Report-an-Apple-bug Friday! #1

my first ever. yay!

in iTunes, there is a 'Browse' display, activated by clicking a 'Browse' button in the upper-right corner of the ⌘1 window. this provides a hierarchical display of the contents of the currently-selected source. in the iTunes Music Store, one of the top-level selections is 'TV Shows'.

you would expect that selecting 'TV Shows' here would show you a list of all the TV shows available to be bought on the iTunes Video Store. and you would be wrong, because it only lists some of them.

the full list of displayed shows is:

• Adam 12
• Alfred Hitchcock Presents
• Battlestar Galactica
• Commander in Chief
• Desperate Housewives
• Dragnet
• Knight Rider
• Law & Order
• Lost
• Monk
• Night Stalker
• The Office
• The Suite Life of Zack & Cody
• Surface
• The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

this leaves out a number of shows, including well-known ones like Late Night with Conan O'Brien and Saturday Night Live.

UPDATE 2006-01-30: it seems fixed now, although the bug isn't closed yet.
