the awesome Mach 5 will know that 52 episodes originally aired from 1967-1968 on U.S. television sets, meaning Hulu is only missing one (Episode 31, Part 1 of "Gang of Assassins"). All of the rest of the 24-minute episodes, plus the theme song, are on the site. So, what are you waiting for? Thanks for the tip Brenton!

No I can't... they block it here. :( But I feel that its because people are not that bright here. My boss thought it was another illegal/pirated site. The joys of working in IT...
But I did just finally get to watch the movie on BluRay last night. By far the best looking BD I have. Now I just need a bigger TV.

I'm disappointed. I've known that Speed Racer and all 51 episodes were on there since they added cartoons to Hulu (around September 2008 or so). Old news. Nice try.

So what happened to "Gang of Assassins"? Too violent? Not PC enough? I probably haven't seen those episodes since they originally aired in 1967-68, so maybe I'll go check them out. I just hope the voices haven't been re-dubbed.

Hulu is quicky replacing YouTube as the best time waster on the internet.
