And the Award for the Next HBO Goes to...

The quirky little start-up that once printed money by mailing you DVDs is -bent on morphing into the HBO—and the network, and the any-show, any-time streaming service—of tomorrow.
Quote:
"What if you could radically alter the way stories get told?" asks Ted Sarandos. "What if the way people wanted to consume content actually changed what you could make?" Rhetorical questions, perhaps, but the kind of things Netflix's chief content officer, its point man in Hollywood, likes to ponder when he has a down moment.
Which is hardly ever. These days, he is the man everyone wants to take a meeting with. People love you when you're handing out the cash, and Sarandos, who looks the part with pressed jeans and a crisp white shirt but has one of the weirdest résumés in town (graduate of an Arizona community college, worked his way up in the DVD business from video-store clerk, landed at Netflix in 2000 to run distribution), has $6 billion to dole out over the next three years. Most of that is for licensing content from networks, cable companies, and movie studios, but about $300 million is for original programming. "There's not a lot of really great, deep, serialized television," he says, "and we can see from the data that that's what people want."
He hopes to make at least five new shows a year, he says, leaning back on a sofa in his Beverly Hills office in an anonymous-looking suite. His dream project: a Netflix series created by Warren Beatty. "He's great in long form," Sarandos says. "His only problems have been when he's constrained." Sarandos is also warming up Jodie Foster, who directed an episode of Orange Is the New Black. "The goal," he says, "is to become HBO faster than HBO can become us." His seductive pitch to today's new breed of TV auteurs: a huge audience, real money, no meddlesome executives ("I'm not going to give David Fincher notes"), no pilots (television's great sucking hole of money and hope), and a full-season commitment.

On February 1, all of Hollywood will be watching the debut of House of Cards, David Fincher's drama starring Kevin Spacey, for which Netflix outmaneuvered HBO. (Fincher, the director of Fight Club and The Social Network, has never before done television; Hastings gave him $100 million and let him make two thirteen-episode seasons.) Subscribers will be able to stream the entire first season of the pitch-black Beltway thriller—imagine the anti–West Wing—in a single sitting. Within months of that debut, two other series, Orange Is the New Black (by Weeds creator Jenji Kohan, from a memoir about a Smith girl in a women's prison) and Hemlock Grove, an adaptation of the supernaturally tinged novel, will also stream exclusively on Netflix. And in the spring, Netflix will debut the long-awaited season four of Arrested Development, the beloved series that Fox canceled seven years ago. (Also on the tarmac: Derek, Ricky Gervais's much maligned show about a dim-witted eccentric who works in a nursing home, and season two of Lilyhammer, Netflix's first attempt at an original series, which debuted last February and stars Steven Van Zandt as a mobster taking shelter in a small Norwegian town.)

Have you watched at all yet?
I finished the 13 episodes in 3 days.
How did you like it?
It's absolutely great. I was leery of the direction it was going in the first episode. I don't like the glorification of evil people. The show is addictive, like Dexter in that I like something I normally wouldn't. In this case, you get to see some corruption inside of politics.
also the boondocks is there, that show won a peabody award for a reason.

Netflix made a deal with WB for the entire WB animated backlog, as well as Cartoon Network and adult swim. So they'll eventually make their way to streaming.
Netflix streaming needs to get ALF and Family Ties.
I recently watched Deadfall, United, Decoy Bride, and the Giant Mechanical Man on Netflix. Deadfall was alright. United was good but very sad. Decoy Bride and Giant Mechanical Man were somewhat funny but entertaining.
Haha Johnny Bravo was the
Cow and Chicken
Also BTAS was awesome

I've always wanted to see Samurai Jack but never got around to watching it. May give it a shot now.
I've seeing both Justice League/Unlimited. The latter sucked.
Oh and hey a new show coming to Netflix April 19th..
I'm really liking what Netflix is doing.
I just hope they dont get greedy and start charging you an arm and a leg with all this new content coming up.
Samurai Jack = awesome.
13 episodes though?
Regular Show is the tbh.
BTW, where are you getting all the info about new content been added?
It would help to know what and when Netflix will release.
The way its set up I barely notice when new content is added.
I had no idea those shows from CN were even being release. lol

Family ties was on there pastime I checked. You just have to search for it.
2nd season was better than the first but the season 1 season finale was the ing , prob one of the best arcs in all of the DCAU
Do they just have one season up? I think there were 52 episodes in total.
Yep they do.
At least when I checked last night.
Its wierd because the Justice League ones and Batman Beyond episodes are all there.
