You and I know full well that:

Will never happen on sites like Netflix, Hulu or Crackle. The Networks what to get what they feel they are owed for the shows. Hence why Itunes, Vudu, Amazon get first crack at it for $1.99 or more per episode. Then a week later, you see that episode popping up on the networks website. For free viewing with ads.
The networks are still refusing to accept that the old way of TV broadcasting is dead.
IMO, they'd be smart to establish Youtube channels and broadcast the shows there, with ads built into the show. ]By doing that:
1]They would know exactly the number of viewers that watch the show.
2]They would generate Google adsense money as well.
Though I don't know if people would be happy with watching ads.
And the Networks, Producers, and actors would like to get paid for the show. So if they didn't inject ads into the show, or charge per episode, how else would they get their money?
