Why cant i watch a show on xbox netflix that is available for streaming online.?

In the meantime (while they are working on a fix), put the movie in your Instant Queue from your computer and it should show up on your Xbox's instant queue.

I was JUST about to ask this very same question. I'm sitting at my TV screen confused as to why I can watch this show on my laptop but not my xbox to my TV. It looks like that particular show is new to the netflix stream so maybe xbox netflix hasn't updated yet? Oh looks like I was right

"There's a bug on the Xbox and TiVo where new titles like How I Met Your Mother are not showing up in the queue on the Xbox 360 and TiVo. NetflixHelps confirmed the bug, 'We are aware of the issue and are working on getting it fixed.'"

I myself have had the same issue. I've come to find out that the show becomes available conveniently enough while I go in the shower. By the time I get out I only have about 15 minutes of playtime before heading to work. This occurs around 10am to 11am pacific time, so now I'm stuck watching half episodes everyday before leaving the house. Really frustrating stuff.

I called customer support about this issue and they gave me some bs answer about how they are working on it. That was last week.

it wasn't working for me before as well. just checked and it's working now though! see for yourself!

I am glad I am not the only one freaking :P
