You can only watch so much "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" from Apple's iTunes.

But what about showing your faux emo/hipster excitement by feigning interest over downloading the pilot for "Knight Rider," "Dragnet," and "Adam 12"?

The programming spans from the 1950s to the present, including shows from "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," "Dragnet," USA Network's "Monk," the Sci-Fi Channel's "Battlestar Galactica," and NBC's hit series "Law & Order." Sketches from "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" are also for sale.

Apple unleashed a dramatically different way of distributing television programs when it debuted videos for sale on its iTunes Music Store on Oct. 20 with Walt Disney Co.'s ABC as its first network partner. Customers have since downloaded more than three million videos.

The latest deal expands Apple's TV catalog from five shows to 16.

You also can get a test of Knight Ridery goodness by previewing the show and lamenting on how much you thought KITT was state-of-the-art, kick ass technology and now think that it's actually Mr. Feeny from "Boy Meets World" locked in the trunk.

Also, please commence with the posting of David Hasselhoff and Gary Coleman pictures with the caption "I'd Hit That" because that's totally ironic.

Downloading "Law & Order" is like bringing sand to the beach.

Knight Rider. That would be great to download to watch on the train. Unfortunately, we can't get them in the UK

But you never see the ONE show you want to.

It's a shadowy flight into the world of a man who does not exist.

I cannot think of a better way to spend £219 just so I can watch corny 1980's TV shows on the way to work.

Christ!

I'm reminded of the SixSixFive I Love the 80's simulator.

Also... Alfred Hitchcock Presents is awesome.
