Why has Netflix not implemented a "random" button?

I do not like choosing episodes of Seinfeld, the office, and other sitcoms you can re-watch over and over. I like the randomness you get from cable channels.

I think this would be a fantastic feature for cordcutters.

Just close your eyes, hit random buttons, then press play.

Are you talking about a "shuffle" button to shuffle episodes?

That would be interesting

Since when does Netflix have Seinfeld?

A random feature within each genre would be cool.

I think most people just start at episode 1 and keep going.

I don't think that's true but I don't have any research to support that

The beginning is the place most people start. You're in the minority on this one.

You can accomplish this by copying all of the episodes into a random selection tool.

Of course I can accomplish this in other ways. That doesn't make it not a good idea. The average person watching that 70s show isn't an excel whiz

Who in this world is just beginning to watch the classic sitcoms for which this tool would be useful? I'm not suggesting using it for shows with meaningful storylines.
