'Daily Show,' 'Colbert Report,' and more for your Zune
Early this month, Microsoft announced the availability of TV shows in the Zune Marketplace. The initial launch included more the 800 episodes from networks such as MTV and NBC. Now, the Zune catalog is set to increase by 50 percent, with Microsoft adding more than 400 episodes from 19 shows over the next week and a half. In addition to the programs listed below, new shows from Bravo will be added in the near future.

- I've never really understood the allure of being able to watch movies or tv shows on a small screen when you are 'out and about.' This is not a criticism of Zune, but all these multimedia players. I'd rather sit at home and watch movies on my home theater. When I'm out and about, the last thing I want to do is watch a movie - that's why I'm out and about! I guess I'm old fashioned that way :-)

(5 Comments)In my honest opinion, I think buying TV shows and movies from iTunes or Zune Marketplace is just a waste of time and money. I just feel there are corporate big-wigs who are laughing non-stop at how we pump money into these devices. I can understand buying music and even a podcast, because those are 'on the go' media. But movies and TV? Just doesn't do it for me. I'm curious to know if anyone else agrees with me?
