NBC nearly blew our mind this morning when we headed to iTunes and noticed that a couple shows had episodes for download - including two seasons of Law & Order! It looks like NBC is dipping L&O's toes, with only the first (but great) season with Michael Moriarity, Richard Brooks, George Dzunda, and Chris Noth and the current season available for download. NBC, hurry up with the other seasons - we want our Jerry!
We also love the L&O descriptions on iTunes (click image below to expand...but the full descriptions are on iTunes). It's like a walk through tabloid covers past.
And Late Night with Conan O'Brien is also available for download.

but we can watch the reruns for free!!
yes, but not on the subway.
2 bucks is too damn much for DRM based TV shows. You can rent a DVD of a TV show, rip it, encode it and get it on your iPod if you must without any nasty DRM.
- yes for free, but you have to find what time it is on, and hope it's an episode you even want to see.
- it's the price of convience. yes, I have Knight Rider on DVD - but what is worth more to me, the hours it will take to encode them to digital (billing at my standard freelance rate) or just buy them in digital form.
My time is worth something, and it's worth more than $30 a season.
and old shows should be $.99. Seems silly to charge the same as new content. And I'm not buying the whole season of KR on it, just making a for instance.
....I can see the end of Gothamist now...
Jen & Jake, too preoccupied with downloading and vieiwing every L&O ever made, begin to neglect the site, stop posting and end up in a L&O stupor never before seen...
best gift for your girlfriend ever....
Never fear mickster, there will always be a small silent minority of Gothamisters who not only don't like L&O but in fact can't stand it or any of its procedural brethren. Not that any of us would ever admit to such an enormous lapse in Gothamistaste. At least not publicly...
I don't think watching TV on the small ipod screen is a good idea. Anyhow the DVDs are a better value for money.
Law & Order and its spinoffs are some of the better shows on TV, plus they are all filmed on location. I hate these shows that try to pass LA or Toronto off as NYC, since if they are not done well it can be distracting. One of the reasons I dislike CSI: NY is that it is mainly filmed in LA, another is that it is highly inaccurate.
