iTunes rounded out its network television offerings today by adding primetime CBS shows including all three CSI franchises, NCIS, Numb3rs and Survivor. The shows will be $1.99 each, just like shows from NBC, USA, Showtime, ABC, and (all importantly) Comedy Central's The Daily Show.

Investors seemed just as pleased as customers (the ones who will now be able to watch a bullet ripping through some poor sap's body over and over and over on their iPod's tiny screen). AAPL rode the tech sector up $2.195, or nearly 4%, to $60.76.

With this addition, iTunes carries virtually every popular primetime TV show, all for $1.99 each, and making the company the vendor of choice for watching television on the (very) small screen. The question: do customers want to download their TV, or record it on their DVRs for fullsize viewage? I'd much rather buy my shows one-by-one than navigate the complexities and scheduling required to remember to record them. How 'bout you?

 You might think that Apple pays big bucks to be seen on some of TV's most popular shows - "The Office," "CSI:NY," "24," or  "Las Vegas," for example.  Well it doesn't. 

Apple gets all this visibility for free.  In fact the trade journal Hollywood Reporter said that Apple's products found their way onto TV shows 250 times in the past four months.  Wow!  That's a lot of free air time.

 Apple says it doesn't pay for any of this placement, but also would not discuss how it does it. Its secret probably is related to the fact that Apple was the first technology company to hire an LA representative who focuses on getting Apple products on TV shows and into movies.  Tim Bajarin, an analyst at Creative Strategies, says other top tech companies are following Apple's lead including Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and Toshiba.  Bajarin said Apple's exposure is "not an accident. This is something Apple works at.  Apple has the longest history of doing this."
