Hulu has announced the addition of four new TV shows (streaming over the internet) to their programming lineup. The new shows include “The Awesomes,” “Don’t Quit Your Daydream,” “Flow,” and “We Got Next.” “We Got Next” is scheduled to start this year, while “The Awesomes” is slated to premiere in 2013. Hulu had already announced other new original shows such as “Battleground,” and “A Day in the Life.” The new shows clearly reflect where Hulu is now focusing their attention (as opposed to a year ago when they there trying to sell it off.) Who knows, maybe Hulu will someday have as many TV shows as NBC, FOX and the other big networks.
