- He That Believeth in Me - Battlestar Galactica, Season 4

- Mr. Monk Buys a House - Monk, Season 7
- Ghosts - Psych, Season 3

SOME? Try MOST. As soon as I heard there were free episodes, I grabbed 3 of them. I'm sure a lot of people did the same.

I wonder how many they lost by not selling on iTS, especially during the Olympics.

Nice to see NBC back and the level of interest shown by 1 million downloads in a relatively short time.

Call me crazy but I just bought season 4 of Battlestar Galactica despite having them all from 'other sources'. Why? To show NBC that if you offer them in a way that is convenient for the customer (remember them?) at a reasonable price and HD as a bonus then I will buy them rather than get them from 'other sources'.
I hope the NBC execs have learned form this episode.

That's a huge number for such a short amount of time. What are people saying about the quality of the HD programming from NBC.

Seems like iTunes needs NBC as much as NBC needs iTunes for an online impact.
1 million - says a lot to those people who were saying iTunes is better off without them...
