What new shows are you buying?

Not planning on buying these shows. Way to expensive for old content. If I missed some show on TV, use BT and encode to iPod for free!

I would love to see a few of these favs: Get Smart Star Trek The Honeymooners The Three Stooges Everybody Loves Raymond I love Lucy Bewitched Fresh Prince Looney Tunes (Can't Leave Them Out!!) The Marx Brothers Larol & Hardy I think that's all of them, sorry for the order though. Just did it off the top of my head. ***JMac***

I wish they make this show available: The Lawless Years This was a great series produced by NBC owned California National Productions. It starred James Gregory as a real NYC cop from the 30's, Barney Ruditsky.

I'd buy episodes of The Mighty Boosh if they were available. Wonder if any BBC content is coming?

I want: ER SEINFELD SATURDAY NIGH LIVE Entire episode of JayLeno Law and Order: SVU Crossing Jordan.

- Come on VIACOM! - Say it with me, "the Daily Show" I know it's been expressed here (by me AND SEVERAL OTHERS), but I would think the Daily Show could easily become the iTunes Music Stores Best Selling Show. a) its popularity b) it short "bits" lend itself to being watched in places we watch videos on our iPod (waiting in line, on the subway, ect.) c) it is the kind of show I can just listen to and still get 70-80% of the jokes, so I can "watch" it while driving or walking when actually seeing the screen isn't going to work out... However, I am not going to pay $1.99 for a show that is on 20 times a month. especially if that show has "time sensitive" content (most of the jokes are relevant to THAT DAY'S headlines) and is posted at the end of the day AFTER is it broadcast on Cable. I would gladly subscribe to a paid VodCast of the Daily Show, or "suffer" through commercials for a free version of it. As long as I didn't have to go to the iTMS every day and purchase it "manually"... Other shows/movies, if there is a DVD I will buy that and convert. It'd rather have one I can easily watch on my TV and Computer and then my iPod if I go through the trouble to convert it, than a copy that only really shines on my iPod, looks "sub-par" on my TV and Computer and are a little harder to hook up to my TV. Worse still would be buying something on DVD AND from the iTMS, thats just lazy ;) That being said I am probably done buying DVDs for a while, until the new HD formats are settled and widely available...

Not buying anything. TV content is 99% crap, and a waste of time.

Prices: I commented on the initial iTMS posting but I will comment here again. These videos are in iPod resolution right? Just looking at that alone, why are they priced the same as an original DVD? Obviously you aren't getting the physical package, the extras, the resolution options, subtitles, languages, etc. I have the same problem with audio books. If a real book costs $20, why on earth would the *audio* book cost $20? If consumers respond to this pricing of COURSE it will stick, but it is INSANE. I'm an American living in China and perhaps my perspective is skewed because of that but I can buy DVDs here for $0.75 per disc... regardless of what it is. Before I came here I owned ~ 6 DVDs at the $15-20 price we have in the US. They were just too expensive to *own*. Since coming here I have purchased about 650 DVDs at this price. I think that the US is no different and that these companies just don't get it. In China legal and legitimate DVDs are only about $2 each... Authentic CDs are about $2 as well. Obviously the media companies had to do this because China has a huge piracy issue... but without this kind of price point NO ONE would buy a real one. However, I personally believe that if DVDs sold for closer to this in the US they would fly off the shelves and rental services would become obsolete... *and* the studios would make even more money than they do now at $15-20. A whole season of Seinfeld costs you guys $35 and it costs me $5. I own every episode of every show I have ever loved and I can still afford to eat! So my point is, regardless of convenience, Conan is not worth $10 for a one hour show. It is insane... I wouldn't pay more than $0.99 for it at 320x240. Maybe that's just me. If consumers don't start understanding these downloadable media files as inferior to their physical counterparts, they are going to get fleeced by these media companies who would sell you an hour of Conan for $30 if they thought you would pay it. Don't buy!

Daily Show and Colbert Report.

Surface for sure. I saw that show for the first time last week, and I have a new addiction (as if Lost, Arrested Development, Desperate Housewives, and Family Guy weren't enough...). However, they need to do something about the 3rd episode - it's cut short about 10 minutes.
