New TV at iTunes Can., UK
Programming from several TV networks has been added to iTunes Stores in Canada and the UK. ITV has signed a deal to bring a variety of "classic" TV shows to the UK iTunes Store, among them international hits such as The Prisoner and The Saint, along with more locally famous series such as Captain Scarlet and Brideshead Revisited. Downloads are priced at an average of £1.89 per episode, but not all shows and seasons are currently available.
At the Canadian iTunes Store, several Nickelodeon shows have been added, which are also duplicated via YTV and Treehouse. Besides Avatar: The Last Airbender, shoppers can find episodes of Spongebob Squarepants, Blue's Clues, Dora the Explorer, Drake & Josh and Wonder Pets. Episodes are priced at $1.99 CAD each.
not fair!

How dare Canada and the UK get shows that aren't available to the US! It just isn't right! There goes Apple again, discriminating against us unfortunate US citizens in favor of the world.
When will Apple stop treating us americans like second-class citizens?????

ITunes Canada Sucks

Actually, the US iTunes store offers the best selection of tv shows and movies. The Canadian store is mostly a joke for videos, and Canadian viewers do not have access to CBS/ABC/FOX/WB(or what they call themselves now) offerings. And forget Movies. They're nowhere to be found. So close, yet so far.
