For Better or Werts

DOWNLOAD THIS: HBO now on iTunes

No HBO? No problem. The cabler has finally posted episodes for download at iTunes -- for a price, and then some.

While series like "The Wire," "Flight of the Conchords" and "Sex and the City" are the standard $1.99 per download, HBO jacks up the price to $2.99 per ep on "The Sopranos," "Deadwood" and "Rome."

Surely it's a coincidence those are the shows showing the most skin.

Diane Werts

Diane Werts has been glued to the tube since she can remember, growing up in a household where the TV came on first thing in the morning and stayed on till bedtime and beyond. She worked for the USA Film Festival, then for The Dallas Morning News writing about everything from Shakespeare to macrame art to rock music (and has the hearing loss to prove it). She moved to New York's Newsday to edit their glossy TV magazine, then returned to writing about television, specializing in its stranger permutations. She's a past president of the Television Critics Association.
