Classic Universal Dramas Coming to iTunes

Wednesday, December 07, 2005

First ABC & Apple announced Desperate Housewives and Lost on iTunes now, classic Universal dramas are among the new shows coming to iTunes! You can buy episodes of many TV series on iTunes for $1.99 per episode. Now you can enjoy Knight Rider, Adam-12, Dragnet, Alfred Hitchcock Presents and many more at your own lesiure. Current NBC series are now also available including Law & Order and The Office. Let's hope we get some classic Universal sitcoms, too! Click here to read the full story.

While that is good, what we are really looking forward to here at SitcomsOnline is In2TV -- which of course is six new TV channels coming to AOL.com featuring over 30 classic Warner Bros. owned series, such as Perfect Strangers and Lois & Clark. We hope to have more information on it, such as the launch date and what episodes of each series.

And finally, as you all probably noticed we will not continue our Sony TV DVD news this week. We also removed the last two news items from this week, as Sony did not want us posting far in advance. The two we posted were not that far in advance so you will indeed have official news very soon. Sorry we can't bring you the rest of the shows, but we can all of course wait for the official announcements in the coming weeks.
