Does anyone know why Apple/the TV networks recently stopped posting new episodes of TV shows the day after they air?
Apple seemed really on top of this with Lost, Desperate Housewives, The Office, etc. last fall and into the spring, but they've been slacking the last few months. For instance, Project Runway's episode listing is updated infrequently (sometimes with two new shows being put up at the same time because they seemingly "forgot" the week before). Most surprisingly, the season 3 premeire of "The Office" (a runaway hit in part thanks to iTunes) isn't available for download today (the show began again last night).
Anyone know what's going on? Thanks in advance for your replies.

It's so they can put the "syndicated versions" up there 
(in reference to the "Friends" thread....)

I wouldn't doubt it, especially with the 'enhanced' quality we now get.

Yeah I noticed The Office wasn't up. On the other hand, the iTunes Store does still say this: "For as little as $1.99, you can own the latest episode of your favorite show just one day after it airs, or purchase past episodes that you might have missed (or want to watch over and over)."

Haha, spoke a bit too soon I guess. The Office's latest episode from last night (as well as a new Season Pass for season 3) was just added.
Other shows still seem to be made available slowly though...

I noticed that as well. Sometimes, Apple released the TV show a week or two later.
