For anybody who doesn't know about the NBC/Itunes conflict, here it is. NBC wanted to price its shows a bit higher and Itunes wouldn't let them, so they didn't renew their contract which ran out this month. During this fall, they kept a limited selection on Itunes. They also put new episodes on Amazon Unbox for $2. Now there is barely anyhting of NBC's on Itunes. NBC did this because they opened a service called "NBC Direct". Here are the high points-
- You can download an episode onto your PC for 1 week
- It's FREE
- There are unskippable commercials (The reason for NBC Direct-MONEY)
- At the moment, you don't pay for anything
I haven't tried it but i'm just putting this out there for people who are wondering about it. Also, i found these NBC shows still on itunes-
- Scrubs (Seasons 4-7)
- Chuck (Season 1)
- My Name is Earl (Seasons 1-3)
- Journeyman (Season 1)
The problem is, there is not a NBC link under TV Shows.

I don't know about Chuck, My Name is Earl, and Journeyman, but I know that Scrubs is still on because NBC doesn't produce it. It is produced by an ABC studio but it is shown on NBC. Since it is by ABC, and ABC isn't having any conflicts, Scrubs can stay on Itunes.
