See when Hulu came into my life, I didn't give them much thought. I figured they'd let me down like the other major players (Netflix, ABC, NBC, etc) with their online viewing content and providing CC/subtitles. But to my surprised last fall, they DID have CC episodes of shows I acTuALLy wanted to see. Sure not everything on that website is CC, a Deafie can dream can't she? This was me after being Hulu-ized This is me after being semi drenched from the rain tonight on my way home from work and to find zero chance to see my anticipated show!
Hi I am deaf and I use Hulu all the time. I LOVE this website its the only one that gives any decent variety of shows with CC! I want to see the new show "Sit Down and Shut Up" but its not closed caption. Will the future episodes be cc?
Thank you

I sure hope I do get a real reply within the next few days. The last few times I've emailed them since the Superbowl, I havent. Compared to the nice one I got last November;
Hi (DC),
We have coverage on a portion of our catalog, but it looks like Fringe isn't captioned at this time. We know the coverage could be better. The closed-captioning data that's used for broadcast TV isn't easily translated for online use, so we're investigating alternative solutions to boost our closed-captioning library.
On shows where closed captioning is available, you'll see a "cc" button to the left of the volume control. Click on that and select the appropriate language and closed captions will display.
We also offer a default setting for closed captioning, and it will turn on captioning whenever it's available. To activate this setting, go to the Privacy & Settings tab in your Hulu profile (hulu.com/users/settings). You'll find a Closed Captioning box on the left. Select "yes" to automatically run closed captioning whenever you play a video that offers this feature.
You can easily find closed captioned videos by browsing our Most Popular (http://www.hulu.com/popular/
Thanks,
