Honestly, I think Netflix and Hulu result in me watching more TV. If I miss an episode or two of a show, that starts the slide into quitting the show. But if the show's on Hulu, I can stay caught up, and then go back to watching it live.

Similarly, I wouldn't want to jump into a show halfway through Season 3. It'd be confusing and too much work. And I'm not going to buy two seasons worth of DVDs because the current commercials look cool. So if I can get those back seasons on Netflix then I can become a loyal viewer.
