Itunes TV show size?

I've read the FAQ concering the size of TV shows and
such, but I recently downloaded the first episode of
Prison Break, and much to my dismay it was 500 mb.
Now, I know the FAQ said that they were only 200 mb,
but are all of these episodes gonna be 500 mb?

From the FAQ ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304277#faq5):
How large is the average movie?
A 2-hour movie is about 1.5 GB.

Couldn't find info about TV shows but we don't get them in the UK yet. The info must be there somewhere.

And, when I get my video ipod (30 gig) for christmas am I
gonna be able to upload my videos to my ipod, delete
them from my computer and still be able to pull them
back up to watch them on the computer?

If you want room on your computer the best option is to back them up to CD or DVD - what would happen if you lost your iPod?

400-500MB is about average for tv shows now. When they increased the resolution for itunes 7, the file size went up. 1/2 hour shows used to be around 100MB, now they are 250ish - hour shows used to be about 200Mb now they are 400-500. And, yes, movies are around 1.5GB. Look at it this way, the rez is smaller than on a DVD but the file size is smaller as well, ripped directly from a DVD a movie is around 3-6GB (depending on length of movie and other factors). If this is a mjor problem, you have two choices - a) dont download any movies or tv shows from itunes or b)get a bigger HD (ext or int). and no, it doesnt matter what OS you have.
