I use Netflix for binge watching all the time, sometimes for shows I've already seen. Recently, I watched all 11 seasons of Frasier and am currently on season 8 of Cheers. And I'll also use it for catch-up on shows that I initally missed, like The Blacklist. I binge watched season 1 a couple weeks ago and am all caught up and ready for season 2.

The NBC site only has a few episodes at a time, they don't post the whole season. Over the summer, my daughter-in-law watched Once Upon A Time on Netflix, from season one until last season. She is 23. My guys, hubby and three sons, 23, 20 and 17, also watched My Name Is Earl, after it went into syndication. They had never watched when it was on before being cancelled. And yet last spring, they also watched it on Netflix, from season one until the last season. Every evening they would watch several episodes. So I guess there is a market for network shows being shown on Netflix, after being shown live, then in syndication. Oh...no doubt. I binge watch shows all the time...currently Criminal Minds, and its how I got introduced to Revenge. I just thought $2 million per episode seemed a little high once it had aired because I would think it would have thought most people would have watched it when it first aired, or would have watched on NBC.com. I would understand paying a premium for a cable show like MadMen, because some people don't have cable, but everyone should have network TV. But I understand the binge watching model, it just seemed like a lot of money per show. But of course, Netflix often knows something I don't, which is why they are so successful! 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13533-the-blacklist-in-the-media/#findComment-396391

RealityGal September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 I think it also has to do with HBO and the networks behind Hulu ramping up to go after the Netflix audience. Oh, I hadn't thought of that. Its true, although I now have Netflix for a variety of reasons. First, there is the fact that I love the selection of Watch Instant options. Second, I love, love, love House of Cards and Orange Is The New Black. Not only do I love the shows, but I sort of want to encourage and reward Netflix for bringing such interesting programming, and the binge watch formula. I mean, the weekend House of Cards comes out, I plan to be sitting alone in a dark room, in sweatpants ordering pizzas. Third, if I'm ever really in the mood to, I can always re-add DVD's to my plan and I don't think thats a thing with Hulu. But I totally understand why Netflix would worry about Amazon, Hulu and HBO coming after them.

Danielg342 May 17, 2015 Share May 17, 2015 I thought Monday was the perfect place for The Blacklist. For some reason it seems like a Monday show, not a Thursday show. I hope they change it back. Mom was changed from Monday to Thursday also and that needs to go back to Monday. Does anyone else have days of the weeks feelings about shows? Unfortunately for next season this show will stay on Thursday, with the new Heroes show being its lead-in. Perhaps I should give that a chance since Heroes should have a good, built-in audience, although I'd like to think The Blacklist, after two seasons, should be able to stand on its own. Hopefully this will allow it to rebuild its audience, and I hope that if the show still stumbles NBC will change it back to Monday- it worked so well with The Voice so, if it wasn't broke, why'd they try to fix it?

Danielg342 May 17, 2015 Share May 17, 2015 Thursday is an important bloc of programming simply because it's the day before Friday- when all the new movies get released. Since all the networks have studio relationship, it's important to get eyeballs on Thursday, so that networks can generate the most advertising for those new movies. So a move to Thursday indicates the network believes a show can generate those eyeballs...of course, ABC so thoroughly dominates the night that I'm not sure why other networks even try to compete with "current" shows.
