I had the opposite experience from Mark. I was trying to buy just a couple seasons of The Office. On the Mac, I found only two choices: either buy single episodes, or buy the whole series for $99. There was no option to purchase individual seasons. Haven’t tried it on my phone yet, I was going to do that today. Cheers, Donna
