Here's my list of shows and movies I like enough to rate (most are 4 or 5, a couple of 3s). The majority (about 90%) are instant streaming, but a couple aren't.
Just pulled it from my Netflix account. All the documentaries I've watched are really good. I highly recommend them all.

You made a list like that and DONT include 24?! Don't even give me crap about how it got worse as the seasons went on -- you have Lost listed.

Actually 24 was on my instant queue, but I didn't rate it (don't know why, must have forgot). And I do like 24, though I think I stopped at season 7.

There are some other good shows that I've seen on Netflix that I never got around to rating. My list isn't comprehensive.
And there are a good 100+ shows and movies currently on my queue that I expect to be good but haven't watched yet.

I'm currently watching Carrier. Life aboard the USS Nimitz is interesting to watch. 🙂

Panties. Bunch.

He did mention the list was shows he rated so maybe he's never seen 24 or didn't care enough to rate it?
 
add Pontypool
Valentine's Day is off to a bizarre start for a radio shock-jock when he runs into a crazed woman on his way to work -- and that's only the beginning. Soon, scores of other people in the small Ontario town of Pontypool start acting awfully odd.

I'm upset that I just joined streaming when the Starz contract expired (didn't have anything to stream to my TV before this week). I'm more interested in watching movies than TV shows. Any chance of them getting more movies on streaming in the future?

But, but, but...Netflix streaming has no content!! /sarcasm

There's a ton of stuff in Crono's list I've never seen that I'm interested in. I guess I should be glad I have taste and don't give two craps about most of the newest junk Hollywood puts out, which is the ONLY reason I can think of why someone would think there's no content available.

A few more--all of the shows have pretty much the entire run aside from the current season if they're currently on the air:

MI-5
How I Met Your Mother
South Park
The Office (US and UK versions)
Family Guy
Sports Night
Phineas and Ferb
Bones

Yeah, no content at all.

they do have some stuff, but for how many months do I need to pay 8 dollars to see it? I admit there is some good stuff on there, but once you've had it for 6 months or so its a lot less interesting unless you just like watching the same shit over and over.
