Ok, now “Unique Whips” and “Pinks” are good additions, but they really need to get BBC’s “Top Gear” on there. I will buy every single episode.

Wow, I didn’t know people watched FOX for anything except the Simpsons. Too bad they failed to make available the only thing they have ever done right.

Dude. Have you been living under a rock? BtVS is definetively a classic show.

With all these shows, why didn’t they add Arrested Development, The Simpsons, Futurama, or Family Guy? Do you think they are waiting to see how well the other shows do, or is this simply another bonehead move on behalf of FOX?

arrested development on itunes would def be the best thing fox does.

What did Rupert Murdoch (owner of Fox) say about iTunes again?
From 2/6/2006:
News Corp.‘s Murdoch not impressed by video iPod, iTunes
News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch said in a recent interview with Newsweek that he’s not impressed with the video iPod and that Apple’s agreements with networks like NBC and ABC are not ground-breaking.
“We’re not knocked out by iPod so far,” he said, adding that News Corp. has had talks with Apple, Google and others. “But how many people really want to get video on a tiny screen when they already have TiVo or a similar service from their cable company or DirecTV? How many will want to pay $1.99 on Monday morning if they missed ‘Desperate Housewives’ the night before? What’s been announced so far with iPod and Disney and NBC is very small-time at the moment.”

Relax.
Remember, the networks don’t and won’t add all of their shows at once. They’ll start with their most popular ones (“24”,“Prison Break”) and add the other popular ones (“The Simpsons”,“Family Guy”) in the coming weeks and months. Both ABC and NBC did this, and FOX will too.
Now that FOX has finally cracked and let their shows onto iTunes, the REAL question is how long before CBS does the same?

Family Guy and Simpsons are steady DVD sellers. Prison Break and 24 (although probably more popular right now) are the types of DVDs that sell huge their first few weeks out on DVD, then slow down. You know they make more selling those $50 boxes than they do splitting profits with Mr Jobs on 2 bucks per episode. Once they start selling the DVD sets for about 2 bucks per episode (like they do now with all but the latest season of 24) they will move them on to iTunes.

eh, screw simpsons and family guy. I mean, they’re both alright shows, but Arrested Development is the best fox show ever. No contest.
And iTunes, give me BBC, and I shall buy it.
I would love to see some “Classic BBC” like Monty Python or Benny Hill, and then of course shows like The Office or Extras
(Which reminds me, they need HBO too! I need some portable Curb!)
