Wasn't that one of the original aims of GoogleTV? There were loads of shows legally available for streaming on network sites and on subscription services (in addition to live broadcast or cable) so you could search for a show or a movie and it would list all the places you could watch it at that time. Alternately you could browse by other criteria. If I remember correctly, network sites and services like Hulu blocked GoogleTV via user agent strings and other methods because they wanted their streaming content to only be used as a secondary method of watching while at your computer, not on your living room TV and placed on and even footing with cable or (heaven forbid) independent/user-generated content. Seems that happened pretty early on in GTV's product history and essentially put a damper on the sort of adoption that would have warranted further improvement of the service.
