Yesterday, I laid out why the new Netflix original content plan could be a game-changer in terms of television content and the ultimate disruption of cable. But it still all depends on if the show(s) they pick end up being hits. It appears that Netflix's first bet, House of Cards, is just about as good of a bet as you could make " but it's still no guarantee. Here's an idea that could be much more of a guarantee: saving cult hits.Each year, dozens of shows on network and cable television get cancelled. Most of these cancellations are for good reason. But every once in a while the hammer comes down on a show that's considered to be a cult hit " or one that could turn out to be a real hit, if given more time. The problem, of course, is that these shows often don't have the massive viewership numbers to sell a large amount of advertising against. But that model doesn't apply to Netflix.
