the business model is probably a big topic. You would need some surveys to find out what the general public think ( maybe that is why you are asking on HN ) From what i know of tv show pricing, the purchasing of prime time shows is 2-5million per episode for the tv channels to air it. so they have to play it many many times and get advertising and maybe subscription against it to pull a profit. I guess Itunes is a "pay per episode like model", but i would be more interested in not thinking about purchasing each show.
