NBC Universal has joined ABC in serving up video to owners of Apple's Video iPod. This deal started to bring primetime, cable, late-night and classic TV shows to the mobile device as of 2am this morning.

iTunes includes shows such as Law & Order and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Other shows include The Office, Surface, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Monk and battlestar galactica.

Classic TV shows will also be offered as part of the partnership, including Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Dragnet, Adam-12 and Knight Rider.

"In our first two months we have sold more than three million videos, and have expanded our TV catalogue from five shows to 16 shows" said Steven Jobs.

The TV shows are available in the US only, and video availability varies by country. TV shows are $1.99 per episode, and music videos and short films are $1.99 each.

The deal with NBC means that iTunes now offers more than 300 episodes of 16 TV shows for viewing on a computer or iPod.
