Error on my part: the teaser page has been online for several months now according to readers and I just missed that. There is no talk of a new version of TV Shows, let alone a 1.0 version.

TV Shows in one of those Mac applications that I use all the time, and make my life so much simpler, yet I forget I’m even using it because it works so well. That’s the definition of good software in my opinion.

TV Shows allows you to subscribe to different, well, TV shows, and it downloads the torrent files to your computer, automatically opening your torrent client if needed. You can select whether you want HD content, if available, and so much more. The application lets me keep up to date with about 6 shows that just download automatically, usually within an hour of being on TV. Combine that with this great AppleScript for adding AVI files to iTunes (and as a TV Show with show info, no less) and I have a great workflow.

I’m not sure what version 1.0 will bring, but I’ve been using version 0.3.4 for a year and a half now, so whatever features come in version 1.0, they will be welcomed. Slated for February 2009.
