I'm not a big Wil Wheaton or Felicia Day fan, but I'm really enjoying Tabletop. Fun show with excellent production values. I just wish the episodes were a little longer (ie, fewer cuts) for some of the more complex games.
Internet broadcasting just keeps getting better and better. It's probably not a great model for fiction where you have to pay writers and real actors, but for entertaining nonfiction it's perfect.

Check out "The Vault" that I linked to above. Very reminiscent of Lost and (so far) of excellent quality. I gather from some of what I've read that they've received outside funding for the show.
My guess is, that five years from now, both Netflix and YouTube will look like networks or producers than just distributors.
