True, but even Star Trek and Star Wars can be bled dry eventually. There's a reason Star Trek went into hibernation for so long.

Disney has Marvel, the Lucas stuff and their own history. CBS has Star Trek (and doesn't Paramount own Star Trek anyway?) and the Twilight Zone and...?

NBC, CBS and the rest can create their own original streaming content, but will it make sense to spend a lot of money on quality shows that aren't being shown on their own broadcast channels? And will it be enough? Already there's the joke about getting excited when you see a trailer for a new show only to be disappointed when you see it's exclusive to Hulu.
