The TV Addict 

If Sunday’s ratings were any indication, a lot of you missed the critically acclaimed two-hour series premiere of KINGS. Lucky for you, there is still time to jump on the bandwagon thanks to NBC/Universal’s savvy decision to offer up the series premiere as a free download on iTunes in both HD and standard definition.

In celebration of NBC Universal finally deciding to get their head out of their collective arse come to their senses and return to the iTunes ecosystem, Apple and the Massive Dynamics-esque corporation known as General Electric have made the savvy decision to release some of our favorite shows in both Standard and High Definition for FREE.

If you’re anything like this TV Addict, the odds are good that on Monday night you were too busy watching HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, CHUCK, HEROES and PRISON BREAK to tune into the CW’s Monday night comedy line-up featuring EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS, ALIENS IN AMERICA, GIRLFRIENDS and THE GAME.

Luckily for us, the CW’s no dummy [although VERONICA MARS fans may disagree] and have currently made CHRIS, ALIENS and GIRLFRIENDS available for free on iTunes by clicking here.

Do you know what that means? After countless years on the air, this TV Addict will finally be tuning into his first episode of GIRLFRIENDS! That my friends is the power of iTunes. NBC, take note.

Fox Broadcasting Company (FOX) and Apple today announced that for the first time ever, series and season premiere episodes of FOX’s fall series will be available free on the iTunes Store beginning this week. Series include the debuts of new shows BACK TO YOU, KITCHEN NIGHTMARES and K-VILLE, as well as returning favorites PRISON BREAK, BONES, AMERICAN DAD and ’TIL DEATH. These FOX premieres will be available free on iTunes beginning the day after their respective launches for two weeks. [click here to head on over to iTunes]

“iTunes customers are going to love being able to purchase new and returning FOX shows on the iTunes Store,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s vice president of iTunes. “We’re thrilled FOX decided to kick off the fall season with such an incredible promotion on iTunes.”

Eddy Cue, we at theTVaddict.com couldn’t have said it better ourselves. Who doesn’t love effortlessly [and legally] being able to purchase their favorite TV shows on iTunes to play on our iPods and iPhones. Free downloads will certainly make this TV Addict’s upcoming five hour flight to LA a lot easier. Here’s hoping NBC starts to take note. Because not only does Amazon Unbox not work on a plane, I’m sure it doesn’t fit on my Mac, iPod or iPhone.

Okay, so I realize I sound like a broken record — but really, there’s nothing this TV Addict loves more than FREE TV on iTunes. For a limited time, you can check out last nights fantastic third season premiere of PRISON BREAK by clicking here. Want to spend a little time in New Orleans? Why not give Anthony Anderson’s new drama K-VILLE a try [click here]. And finally, hoping to generate some positive buzz for their newest comedy, CBS is offering up a sneak peak at the BIG BANG THEORY starring the adorable Kaley Cuoco [click here]. God we love iTunes. NBC take note.

Why not brighten up the start of another dreary work week with FREE TV DOWNLOADS courtesy of our friends at iTunes. Scared off by FLASH GORDON’s mixed-to-negative reviews? Judge for yourself by downloading the pilot for free. Wish you jumped on board THE NINE bandwagon when the show premiered last fall (it really might have helped keep the show on the air!). The pilot’s now available as a free download by clicking here. And finally, while not technically ‘free’, iTunes is having a SIZZLING SUMMER SALE, offering some of the TV Addict’s favorite shows at a great discount. Click here to check out seasons of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, THE OFFICE, ANDY BARKER P.I., SAVED BY THE BELL and more at great low prices.

iTunes has been kind enough to set up a page where you can see all the FREE DOWNLOADS that are currently being offered. You can check it out by clicking here. Soap Fans should note that for the first time ever, a daytime soap is being released on iTunes. You can watch the first week’s episode of PASSIONS for free by clicking here.
