In a newsletter sent out by the staff at Call For Help (CFH), it was announced that on June 13th, 2006, technological fans of the internationally followed show can now access past, present and future episodes on Google Video (http://video.google.com).

However, what the newsletter neglected to mention was that each video that's produced and made available by Rogers Media, will require that you purchase the full length episode (about 48 minutes each) for a price of $0.99 per episode. The free version gives about 27 seconds (the show's intro and theme) -- providing you the information of what's being discussed in the particular episode.

We're not here to knock down the approach, we just wanted to make sure that the viewers understand that you'll need to purchase each video to view it and that it's not free... well, just the ones produced by Rogers Media.

You can check out the full newsletter posted on Call for Help IHMW Forums.

This is one of those situations with: "Why pay for something I use to get for free?" I love Call for Help but I don't like this whole "Pay for your TV Episodes". I understand this with movies, but TV shows? The shows "24" and "South Park" are doing this too. In the age where Tivo runs freely, paying for TV shows is stupid. It's just too bad that Call for Help isn't aired here in the US? So instead of giving the viewers what we want, why not charge the viewers to watch what we should still be getting for free.

Man I was really excited for the new CFH but I would never actually pay for each episode. Its not worth it that much.
