Was wondering if anyone else is having this problem: Mad Men will not stream on Netflix on any of my Apple TVs. I can stream all other content. Also, Mad Men streams fine on my iPad, iPhone, and Mac. What gives? Any help or thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

The same thing is happening to me. I'm glad I'm not the only one! If there is a fix for this please let me know.
Thanks

Well, at least it's not isolated. I've put in the issue to netflix. I guess I could call them, but I just don't feel like dealing with them right now. I'll have a go at it again tomorrow, and I'll report back then.
I thought it was me
I have an iMac and was able to watch Mad Men online but kept getting Netflix currently unavailable when I clicked on Mad Men through Apple TV. All other content seemed fine. Also, do any of you find yourself having to reset (i.e. unplugging apple tv) in order for it to reconnect to netflix?

It worked fine for me ... most of the time. There were a few random episodes that just wouldn't play, so I'd watch those on my computer.
Did it work just now? Because I tried about an hour ago and still no go. It won't even let me access the episode lists.
I had a similar problem with my ATV2 and finally I just pulled the plug and reboot the unit. Netflix played fine after that. Not sure what was going wrong.
Just got off the phone with Netflix
So I just got off the phone with Netflix and they said that there is a digital file for each program and streaming device and something in the combination of Mad Men and Apple TV is corrupted. The service rep said that "Our top engineers are currently nerding out drinking redbull to try and solve it." Funny how honest she was! I guess I'll keep trying every evening till it's back.

Thanks for putting in the footwork and calling. Glad to know Netflix is aware if the situation.
I have the exact same issue. Mad Men will not stream on my AppleTV2. Works find on iOS and my Mac. AppleTV streams all other content except Mad Men. I get a display message saying "Netflix is currently unavailable. Try again later."
Glad to know I am not alone, to bad I really am getting into this series.. Netflix step up your game and fix this already its been a week
I have the same issue with Mad Men on an ATV2. All other Netflix content I tried plays fine. Thanks for making this thread!
I was fearing the worst and assumed it was being pulled because of some expired agreement.
The thing that sucks about Netflix is that the content can disappear at any time based on expiring agreements. They should put an expiration date on the content so you know how long you have to watch it before it disappears.

Thanks for scaring me!

They do - look at your instant queue under notes. For instants I have Defiance in my queue, in the notes its says "until 8/27/11"
