Too bad the quality of the iTunes TV shows suck. At least if you try to watch them on anything other then a tiny iPod screen.yellow5 said:Especially when my display is larger & of a higher quality than my TV!

arn said:this makes sense to me. I think all pilot episodes should be free. You want to hook viewers. I recently saw the pilot of Love Monkey, which I liked and told my friends to watch it... but there wasn't an easy way for people to watch the pilot if they missed it.
(Love Monkey, btw, has now been canceled after 3 episodes, which makes little sense)
ehurtley said:So the individual download links work fine, but the 'GET SEASON' button is broken.
As for the ESPN ads? They're not that funny... (Oh well, they're free. I've got every other free iTunes download...)
no they have always been free, i downloaded all of them over a week ago.yellow5 said:This is because they update the store around 12:00-1:00 AM Tuesday morning Eastern Time.
So the content is just being added and it usually takes a while before the whole store is updated.
EDIT: I just noticed the ESPN SportsCenter Ads are now FREE.. They have been available, but they cost $1.99
Check em out.

I totally agree with arn. Love Monkey is the one show I also got hooked on after seeing the pilot. I am sort of sad to see it go as it really promoted new artists as well.arn said:this makes sense to me. I think all pilot episodes should be free. You want to hook viewers.

Is his name really that obscene?
Macrumors said:Apple/Sci-Fi previously offered a half-hour Battlestar Galactica special for free to catch viewers up on the show before the winter season. Meanwhile, CBS and Yahoo similarly offered free streams of Two and a Half Men and How I Met Your Mother in late December/early January to drive interest.
nbs2 said:My only disappointment with this being free is that it looks like crap. I'm sorry but I'm sick of another legal drama. I get enough of that crap at school. I can't even take L&O anymore...ugh....I know that if I can't say anything nice, I shouldn't say anything....but I really am annoyed by this.
I didn't know that show had been cancelled. I happened to catch it and told a bunch of my friends to watch it too. I know a few of them started watching it.arn said:this makes sense to me.

Porchland said:Clever show. Considering the ratings of shows like "Scrubs" and "Arrested Development" (cancelled) clever humor is apparently a fatal flaw.

Yeah, clever humor is apparently lost on the American masses. Anyone remember Sports Night?
My theory on Scrubs is the Soprano theory. Network programming moves the show around so much that people loose track. I think it's great that Scrubs was off the schedule for a while since we got to see two new episodes a week for a while.
I think the success of clever shows like Nothern Exposure is the exception. These days, the show really has to be a hit right away to avoid cancellation. The networks don't give a show time to develop and build an audience. In the current market, a show like The X-Files would have been cancelled at mid-season and the network would have lost millions in the long run.

Um, I'm not good at catching stuff...that free episode still up?Super Dave said:Don't forget Monk! Apple's free episode of Monk was what got me hooked on the series!
