~Shard~ said:An excellent question, glad you asked. Hopefully I may be of some assistance in answering this complicated question for you:
The actual location of Smallville, like those of other fictional DC Universe cities, originally was never specifically stated in the comics.
Smallville's location varied widely throughout many stories, most of which placed Smallville close to Metropolis and Midvale, home of Supergirl. All-New Collectors' Edition #C-55 (notable for featuring the wedding of Legion of Super-Heroes members Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl and published in 1978) calls Smallville "a quiet town, nestled in the hills just inland from the eastern seaboard." In Amazing World of DC Comics #14 (1977), a magazine with articles on DC Comics characters and series, Smallville was stated to be in Maryland. The Maryland location was supported in the actual comics with a map of Smallville and the surrounding area that was published in New Adventures of Superboy #22 (October 1981), which situated Smallville a few miles west of a large bay very similar to Delaware Bay (the same map placed Metropolis and Gotham City on the east and west sides of the bay, respectively). Smallville was first placed in Kansas in the 1970s and 1980s Superman movies. Superman writer Elliot S! Maggin incorporated the Kansas location into the DC Universe in his 1981 Superman novel, Miracle Monday. Comic writer and artist John Byrne also placed Smallville in Kansas in his 1986 rewrite of Superman's origin.
In issue #13 of the Superman/Batman series (2004), Smallville is mentioned as being adjacent to the (equally fictional) town of Granville, Kansas. The name "Granville" comes from the 2000s television series Smallville; Smallville is filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, which was called Granville until it was renamed in 1886, and Granville Street (a major arterial road in the city) as well as Granville Island (a small, man-made island and tourist attraction) still retain the name.
I hope this answer is acceptable for you.
Glad to see there is another Superman fan out here besides my self

Then give me a highlight episode from every week! Cram in the best of the week into a 30 minute or 40 minute show, and then create one with just the interviews.

Edit: Darn you ~Shard~!
Oh, you'll have to do much better than that to upstage me...
SiliconAddict said:Transformers, Voltron, COPS, Bionic 6, Thundercats, Silverhawks, The Real Ghostbusters, MASK, G.I Joe, Chip & Dale's Rescue Rangers, Ducktales, DarkWing Duck, Danger Mouse, Tailspin, Mysterious Cities of Gold, Garfield and Friends, He-Man (Gah I almost typed He-Mac), You cant do that on telivision, Dungeons and Dragons, Count Duckula, and of course Robotech.
That's off the top of my head. Apple could pay for a month of bandwidth if they put this out. I'd take out a second mortgage and buy em all.
Yeah, I'll add my drool to that list as well. Wow. Yeah, I'd be downloading sooo many of those shows. Throw Adult Swim in there as well (specifically Harvey Birdman) and I'd be all over that like white on rice.
CubaTBird said:QUESTION... with music, for example.. if you wanted to buy dylans greatest hits when the itunes music store first opened, you were able.. today, some years later YOU STILL ARE.. my question is, aren't tv shows volatile? i mean once the shows stop airing new episodes on tv, what's the motivation to keep them on itunes? wouldn't new shows need to fill their spots?
They have older shows on iTunes right now. Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Dragnet, A-Team, etc.
And thanks to Telecoms version of 'fast' broadband @256kbps internet they would take all night to download the filesErikGrim said:
meh
I still don't see why people are so enthused about buying tv shows....I guess if you have a Video iPod and no cable tv then.....
But this doesn't interest me in the slightest.
*edit* check that, I am interested in the old shows like the A-Team...that's cool..

It's only a matter of time. Just like with the music store. I think Apple is approaching a critical size in the US with TV shows and that they will likely soon look into foreign markets..... or maybe in about 6 months-1 year. Hard to say.

Hello Apple??? Didn't you forget one more thing? What about the fricking closed caption?!

Oh yeah, good point. I don't think I'd really be up for paying $1 or $2 every weekday just for a 30 min episode.MacSlut said:
Oh, and just another thought I had... Apple should create their own currency for iTMS that allows everybody to buy prepaid cards for the entire data base no matter where they live. Just pay $20 USD for a prepaid 20 point iTMS card, or 15 Euros (don't know what the exact exchange rate is) for the same 20 point card, and so on.
i like that they have all of these seasons available for download, but i think the price is still really high for what you're getting!
south park season one...
iTunes: $24.99
DVD: $29.88
DVD is by far better quality and you can use certain softwares to get the DVD video onto your ipod...for free. with the iTunes version you're stuck with crappy quality, small resolution, and basically stuck to your ipod.
who watches the daily show!?!? it was funny back when they actually made fun of stuff. now they're just out to push a huge liberal agenda.

How much is your time worth? Ripping DVD's (illegal, but probably not that big of a deal if you own it) is a huge pain in the *ss. Especially multi-episode DVD's like South Park, Simpsons, etc.
NokX said:
Judging from the responses every time new shows are added to ITMS, I'd say a lot of people. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean nobody does. Besides "liberal agenda" and expressions like that basically just tell everyone who reads your comments that it's you that has an agenda.
NokX said:
They've always primarily made fun of the government, the political process, and the traditional news media. These institutions are so thoroughly dominated by conservatives right now, that making fun of them (which usually involves making them look stupid) is bound to look like a liberal agenda. Besides, they're on the same channel as South Park. They know their target audience ain't the religious right, and being a little left of center likely makes good business sense for them.
That said, I certainly wouldn't pay $1.99 an episode to watch it at 320x240 when I can record it on the DVR.
South Park!! Beavis and Butthead!!!
No matter how much I enjoy the new stuff, where's the Fox stuff like Family Guy, Simpsons, Futurama, King of the Hill, or the ever elusive 24?

Of course, you don't need to rip the DVD unless you WANT to watch it on an iPod. You can just insert the DVD into the computer to watch it there, or put it in your DVD player to watch it on your television. To watch the iTMS video on TV requires an A/V cable from your computer or your iPod - Apple will want another $20 for either one. And it's still 1/4 the resolution of standard definition TV.
If the videos were (at least) 640x480 on the computer and just got scaled down for transfer to the iPod, AND a device like EyeHome could play them on my TV (or a 3rd party DRM removal tool could convert them to plain MPEG-4 files), I'd be willing to pay $1.99 for them. As it stands now, I'll get whatever video content is available free, but I won't buy any.
ShavenYak said:
I'd buy if the resolution was 640x480, but that would only make sense if Apple came out with their rumored set-top box thing. Personally, I'm not interested in watching content on an iPod except on very rare occasions (like on a flight).
The thing is, what happens if Apple does come out with a set-top box or DVR and the resolution does improve? Are they going to let people 'upgrade' their downloads for free, or do they have to buy it again. I'm guessing the latter.
ShavenYak said:
True. If home viewing is your main objective, the DVD's are a much better deal. You have to wait for them to come out at the end of the season, but the quality is undeniably better. However, for on-the-go viewing, the download option is much better, IMHO.

Sitting on Warner Brothers' launching pad with:
"ER"
"Without a Trace"
"Gilmore Girls"
"Veronica Mars"
"The Ellen Degeneres Show"
"Nip/Tuck"
"Two and a Half Men"
"One Tree Hill"
"The OC"
"Friends"
"Dallas"
"Lois & Clark"
"Dukes of Hazzard"
As far as TV goes, the WB is going to be a major haul for Apple.

I will just sit here waiting longer and longer for my favorite TV show. Fox wants to do it, and they had 35 MILLION veiwers during the premiere. The day 24 comes to iTMS, is the day i get an ipod video, and the day i start regularly buying shows.
