Apple continues their practice of quietly adding TV shows to their iTunes Store.
Newly added shows include “Schoolhouse Rock” (ABC), Saved By the Bell” (NBC), and “The Biggest Loser” (NBC).
In addition, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue videos are also now available.

When in the UK???? me want video… and south park…
U.K. Content Please! Come on Apple! Don’t leave us out of the Video fun!
I suspect that the lack of video content in places outside the US is a result of the networks prohibitions, not because of Apple.
Questions for UK users of iTunes. Would it be possible for you to log-on the iTunes (US) site and d/l files on an account prepaid by someone in the US (with a US credit card) on your behalf? Can you even d/l iTunes US version?
I’d love to see episodes of “24” be available for purchase on itunes. There is a waiting list at my local blockbuster for the DVD’s of past seasons. I’d buy them in a heartbeat if i could download them. I wonder if Fox will ever sign on?
Since_IIci
It used to be possible via a Paypal virtual credit card. Not sure about now though.
yeah its probably all cause of distribution rights overseas but still, VIDEO CONTENT IN UK, apple, im waiting to empty my piggy bank into your pocket lol
I tried to “gift” an episode of LOST to a friend of mime. He has a Canadian accout and after downloading it he was prevented from viewing as the DRM required a US iTMS account.
I just wish they would get more content in Music Video. The country list is quite limited.
The Biggest Loser was already there. It was added last week. And it’s actually just the workout videos, not the actual TV show.
Looks like ITMS is making great strides in becoming a vast wasteland.
Why do they always say “quietly”? What do they want Steve to roll out on stage and do a one hour demo every time they add some new programming to iTunes.
I can just see him now…
Steve clicks up the next item.. “here is one of my favorites. I’m just a Bill, yes I’m only a Bill (sits and watches for 3 minutes). Isn’t that great!?”
It’s like they have some sort of conspiracy theory about Apple or something, like they are trying to be deceptive about it.
Macromancer: “I’m just a Bill.”
Loved that stuff as a kid. I can still sing the Preamble! Everybody sing: “We the people . . .”
The anachronism “Schoolhouse” will need to be updated to “Schoolfort”.
The original working title for The Biggest Loser was Big, Fat Idiot Dumb Enough To Be Humiliated On National Television but it didn’t roll off the tongue so they shortened it. Next season they’re going to combine Survivor with Biggest Loser. Extremely obese contestants will be chased by wild animals in the jungles of Indonesia. Participants will be penalized for eating their stalkers. Hormel, Kraft, and the Discovery Channel are slated to be sponsors.
Ampar — Dude, not funny.
“The Biggest Loser” was actually added to the ITMS last week when Apple started selling Showtime shows. I am surprised no one caught that last week.
We need more country music and rap videos. I’m just not depressed and angry enough.
Why oh why oh WHY don’t they add soaps?
i want the A-team, black-hawk, knightrider, million dollar man, awesome!!!!
Cool. I have an Ampar copycat. Ironically, the nick is a tribute to an infamous, long dead PC troll over at TMO.
P.S. If they’re going to add soap operas, they should consider Dark Shadows (the original series).
Schoolhouse Rock? Where’s my credit card?
I’m one huge Blossom Dearie (“Unpack My Adjectives”, among many many others) fan.

Oh please, Facts of Life.
