Can Hulu save traditional TV?

Even for Hollywood, where long odds and high stakes are staples of storytelling, the plotline is a doozy: A couple of old business rivals facing the threat of a lifetime agree to put aside their differences and join forces on a half-baked experiment that makes them laughingstocks. (We're thinking Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty.) And who do they put in charge? A young guy, a newbie to the biz. He promptly cleans house and hires an even younger guy who's halfway around the globe. These renegades throw out the rule book -- and they pull it off. Their idea kills. The naysayers feast on crow.  (Click the second link to see Hulu's top ten tv shows.  Who needs the ever dubious Nielsen ratings to see what's really what's really going on.  You'll be surprised how popular sassy grownup comedies are these days.)
