> I think that Hulu Prime, the version without commercials

The last time I looked, the commercial free version of Hulu still had commercials for some shows. Has that changed?

There are a few shows that large cable companies wants to have with ads. But it's minimal. I think one of them is "Once upon a time".

Any guesses why this is? It seems so strange to me that it isn't possible to offer a commercial free service.

I haven't seen any commercials since I started paying $11.98/month, a plan that they say is "No Commercials."

says some shows still have commercials:

Grey’s Anatomy, Once Upon a Time, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Scandal, Grimm, New Girl and How To Get Away With Murder

It also says shows available for next-day viewing will still have commercials.
