Entertainment Weekly disses KR... BOO!
Each week Entertainment Weekly publishes a "thermometer" showing what's hot and what's not in pop culture. In the December 16 issue, one of things they list as not hot is this:
"NBC becomes biggest supplier of shows for download on Apple's iTunes. Knight Rider fans rejoice."
I can appreciate clever slams at fans (think of the famous Saturday Night Live sketch with William Shatner at a Trek convention telling everyone to "get a life!") but this entry doesn't even make sense. This same issue has a 4-page article covering the revolution of downloadable TV shows. If they're calling it a revolution, then clearly the NBC deal is at the top of pop culture.
Sorry EW. You blew it.

Hahahaha, leave it to Pajaro to have a legitimate argument to what at first sounds like a fanboy complaint. I love ya man, ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
It's a fantastic point, they clearly contradicted themselves in that magazine.

Michael: "KITT! Where are ya?!"
K.I.T.T.: "I'm in your parking space, Michael, where else would I be?"

We know they don't know what they are talking about. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
I am disappointed however, that they only have the first season for download. You'd think that since Season 3 is almost here, that they'd have Season 2 at least, as well.
I have seen other old shows I like in iTunes though. I'm thinking about this. It'll be nice to see some of these old TV shows again. I hope they add more, too.

Maybe they are releasing S1 to see how it sells on iTunes before they go all out and release the other seasons.
