The latest rumor (which fits what facts I know) is that NBC has pulled out of iTunes, because they didn't like the price structure -- NBC wants to be able to charge $4.99 per episode for downloading their shows. I'm pretty appalled. Granted, that's about as much as HBO charges for DVDs of *their* best shows. But NBC has missed two salients facts: (1) they're not selling DVDs, and (2) none of their shows are anywhere near as good as HBO's best. (Sorry: I do love Heroes, but Rome's just a better show.)
So -- let's see what folks think. Poll time! This is intended for people who watch at least a modest amount of TV.
