How big is Netflix in America?
Am I the only person who wishes Netflix would use the money it takes to create all this original content (Ok other than AD Season 4) and use it to add tons and tons of old movies & tv shows to their streaming library?
With how much they seem to be spending on original content they probably could have almost doubled their library size by now.

That would be awesome.
I don't get why they keep kicking around the idea of keeping these shitty shows around (recently kicked around saving Terra Nova as well). How bout a new season of Veronica Mars or something like that? Get a show with real pedigree back, not fringe stuff that is poor quality and was poorly received from a ratings perspective.

Um... Jericho wasn't "revive 5 years later" good.
I pray to god you're not talking about Arrested Development.

If done right, I'm in.
Firefly at least got a movie, and Nathan is doing pretty good with Castle. Not sure if it would ever happen.
With Journeyman on the other hand, I'm not sure if anyone in that show is doing anything worthwhile at the moment. Funny enough the actor that plays Jack Vasser (Dan's bother) was in Dollhouse.

Sounds more like they are just making this crap up to see fan/internet reaction and nothing more.
Fillion is definitely interested in doing another season. The man jokes about trying to get the rights all the time. The problem is getting the rest of the crew. I'm sure Whedon would be down for it. It's not like Glau is doing anything important.

I like it when the first post gets it right.
Netflix should also revive Rubicon while they are at it.
Would be amazing, but realistically it can't even be talked about until Castle runs its course.
Completely agreed, don't give crap about Jericho or Arrested Development. If they were going to do all of this garbage they should have nabbed Conan O'brien or something viable. I'd rather they just get more shows and movies, preferably from networks they don't seem to have like HGTV/The E Channel etc. etc.

you can't put a price on sparks
that would be really cool. the way it ended really made me want more and... i think they could probably just do a redo of season 2 and get away with it because they were super rushed.
Correct.

What's Moon Bloodgood doing? Have to imagine she is available.
I love Jericho, it was soo real that America couldn't handle it!
it would be amazing if something bad happened to the states and the only threat was there own people.
I loved that the Chinese helped out the states, I think that was a really shocker considering how everyone would feel Chinese would evade the states

Well they should really get more original content so they aren't so hamstrung by the content providers. But yeah new material on instant stream would always be welcomed

YES YES MORE YES.
Season 2 had to wrap things up so quickly. :\

Sorry, Whedon can't hear you over that mad Hollywood money and praise.
Netflix would probably prefer the same thing. However, I doubt the studios are content with just hiking up the price.

Would prefer them to bring Netflix to the UK first.

It is if you're attempting to build a reputation for creating content for subscribers. Its likely cheap (no big sets or SFX) and depending how much CBS would like to whore out Jericho it could end up being a very good deal for Netflix.

A thousand times THIS!

Honestly though, I'm pretty sure he'd do it if the situations was right - the primary actors were available, he was given the needed creative control, the budget isn't too gimped, etc.
Eh.
And Firefly is not going to happen, or else they would have started to have preliminary talks by now. Nathan and Alan, and Jewel and Morena are on completely opposite production schedules, making it pretty impossible for either to do it while the other is working.
(Nathan and Allen film August - March/April, Jewel and Morena film in the summer)

A poor version that is rarely updated.

I would fucking LOVE this. OMG. Bring it on.
Nathan - Castle
Alan - Suburgatory
Morena - Homeland
Jewel - The LA Complex
I actually think LAC wraps mid-summer.
Though, I guess that Suburgatory doesn't really matter. Still, there's too much conflict and not enough time.

First post nails it!
Not sure what, but I figure Nathan's doing Castle, Alan's doing Surburbia (or whatever that sitcom is called) and Morena's doing Homeland.

True, but it's still, you know, Netflix. (I wish Netflix would just get into bed with LoveFilm, seeing as that seems to be all the rage round these parts)
