Because I didn't watch enough tv as is

Love Hulu/Fancast for the full episodes, especially of the shows no longer on tv. I'm used to watching episodes linked on the network sites, but they only offer current listings. I used Hulu to catch up on some "30 Rock" episodes I hadn't seen. I It is getting harder and harder for me to watch anything in real time anymore. I was talking with some teens in a book group and they often wait until the show is out on DVD so that they can watch the whole thing in a few sittings. I'm not sure how useful these sites, but they are entertaining and it is useful to recommend them to patrons. They do offer recommendations for other episodes/movies you might like ("Watchers' Advisory" - sounds menacing)

I've watched YouTube videos that friends have e-mailed me about and I enjoyed several of the library videos. I enjoyed looking at several teen spaces and promotional videos for Summer Reading Programs. I'll often look up how-to videos for a craft or project. For example when looking for bug origami proects for a program, I found this simple origami butterfly.
