Best thing about the just-released iTunes 8? HD versions of TV shows. To help kick things off, Apple is offering one free HD episode from each of a dozen shows (some of which are actually worth watching!). I've rounded up the links for you; just make sure you have iTunes 8 installed.
- 30 Rock (welcome back, NBC!)
- Battlestar Galactica (the dazzling Season 4 opener)
- Eureka
- Heroes (Season 2--meh)
- In Plain Sight
- Lipstick Jungle
- Monk (I've never seen a single episode--any good?)
- The Office (strong as ever in its fourth season, which is amazing)
- Psych
- Life
- The Rachel Zoe Project (never heard of it)
- Top Design
I'm loving this. I've wanted to check out shows like Eureka, In Plain Sight, and Life, and now I can--in full HD glory. Grab these freebies while ye may and stock up your laptop, iPhone, Apple TV (if you're one of the five people who own one--hi-yo!), or whatever.
