If they didn't have the rights to this character any more, then there is no way they could legally be displaying these episodes unless they found a loophole perhaps.
I'm wondering if this is a sign that R1 DVDs of both shows are coming soon? (Fingers crossed).
I'm not so sure about the rights issues being worked out just because BIONIC WOMAN is on Hulu.
Different rights and issues cover different mediums. Just as the show can be released on DVD overseas, there might be some clause that allows them to stream the series on the net.
