Some more thoughts on NBCU content on the video iPod:

1. There has to be search. I want to find the episode of “Dragnet” where Joe Friday said, “No one said that to me ma’am.” (My wife’s favorite Dragnet line). Rich media search can do that.
2. I don’t think all shows should be priced the same, but for starters it’s fine…the marketplace will show these Media Titans what sells and what doesn’t (and rejigger pricing to suit). I don’t think an old episode of “Adam-12” is worth the same as last week’s “Monk.”
3. There has to be recommendations to sort through the titles. Just like celebrity music mixes or mixes from music aficionados, I’d like to see (Tv critic) Tom Shales’ top 10 episodes of “Law and Order.” Or maybe even (former Tv critic) my top 10 episodes of “Hill Street Blues. (wink, wink). That will get TV shows to fly off the shelf.
4. By the way, with NBC-U, I’d like to see “The Rockford Files,” “Hill Street Blues,” “Cosby,” “I Spy” and (of course) “Seinfeld.”

The best is yet to come. Welcome to a new world order for TV. Apple is at the forefront. No suspirse!

Episodes of Monk on the video iPod? Are you kidding me? I think I could fly from here to Timbuktu watching Monk on the video iPod. A great show that is even better on second viewing (and third, fourth...)  Now about that battery life….
