I have tried to figure out how to download the Battlestar series but all I can find is pages with info telling me that it can be done. Been all over the apple site and can not find any download interface for the series. I did sownload the iTunes program and it gives me options to download obscure individule shows but no series are offered. How do I download the Battlestar series???????????

This is an interesting development but I hope that for the average consumer Apple can integrate things easily and affordably into a home entertainment system in some other way than building a system using a rather pricey G5. With a totally integrated system, they would own home entertainment for a while with iTunes for music, movies and pay-per episode television while building something better than a TIVO. Voila, a kick ass system for your living room.

I first saw The Office original series after watching quite a few US episodes. I just didn’t like it. For one, it is a bit hard to understand the accent, especially when I was watching it in bed with the volume low after my girlfriend had gone to sleep. For another, most Americans don’t get half the British references.

Anyhoo, we’re getting off track. If watching downloaded videos was a bit more integrated with our TV/stereo, I’d probably buy episodes of old shows like Dragnet, Adam 12, and Emergency!

Other than the Office, I don’t see a whole lot of “pull” yet. It might help Apple if they grab Fox and “Family Guy”. That show is huge, and is within the demographic that iTunes has (males between 18 and 25). That will definitely get downloads. In fact, I remember that Conan was making jokes about NBC losing in the ratings. That’s probably why NBC is trying to get some money in this market. Since they don’t have Friends anymore, they’re probably hurting… a lot.

If you guy’s haven’t seen the original Office, I highly recommend checking it out. The episodes are exactly the same, line for line, in most cases — but those Brits pull off their special brand of humour that one just doesn’t get with the NBC version.

Yeah, the Office is going to put a huge spike in # of downloads for sure. Can’t wait to see some numbers in January.
