Is there a place that tracks free episodes on iTunes?
Currently the pilot of Glee is free. I have seen a few in the past be free as well. It would be nice to have a site or iphone app that alerts you. Anyone know?

If you go to www.google.com, then sign in (your gmail login will work) there is an option at the top right for iGoogle.
On iGoogle, you can "add stuff" using an option on the right. Then search for iTunes.
I have a bunch of stuff on my personalized page: recent news stories from my local paper, weather forecasts, RSS feeds from a couple sites I follow, most recent gmail emails, etc.
I only go to iGoogle when I want to see something I've added there, but I've set it for my mom's homepage and she loves it.

Check out the video section of the Podcast department on iTunes for Showtime. They offered free episodes of The Tudors and Nurse Jackie as podcasts instead of TV Show downloads.

Just go to the iTunes store every Wednesday or Thursday and see what's new for free.
And out of the episodes you listed, keep in mind that most of them are "featurettes" which are 2 to 4 minute previews or promos.
Right now, here is the free stuff that is not a featurette / promo:
Truth in 24 (a documentary about the Le Mans race) (98 minutes)
Disney Zeke and Luther, Season 1, Episode 1, "Bros Go Pro" (22 minutes)
Both are available in HD or standard definition for free.
That's it, besides the standard two English songs and one Spanish song, plus a music video.

This is what I use as well. Add it to your RSS reader, and you get updated every time there's some new free thing on iTunes.

Re: Is there a place that tracks free episodes on iTunes?
Thanks, I'll download the goosebumps episode.
You know, I updated my iTunes to the most recent version, and now it's hard to tell what's what on iTunes. The old version would give the name, whether it was a song or a TV show, and if I remember right, the size. The new version just gives a picture and a few letters from the name and you have to guess what the item is and whether or not you want to click on it. Really annoying.
