For the record, I used to be very liberal but since starting to watch the Daily Show I have moved much closer to the center. I don't know if there is necessarily a connection but it is definitely not pushing a liberal agenda.
I'm most excited about Dora the Explorer - we can now drop digital cable (hence lose Noggin) without feeling guilty about losing my 3yr old's favourite TV show. Turns out Noggin was the only channel in the digital lineup we ever actually watched.
And 26 episodes for $30! A DVD (albeit of higher quality, but that makes no difference to a 3 yr old) containing three episodes costs upwards of $15.

I too am looking forward to deleting a bunch of Dora episodes which are not yet on DVD from the TiVo! [BTW I have usually found that you can usually get most Nick Jr DVDs at Costco for < $10, which works out close to $2.50/episode on DVD.]plinden said:
Noggin's nice since they still don't have too much blatant advertising. My 4 year old used to love "Play with me Sesame," but the 2 year old never got into it. OTOH, I'm very disappointed with the new "Sprout" channel that replaced PBS Kids, as they break up the shows into smaller segments and intersperse lots of "intro"/transitional material that doesn't catch their attention between the segments. They really get bombarded with commercials once they start watching Nick, so I generally try to have them watch their TV commercial free on DVD whereever possible.
I hope Diego's not too far behind on iTMS, 'cause my boys really enjoy that one too. (the first Diego DVD is due out next month).

Sorry if this was already said, only read 2 pages. But it's not that weird that MTV would be on here just because they have a competing store. They can still make more money. They've put unplugged stuff on there before too.
Sony has stuff on iTunes also, even exclusive stuff (Audioslave for example) even though they have their Connect store.

I'm the last person to argue FOR something costing more, but if you think about it, how many times are you going to watch a Lost episode ? And how many times will you watch an SNL skit (a good one at least) and show it to friends on the iPod on-the-go or on the computer/tv at home ?
You're just going to watch SNL/Conan sketches and music videos more often than hour long tv episodes.
Daily Show Missing
Hard to understand why Daily Show is Missing In Action.From Win to Mac said:
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 can’t 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.
YES!! Robotech would be awesome!
It would be awesome to see Thundar The Barbarian, Go-Bots, AirWolf, Battle of the Planets, Gundam, and of course Speed Racer.
If iTMS started getting BBC material, it would also be cool to have Red Dwarf. I think it's only a matter of time before Apple integrates some sort of international video section within its respective international markets.
I'm impressed that some Nicktoons were added-now I'd like to see Rugrats and Invader ZIM on there.
What about The WB?
I wonder when Paramont is going to release shows that air on The WB. Apple needs WB shows on the ITMS. There are shows on that channel that I'm missing right now , that I could find on other networks last season. Dish Network doesn't carry The WB. I don't really want to use BitTorrent cause Paramount is really into cracking down on copyright infringment right now.

~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.
thanks for the response. even though that's not what i meant to ask. it's still interesting to me though. at first i never watched the new series "smallville", but once i started watching, it's now my favorite show. i just watched a new one tonight. i wonder how many seasons they will make?
SiliconAddict said:oooo Smallville. I've been out of the loop on that for a while. I started off NetFlixing (Blockbuster style.) the various seasons. When I hit the DVD wall I downloaded off of bittorrent. But that only took me up til I have no idea what season it was but it was when Clark was scouting out colleges. If Apple could get EVERYTHING I would be a very happy camper.
it's in the 5th season now. and he's in college

me too. i'm impressed with "smallville". i just can't wait til he starts flying!
In all seriousness why has Apple not bothered to even make a token gesture in other countries, old comedy shows (e.g. the munsters) can't be subject to the restrictions of modern stuff. Pixar shorts (what a joke paying for those) and music videos (limited selection) only means there is little incentive to buy the video ipod outside of the US.Kelmon said:

Actually that's not true. Just because content is old doesn't mean it isn't subject to licensing laws, national or international. A prime example actually is the Munsters, which is copyrighted by Universal Studios.
