I see (heh) the rose-colored glasses with Netflix a lot. Their streaming catalog for licensed content, especially movies, was always pretty sucky. People may remember specific things they used to have that they don't now, but it was always hard to find specific shows and, especially, films if you went searching for them.

I remember mentioning this to a senior Netflix tech guy at the time and his response was basically that people come for the movies and stay for the TV. (This was a bit before the real explosion in premium TV content.)
