Netflix Should Try a Traditional TV Schedule

Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) has built its business around a binge model. It releases entire seasons of its shows all at once, allowing consumers to consume them quickly if they choose to do so.

That's seemingly a pro-consumer strategy. You get to watch a series as quickly or as slowly as you want without the artificial delay created when traditional networks space out new episodes over weeks or months to fill air time.

In reality, Netflix might be doing a disservice to its shows and to its viewing audience. By releasing its series seasons in the all-at-once fashion, it's lessening the chance a show has to become a hit and hurting the shared experience truly good television can foster.
