Damn the Luck

Mrs. F and I watched the first two-part section of the 24 season premiere tonight, which was recorded onto our TiVo. It was a great start, and we decided to make it a late night with the second two-part opener from Monday--only to find out that the TiVo's IR (infrared) blasters that control the channel changing on the cable box didn't do their job.

Khhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!

Why can't all TV shows be available from the Apple iTunes store? And why can't The West Wing--which is from NBC, an Apple partner in this brave new world--be part of the currently available package (since I missed Sunday's ep due to the 24 premiere)? Oh, woe is me. (Anyone got a DVD of the third and fourth 24 episodes? Anybody?)
