Just in case a
throwaway mention of a streaming-only subscription for US customers wasn't enough, an agreement adding plenty of recognizable content from
NBC to its Watch Instantly service might help
Netflix distract from a recent
string of PR gaffes. Starting next week, cable shows from the media giant's stable like
Psych,
Battlestar Galactica and others, episodes from the most recent seasons of NBC shows including
The Office and
30 Rock will be available. Not good enough? Why not throw in every single season of
Friday Night Lights and
Saturday Night Live, with new eps of SNL added the day after they air for the next three years. Seems like a win/win to us, with many hours of new content for Netflix while NBC cashes a fat check for old seasons of
Monk and
Law & Order:SVU -- as much as we love Tony Shalhoub as a neurotic private investigator, those DVD boxed sets just weren't moving like they used to. The only question left is whether HD streaming for any of these is on deck, until we hear back just check out the full press release after the break.
