PBS shows available on iTunes Store

I'd use iTMS, or preferably the torrents, for Clifford, Sesame St, or Curious George. I hate having to own a TV so my girls can watch their shows. Why no kiddie shows online? They're paid for and non-profit.

The only thing my tax dollars are doing to PBS is to censor it and force a conservative agenda onto it.

$8 is fine for quality programming, if it keeps PBS away from Kenneth Tomlinson and his ilk.

FYI you can see many shows for free on pbs.org. Don't pay again for what your tax dollars have already paid. You could probably even download them with some of the many tools out there for that.

BTW some of the shows on Itunes now have ads in the beginning.

Why in the world would Nova episodes be $7.99? Ludicrous. Are these in high-def? Do I get a free tote bag when I purchase an episode? When did PBS (you know, PUBLIC Broadcasting Service) become a profit-monger?

Either this is a mistake, or it's the beginning of some VERY distasteful iTunes TV pricing. I can picture it now:

Lost: This week's episode, $5.99. Last week's episode: $3.99. Any other episode from this season: $2.99. Last season's episodes or prior: $1.99.

(shudder)

Just as long as they keep Frontline free on their website...

It may be that Nova is more expensive because educators often buy specific shows to use in their classrooms. Single episodes of Nova cost $19.95 on VHS or DVD. $7.99 keeps it at the premium price. It prevents teachers from just dropping $1.99 for something for their classroom.

what about electric company or zoom....I'd buy that for a dollar.

Interesting - the Nova episodes I looked at showed up at $7.99. I haven't upgraded to iTunes 7.0.1 yet...
