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 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!

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. 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”.

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.

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

Oh, well. Awesome show, though. I'll be checking it out soon. I tried to get to the page for The Office, but it’s getting slammed right now. Oh, well. Awesome show, though.
