The lack of shared tv is older than just Netflix. Before satellite tv or digital tv when there were only a few channels, popular tv shows would get viewing figures that would be totally insane by todays standards (eg 10s of millions of people in the U.K.) so there would in theory be much more of a shared culture from it.
