According to Digg.Com, Apple has gained contracts to sell episodes of Law & Order, Monk, and Battlestar Galactica in addition to many other NBC, Sci Fi, and USA channel programs, for the same $1.99 price they were offering LOST and DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES for. I must say while I do not yet have a video iPod, this is making me think now is the time to invest in one. While I have NO interest in D.W., and little in lost, I would probably pay $1.99 to watch a MONK or Law & Order episode I missed. Especially if I can bring it with me, when I travel.
Of course, it is still much lower quality (size-wise) and more expensive than just recording it myself off of TV with my EyeTV unit.
UPDATE 8:44 AM EST: It has just been brought to my attention that I should make it clear that these programs are not just for the video iPod. If you own a computer than can run iTunes (i.e. any MacOS X or Windows 2000 or XP computer) then you can purchase these shows via th iTunes Music Store and play them on your computer using iTunes. This could well be a good way for folks with laptops to view their favorite TV shows while on the road, even if they do not own an iPod.
