What's the big deal. For 4 dollars more you can usually get the full season dvd at Amazon (for now at least). I don't think iTunes' episode offerings are going to canabalize dvd sales. It possibly might increase dvd sales due to enhanced exposure.
For network shows like Desparate HWs, it seems like most people would turn to the itunes store to snag an episode they mis-Tivoed or just missed. Seems like a completely new revenue stream. They just sound desperate to get in on the potential action.
For cable shows though, iTunes can be more like a-la carte show service. That would be competing with cable. If they offerd the Daily Show, I'd have no reason to have cable.
