I really wish netflix would let me create 'channels.'
I wish I could pick 5 or 6 television series, group them together, and just hit 'play random.' Netflix then randomly selects an episode from one of the series, then plays it!
If we take your idea and added a mechanism that plays new episodes (from those pre-selected series) at a user-designated primetime showing, I think we would have a winner.
Why can't one of these services just give us our own legit pseudo-channel? (Hulu???) BTW, you can sort-of do this with a combination of XBMC, a few plugins (mainly pseudoTV), Couchpotato, Sickbeard and a good tracker, but it is way too much of a headache to setup and maintain.

I've wanted this for a while, but I'm betting licensing is going to get messy there.
I'd be happy with just a "watch random shows from this tv category".
how difficult it is selecting one item from your list?
the problem is finding anything worth of moving to your list.
