NBC "In talks" with Apple

theres no telling how much i would pay for arrested development on my ipod. If Apple does not lock that down they will be making the biggest little mistake of their lives.

Yes, iTunes needs Arrested Development!

I don't have cable TV at home (I'm a college student--if asked to choose between broadband internet and basic cable, I will take broadband every time), and while I sporadically go out on the web to keep caught up on the Daily Show and Family Guy, but ordinarily, I just wait for the DVD release. I think iTunes is going to have to figure out how to negotiate the difference between weekly and daily shows on the store. For example, $1.99 for each episode of the Daily Show (and I would definitely buy it and watch it), suddenly becomes $32 a month--if I watched some other show as well (like family guy or something), that's nearly as much as basic cable in my area. I think $.99 is a more reasonable price point for nightly shows. I'd also like to have a "Subscribe" sort of option on TV shows--like, I could subscribe to House for a season, and then just have it delivered to my laptop when it's released on the store. I'm also with Tony above about classic TV and Big Games--most of my favorite shows fall into the category of "Cancelled" (Firefly, DS9, Homicide) or "Once Great" (The Simpsons)-if I could buy selective episodes of Homicide and the Simpsons, I'd do it and never regret it.

I hope for Monk and subtitle. :[

Remember that NBC also owns SciFi. I'm sure Apple would prefer *Battlestar Galactica* over *Joey* as an iTunes Store offering. Then again, who wouldn't want Drea DeMatteo in their pants, so to speak? Where's the BBC with *Doctor Who*? Are they seriously that asleep-at-the-wheel?

I do not watch TV, period. My lifestyle and 2 young kids do not allow it. However, I would most definitely download episodes of 'Arrested Development' or BBCs "The Office' or 'The American Experience'. Yes, I would do it in a heartbeat. This could be big....real big.

There really are a world of possibilities here. Let's imagine, shall we? "The Sopranos" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" while you work. MLB.TV and the NFL network getting on board and delivering your favorite games to your iPod through iTunes. Yes, "Family Guy" (I am so with you on that one!!). Major news networks offering interviews for posterity. Classic TV (all 6 episodes of "Poilce Squad" for $9.99?) I personally would download a copy of "Breaking Bonaducci" and purposely delete it for the sheer satisfaction of knowing I destroyed it.

You're looking at huge file sizes when you up the rez. It'd be nice to have a choice: low rez for the ipod people and the non-videophiles, and high rez for people who want to view it larger, play with it, pet it, etc. So far the only gaf I've noticed with the ITMS shows are that the tv shows are much louder than the videos. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

What I'd like to see is the televisual boundaries brought down. Being a UKer I'd like to be able to buy US shows from whats being aired at the moment. Take for instance Threshold, I like that show. But we cant get it in the UK just yet. I'd love to be able to download this from Apple and watch it when I like. To me $1.99 is a absolute bargain and if I can do it without having to trawl through torrents and stuff...thats cool too. Higher resolutions would be nice, but I'm sure that will come in time and as the format develops further.

I'd love to have the new series of 24 come to iTMS. That would be awesome!
