Netflix: House of Cards

[Buck]

I hope it's a huge hit, I dumped cable, and I would love more shows to follow this route.

I also wonder if a TV channel will ever buy the syndication rights for a show like this and might we see House of Cards replays on TNT in 10 years?

I just really want some new Jericho or Firefly, but I'll gladly take more high-quality new shows too.

That is a great idea.

I don't think any station would pay enough or interest Netflix. They want people to sign up and watch this whenever, whether now or a year from now. Syndicating contradicts what Netflix is trying to do.

Plus, most stations that do miniseries type stuff like this are, or soon will be, competitors.

Edit: plus, in a few years how many TVs won't have built in access to Netflix, either native or through Microsoft, apple, or Google? Syndication isn't their plan
