Hulu only has commercials on their second-run (day-after-air) content from broadcast sources.  They have a substantial back catalogue of stuff that doesn&#x27;t include said commercials.<p>I get why they have commercials: a $10&#x2F;mo. service that provides shows the day after they air would devalue that content too much without commercials and would be uncompetitive when pricing to exclude them.  For a comparison: a season pass for the newest season of Doctor Who (S9) on iTunes&#x2F;Amazon Instant costs around $31 (it happens to be a featured show on iTunes), or about $2.58 per episode.  It does not include commercials, and can be cached and viewed offline, and is available the day after it airs.  After three episodes, you&#x27;ve just about met the budget for a full month of Hulu Plus.
