Those shows/movies are controlled by just those big firms. As big actors, writers, companies just want their money, many good stuff doesnt have a chance for audience.
I know there're already web based TV and youtube. For the first one, when I tried to watch Jericho on CBS site, it randomly encounters error and skips certain parts. There's no good way for me to go back to where I left, it was quite annoying. Youtube has a lot limitation, quality is rather poor, I dont know how to find what I need but you have to admit youtube is very successful and they make money!
So I just wonder, can we improve based on streaming tv that's available? Combine P2P, streaming and rss? How about a program that can run on PC and modded xbox, which takes certain amount of hard drive space, you check and can subscribe to those shows you want through rss like technology. User can streaming a lower quality of the show using P2P to save server bandwidth and user can subscribe the show to utilize P2P to download the full show. We can create a not so intrusive way to show advertisement for user and make some money. Provide profit sharing for content creators. There are many talented people out there with their digital camcorder, I've already seen some brilliant stuff from them.
Maybe google can do it. :)
it turns out there are already many sites doing it.
I think what's missing is that:
  1. I want it on my TV, not just on my PC - modded xbox, software to turn your PC into better media center than MCE
  2. I want higher quality content than youtube - P2P download plus low quality streaming preview
  3. The hosting cost needs to be low so it's easier to make a profit on it for everybody - P2P
  4. Also youtube is not so well organized, this needs to be - rss style subscription mode
