Is iPhone purchased iTunes video transferable?

I went to the Genius Bar with my iMac 27" and to my surprise they simply replaced it with a new one.
It wasn't until I got home I realized not all of my purchased iTunes TV shows were on my iPhone4.
For example, I've downloaded all seasons of West Wing and only season two is on my iPhone4 (and did transfer over to the new computer without a hitch- once I authorized this new computer with my iTunes account). How can I retrieve the other seasons without having to pay for them again?

I know with apps and music I simply go to 'purchased' in iTunes and I can re-download from there. Don't know how to do so with video?
Anyone who can help?

Go to the video on your iMac and pretend like you are going to purchase it. Once you press the buy button I'm pretty sure it should confirm that you have already purchased the content before and will ask if you want to re-download it. I know this works for applications as I do it all the time, but I've never had to do this for videos.

That only works for Apps.

To re-download purchased Apps, Books, Music, TV Shows, go to iTunes and click on the Purchased tab located to the right side.

This can also be done from an iPhone or iPad running iOS 4.3 or higher.
