2 words - Arrested Development.
Anyways, they are going to have some dogs (haha) in the original programming department, but that is what is going to seperate someone from the competitors. Look at AMC, they went from a channel that showed like the same 15 movies all year to having 3 of the biggest shows on television. Honestly I think the movie format is going to become a dinosaur as TV shows are getting less censored and more easy to access, as you can tell a much better story over 10 hours than 2 hours, and being a new way to get those things out without nonsense like commercials is going to be huge if they can get a few more programs.
So to sum up, while I have problems with Netflix, replacing it is going to take more than "we have streaming stuff too".
