OPENhulu is the brainchild of Matt Schlicht, and while he insists that he isn't violating any of Hulu's rules, we can't imagine it'll take long for someone to send this guy a cease and desist notice.
Schlicht's idea is pretty simple. Hulu lets you embed most of the service's videos on your own website. Since the videos include advertisements, Hulu makes money no matter where you watch them. So Schlicht has begun to embed every video he can on his own site. The layout isn't quite as pretty as Hulu, and there's a whole bunch of advertising on every page.
Since Schlicht has to copy and paste the embed code one at a time, not every TV show, series, or movie is available yet. If you're looking for Doogie Houser M.D. episodes you're out of luck for now. But you can watch The A-Team, Bones, House, My Name is Earl and many other popular shows. Or you could visit NBC.com or Fox.com to find many of the same episodes.

You can much of the same content, streaming directly from Hulu's servers.
Uh, what?

Hulu offers the option of embedding videos on your own site. The videos are all still hosted by Hulu. So OpenHulu and similar sites basically just post the embed code for every video they can find. But Hulu is still serving up the video.

Woah this is great. Battlestar Galactica is not in widescreen though.

You might also be interested in checking out another alternative which gives access to all Hulu videos (that's not the case on openHulu) and has a fullscreen mode.

Not sure I'm feeling OpenHulu. I think I'd rather use the real thing. I recently did a review of Hulu over at HighbridNation.com. Overall I'm pleased though. However somethings could be better. Like can I get more than one of the 19 seasons of Simpsons please?
