Okay — rather most likely it’s business deal pressure from cocksmokers at the networks who are facing financial pressures just like many of us. We seem to be fed crap from every direction.

Okay I went to watch a recent episode of Bones

Season 4 Episode 14 – scheduled to expire
Season 1 Episode 1 – Not scheduled to expire

That is not a DVD issues. It’s a bullshit issue.

I still have cable. I like to catch up on shows at leisure….

I am this // close to going off the grid.

Q : How come some videos expire off of Hulu?

Our content availability goals are aligned with those of our users: to get as much content as possible and to keep it all up permanently. How many episodes we are able to post and how long we’re able to keep them on the site depends on streaming clearances granted by our content providers. We work with them constantly to try to secure more, and they’ve been great about working on our behalf to reach into their vaults.

There isn’t one single reason why a show might expire off of the site. Streaming clearances can be limited by any number of legal or business agreements that differ from show to show. Music clearances, impending DVD sales, syndication sales – these are just a few reasons why an episode might expire.

It’s just as painful for us as it is for you when we have to expire a video as they are the heart of our business, so know that we’re working hard all the time to continue to expand streaming clearances.

=============

I wonder if the shows you are watching are getting ready for a DVD release and therefore are geting pulled?
