Episodes always show up lateConsistently, new episodes don't show up on iTunes until hours and sometimes days after they have aired. I don't know who is in charge of making these episodes available on iTunes but clearly they are in no hurry to do so. I also checked Amazon to see if the latest episode (episode 12) was available on there, but it still isn't, so clearly this is not an iTunes specific problem. They need to get on top of this, its very annoying. I've been paying $3 per episode for this all season and they can't bother to make them available in a timely fashion. They should be posted on iTunes at 11pm sharp, no excuses. How hard is that?.Score: 1/5
