Couching the discussion as a la carte channels instead of a la carte shows is some kind of jedi mind trick by studio execs.

Apple Season Pass should be like $3/season, not $5/episode.

Edit: Netflix didn't negotiate certain seasons or episodes of Breaking Bad, nor did it negotiate all of AMC's content. Netflix negotiated rights to specific shows.

$35 per show per season seems very fair to me. I currently pay about $100 per month for cable, Netflix and HBO. We watch far fewer than 36 shows so we're currently paying more than $35 per.
