Variety is reporting that this coming season of How I Met Your Mother will be available in iTunes!  Episodes will begin to show up in the iTunes Store the Tuesday after they air on TV.  They also won’t be just in iTunes, but Amazon’s similar service as well.  Even better, it won’t be just the new episodes but seasons one and two as well with a possiblity of some of last seasons episodes being offered for free.

I am really glad to see CBS finally catching on.  The iTunes store is what launched The Office into it’s amazing popularity and HIMYM could use a shot in the arm like this to boost it’s ratings.   While I don’t see it in the iTunes store right now, hopefully they will all be there by next Monday. (Side note, the pilot episode for CBS’s new show The Big Bang Theory is available for free in the iTunes store).

Welcome to the digital age CBS.
