You don't have to pay to watch a TV show, you don't have to pay a fee to record or Tivo a show, so why pay to download one? Because it's on demand? It just doesn't seem like it will ever catch on and take a major foothold. I just don’t see “buying” television shows episode by episode as being successful in the marketplace for any period of time.

I also figure google will be bigger than MS in 3-5 years and if they buy a weapons plant or Boeing they will consume GE. don't laugh seriously, I have never used itunes and the more I see and hear steve jobs the more ihate appleanything.

I never use itunes except to put music on my mp3 and to rip cd's that I own. I know tons of people that do use it though. itunes is the main reason The Office wasn't canceled after the first season. The word of mouth it got there was so big that the fan base grew very quickly. Before reading about the change to Amazon I didn't even know they offered such a service. Just found this link about the pricing NBC wanted. http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2007/08/31itunes.html If NBC got their way you would be able to download the full 30 episode season of The Office for only $149.70. I love the show and to do my part in keeping it alive and running I spent $50 on the gift set this week. $149.70 would be pushing it. Not sure how I feel about this.
