Apple has added Warner Bros. TV shows to its iTunes store in the US giving American's the chance to watch "Friends" and Sci-Fi Epic "Babylon 5" on their iPods.

In addition, Warner Bros. has also added animated classics including “The Jetsons” and “The Flintstones”, bringing Apple's total offering to over 150 TV shows.

Some of the most popular sketches from “MADtv”, and a never-before-seen pilot episode of “Aquaman” – a grounded, contemporary reinterpretation of DC Comics’ Aquaman mythology from the acclaimed writing/producing team of Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) has also been added.

Although not available in the UK (I mean just turn on Channel 4, E4 or More 4 for more Friends than you can handle), Americans will be able to download the latest shows for the standard $1.99.

“Making our television content available to iTunes consumers is an important step in our digital distribution strategy”, said Simon Kenny, president, Warner Bros. Digital Distribution.
