<p>To writers  and producers, some of Netflix’s inexperience at programming is an  asset—there are no intrusive notes from network suits, because Netflix  doesn’t employ any. Netflix is not subject to the FCC’s broadcast  regulations or cable carriage disputes. Because everything on its  service streams on demand, there is no programming grid—no worries about  going up against <em>Monday Night Football</em>. Most significant, when  Netflix makes a series available online, it posts all the episodes at  once: no more parceling out the drama week by week. That is a  fundamental change in the way “television” series can be created.</p>
