Netflix To Stream Early Seasons Of Lost And Other ABC Shows

From the press release:

While the interface could use some work, I appreciate how easy it is to get Netflix streaming content to my television. Without it, I would have never seen the excellent first season of Party Down, which had new episodes available for streaming as the series aired. I can only hope that the big networks get over their fears of having Hulu content available on our TVs as well.

In its entirety, the deal will allow Netflix members to instantly watch the first five seasons of the hit ABC franchise Lost, seasons four and five of the pop culture phenomenon Desperate Housewives, season five of the critically acclaimed Grey’s Anatomy, and seasons one and two of the syndicated epic action-adventure fantasy series Legend of the Seeker from ABC Studios. Many of the episodes, including the first four seasons of Lost, will be available from Netflix beginning August 1. The remainder will be available in subsequent months, beginning in September.

Discuss: Will you be taking advantage of these new series on Netflix Watch Instantly? Have you discovered new series just because they’re available for streaming online?
