You bring up an interesting issue in showing their competitors programming. Right now, they have no competitors because they aren't showing anything original...but once they do, they are essentially competing with the very people who help them make money.

I don't think the companies would do anything as drastic as pull their programming off Netflix, but things could change. Who knows.

The only way that will happen is if Netflix outright attacks the studios and companies. If we see hit shows suddenly becoming Netflix exclusive, then companies will be mad.

However if its just Netflix producing its own shows then there isn't anything wrong with it. Its like differnt channels buying and playing re runs of popular TV shows. I mean look at TBS living off this stuff, and still producing their own original content. Its business.

the companies know that if they pull the content from Netflix, people will get mad at them instead of Netflix. I mean look at Fox when they pull stuff from major cable providers. People get ticked off at Fox.

And at the end of the day, you dont want it on netflix? okay netflix still has millions of users so they dont care, your loss.

Same here, except I hardly have an excuse lol. i find cartoons and some kids shows more comical and easier to watch than normal shows. I think its partially because they put adult humor in it, but try to hide it so kids dont pick it up haha.

However I used to watch BBT but thats about it. I TRIED and honestly tried to watch new shoes, stay up to date with Lost and what not. I just cannot get myself to have a TV watching schedule, its not important to me and there is nothing interesting enough to make me put time aside during the day.
