Nothing here thrills me except Ebert & Roeper. My advice to Disney: When you launch on iTMS, you should also offer this past week's "Best of 2005" show, as well as this year's hilarious "worst of..." show.
Now if only HBO would hurry up & get started in time for Bill Maher's new season....

Ok....I could really care less about the sports but dang it....I want EARL! It's nice having NBC on ITMS but why in the world is "My Name is Earl" not available! Give me a plate of "Earl" to go with my side of "Office"!
