The new arrangement includes next day airings of 'Saturday Night Live' and prior seasons of several previously unavailable shows.

It's been a big week for the folks at Netflix. They introduced streaming-only subscriptions in Canada, hinted at a similar service in the states and now have made a deal with NBC that will open up whole new avenues of content.

Order 'Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows'

Coming to Blu-ray June 12th

For starters, Netflix will be able to stream episodes of 'Saturday Night Live' the day after they air. It's a pretty big step forward and also includes hundreds of past 'SNL' episodes. Also a part of the deal, Netflix will be streaming all episodes from the past season of shows like '30 Rock,' 'Law & Order: SVU,' and 'The Office.'

Also up for streaming next week – 75 episodes of 'Battlestar Galactica' and the entire catalog of past seasons of 'Monk' and 'Psych.'
