Why not on Netflix?


Why is this not on Netflix or syndicated. This and Psych were 2 of my all time favorites.

Hulu which is owned, I believe, by * NBC, and others are trying to push out Netflix and one way is to out bid them and push up the price of content...and in NBC's case use their content they already own as a loss leader to keep their prices down and if they can push out independents like Netflix then they can charge higher prices for content in the future.

This is only my opinion and as such is worth what you paid for it....which is zero.

*could be wrong about that.

I have season 1-2 and a few more episodes on Amazon Prime. (Season 3-8 on DVD)

reply

Yes but on Amazon Prime you have to pay by the episode to view.

reply

Or by the season. Yes. I think I paid about $10 each for season 1 & 2 when there was a sale. Pretty good price, I think.

That makes sense, but Psych is on Netflix. Hope they don't take it off when it's contract expires.

and what, continue to stream it while they don't have the rights to anymore?

that doesn't make any sense

reply

And what.

Renew the contract when it expires. Does that make sense?

reply

Perhaps it isn't profitable at the end of the day...or if no one has done it yet, write to Netflix and ask for it to be renewed.

Renewal has to be offered first, DUH!

if NBC-Universal doesn't offer renewal then netflix can't.

By the way, it's leaving on october 1st

Savvy customers will just buy secondhand copies of the show on DVD, which is what I did. I paid the equivalent of $25 for the entire 8-season set on eBay. Far better than paying some company a monthly fee to watch one show when I don't care about the other shows.

I've since watched the entire lot, and I gave the set away to a charity shop so someone else gets it cheap, and the charity shop gets a little help too.

You can actually request that the show be put on netflix.
