HBO Shows Now Available on iTunes. Curb and Entourage Not Coming Any Time Soon.

This morning, a joint press release between HBO and Apple confirmed that HBO’s hit shows, including The Wire, Rome, The Sopranos, Sex and the City, Deadwood, and Flight of the Conchords will be available for download on iTunes. Pretty sweet.

But I came to a screeching halt when I visited the store and didn’t see my main men Vincent Chase and Larry David pictured any where. An HBO store without Entourage and Curb Your Enthusiasm? Isn’t that why people have HBO in the first place? (Note: The Wire, Sex and the City, and Sopranos do still rock.)

Just like Mr. Viking Quest Johnny Drama would want me to, I took it upon myself to find out when these shows would make an appearance in Apple’s digital store. The answer: not soon. According to an HBO spokesperson, additional HBO content will be added but no date has been set for the release of Entourage and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Additionally, he said that HBO programming will be added when the content is released to DVD.

With that news in mind, I’ll be hanging onto my HBO subscription and counting down the days until I can hug it out with the Entourage stars in the fifth season.
