What a Blast!
yea, I know that’s old, but I fart dust ok?
Now bring on I Dream of Jeannie!!!
yummmy master Biong!
I was at Target yesterday and they had DVDs of old tv shows with 4 episodes for a dollar, including Dragent, which is now 2 bucks an episode from iTMS. They have many moves in a $5.50 section, some of them actually pretty good, that are not that old… I’m afraid when movies are available one day, they will all be $20, even the crap.
BTW – music should be variable priced, with 1 dollar for the newest, most popular music, going down in price from there… How many new and older CDs can you find in retail for less than $10… many if you open your eyes.
iTMS should be the least expensive outlet in theory, so price the content that way…. and I know it is probably not Apple’s fault directly but I still want to complain about it.
Yeee Haaaaaaaaw!!! Now I can watch the Beverly Hillbillies and Andy Griffith, and other crap until I vomit.

Great starting selection with some real TV classics! Wonderful for those of us who can’t just go down to the Wal-Mart (or the Ito-Yokado, for that matter) and pick up a DVD of The Dick Van Dyke Show. The video encoding seems OK (nothing is too terribly great at the iPod’s resolution, but at least this doesn’t seem to be from a videotape), sound is fine. One problem is download time — an hour and fifty minutes for a 23 minute program. On iTunes the same size file takes about ten minutes.

to quote Jobs “people watch tv to turn their brains off”
there’s a war/invasion going on, but everyone’s excited about being able to watch goober, jethro & the beaver.
what can you say about a country where someone who can hit a fast ball has more stature than a brain surgeon & aruba gets more coverage than the iraq war?
