I'm not going to list specific TV shows but rather provide links to the download sites since TV shows come and go and new ones are always coming down the pike. I figure this way you can stick this post in your Favorites and come back to it whenever you feel like foraging for TV content online. As of this writing, the following networks are offering content through the iTunes store: A&E, ABC, ABC Family, ABC News, Adult Swim, Animal Planet, Biography Channel, Bravo, Cartoon Network, CBS, CNN, Comedy Central, CSTV/CBS Sports, Discovery Channel, Discovery Health, Discovery Kids, Disney Channel, E!, ESPN, FOX, FOX Reality, Fuel TV, FX, History Channel, FX, Jetix, Logo, MTV, NBC, NBC News, NFL Network, Nick at Nite, Nickelodeon, Sci Fi Channel, Showtime, Sleuth, SOAPNet, Speed, Spike, The N, TLC, Travel Channel, TV Land, USA and Warner Bros.

UPDATE: jbelkin hepped me to this site that lists free-for-a-limited-time iTunes downloads: http://www.itsfreedownloads.com/

TV shows can also be found on Google Video if you feel like poking around. I personally find the site to be a bit too arduous for my taste. UPDATE: Reader Lampbane made a list of the shows offered through Google in the comments. Thanks, Lamp.

If I missed anything, and I probably did, let me know in the comments. Keep in mind I'm only interested in full episodes, not clips.

NEW: Commenter dr.tv has a massive list of shows available online here. A great source.

*TV Squad is also owned by AOL.
