TV junkies, rejoice. A+E Networks is bringing many of its popular shows to the iPad across networks with A&E for iPad, History channel and Lifetime iPad apps.

Customers can watch a few full episodes plus clips from the network's shows on their iPads. The apps are free, and A+E notes that Comcast Xfinity customers will get first access to additional content, like episodes from previous seasons of select shows.

You can create a playlist of sorts and pick up where you left off, should you get interrupted.
