NBC has added some of their lineup to the iTunes Music, er, Music and Video Store. (When are they going to change the name of that store anyway?) You'll be able to get Law and Order, The Office, etc. Interesting that they're also providing some of their older shows... in the case of Dragnet, some of their super-older shows.
This kind of agreement, by the way, does call into question whether Apple will provide a DVR of their own. NBC was one of those groups that were not pleased with TiVo's recent announcement that they will allow TiVoToGo to work with PSPs and iPods. They want you to pay to watch their shows. They'd probably love it if they could make you pay when you think about one of their shows. If Apple lets you record the shows on their DVR and transfer it to your iPod, why would you pay for it? Hm, very interesting.
