Ive always thought about this, but whats the point in Netflix taken off good movies and TV series?
I just found out last night they took of Prison Break ffs, I understand its been on there a while but whats the harm just leving it there.

I'm pretty sure they lease content for certain ammounts of time. Sometimes long sometimes less. it sucks when they take stuff off thats been there forever though!

Because Netflix's catalog (minus their own 'Netflix original' content) is licensed for a predetermined amount of time. Mainly because money but also because it wouldn't make sense to keep all 9 seasons of Roseanne on Netflix for 5 years if nobody is watching it. It's all about demand and what the publishing companies want to license out and for how much.
tl;dr money

Ok i guess, that does answer my question, just sad to see Prison Break go though, lets hope they dont do that with Breaking Bad :O
Thanks Saki

Yoooo. This made me pissy too. I couldn't find prison break and they don't have American Dad on there anymore. Only half of the seasons of futurama. No south park. -.-

They took off my 3 favorite shows.
All seasons of South Park(Hulu has it now)
Malcolm in the Middle(a real shame)
and the best show of all time, My Name is Earl
