Down with this sort of thing

I'll be buying this immediately. The money has been resting in my account anyway.

Oh good craik..... No we just need to see the
IT Crowd, The Office (UK) and some My Hero and well be set. These should also be on the
US store, great shows.

This was/is a great show. Buy the DVD box set don't wait for iTunes...

Man, I wish this were available on iTunes Canada. Basically, all we have so far is a lot of junk!

"If you've never heard of it before, just move on to the next TUAW post and pretend this one never happened."

Or better yet, I suggest you watch the show.

"Can Apple insult the Irish anymore than they usually do ... Sorry Sabon but it may be shown on UK tv but its an Irish comedy with Irish cast."

Can you whine just a little bit louder, Jurisprudence? It's hard to hear you in the US.

I mean jeeze, Apple can only sell programs it has the rights to. They don't choose what the owners of television programs, movies or music do. They're at the content-owners mercy.

Father Ted was a BBC program, like it or not. Guess who owns the rights?

There's so much ridiculous whining on Apple sites nowadays, I'm just embarrassed to be known as an "Apple Guy." Sorry Apple hasn't cured cancer, invented teleportation and brokered world peace yet. I'm sure they're working on it. And right after that, they'll put Father Ted on the Irish iTunes store.

P.S. Black Books > Father Ted

"Buy TV Series" - go on, go on, go on, go on.

And its not on the iTunes Ireland store as we can't buy or rent shows/movies. Apple says its due to local rights holders...eh, wtf. Can Apple insult the Irish anymore than they usually do (check the prices of Apple gear here and you'll understand). Sorry Sabon but it may be shown on UK tv but its an Irish comedy with Irish cast. The only thing the British channels got right was airing it. At least they paid for it and didn't steal it. At least if Apple don't offer it on the Irish site they can't be accused of selling an Irish comedy back to the Irish at a higher price than to the British. Dermot Moran was a legend, RIP.

If they release the American verision of this and offer that to us on the ITMS instead they better leave their HQ in Cork or they will be calling the fire brigade on another factory. It'll all turn a bit Office Space.

Now, if only the iTS in the *US* would get this, and many other fine britcoms besides (Black Books! Red Dwarf! Spaced! AbFab! Classics like BlackAdder, Flying Circus, and Fawlty Towers!) I would be a happy camper. Oh yeah: DRINK! FECK! ARSE! GIRLS! NUNS...REVERSE! ;-)

I love this show. It's not quite as good as "Black Books", but it's still a great show.

I'm surprised so many Americans know about this show. And it's more of an Irish show than a UK show.
