"Paul Kedrosky: "I'm particularly fond of SmashingTelly given how it, in effect, Tivo-ifies the web"... Guy Dickinson: "David Galbraith has turned Smashing Telly into well, the new TV."... Fimoculous: "Best Blogs of 2007"... The Guardian: Video sharing on the net has uncovered a hoard of TV gems...and a number of sites have been established to lead us to them. Take smashingtelly.com."

about

"Smashing Telly is a hand edited collection of the best free, instantly available TV on the web. ~~Not 30 second clips~~ (now with added clips, good ones) of a dog on a skateboard, or the millionth person to mime the Numa song, but classic clips and full length programs, with a focus on documentaries and non fiction. Smashing Television, not Gimmick Television.

Each entry is like a postcard, a short piece of text which describes a moving picture."

A seminal moment here – the excellent, Hulu.com allows us to post one of the all time great documentaries: Hoop Dreams. (US Only)

Wow, I’m amazed. I have this documentary on DVD, and it’s awesome that it might see a wider audience thanks to Hulu. This is one of the best sports documentaries out there. I won’t be forgetting this story of William Gates and Arthur Agee, two young men striving to “make the NBA.” So much is revealed about sports as a business, the pull of the inner city, and the power of families. A must-see.
