All Stargate SG-1 episodes now available on iTunes
Last night I received an e-mail from Apple notifying me that all seasons of the great sci-fi series “Stargate SG-1” can now be purchased at the iTunes Store. Upon visiting the store, I noticed that all the episodes of its spin-off, “Stargate Atlantis” also appear to be available.
Although many Sci-Fi Network shows (like “Battlestar Galactica”) were pulled from the iTunes store in early December as a result of the Apple-NBC Universal squabble, the Stargate series is produced by MGM Television Entertainment, which is owned by Sony and thus outside of NBC Universal’s control.
I’d still prefer that Apple and Universal kiss and make up. I believe that eventually they will, despite the existence of Hulu and other alternatives. If Apple succeeds in becoming the premier provider of video downloads over the next year or so, the pressure will be on Universal to bring its content back to iTunes.
Stargate Atlantis Programming Note: Do you think Dr. Elizabeth Weir is now leading an evil collection of Super Replicators?

I find it hard to understand why people want to watch television shows on a tiny phone screen.

YOu may not understand why people want to look at TV on their tiny devices, I mean, I do not either. Just tell yourself something, there are 325 million americans, we are over 6 billion on the planet... Guess what, most TV show you take for granted in the USA are not shown in other countries... why, the DAM Majors who like to control what people can see and hear. When you hear of kids downloading off the internet, it's not in the US, you guys get that for free for crying outloud. It's people from other countries who want the same great show who are downloading. This has to stop. The Majors must have a new business model.
