True, but there's only about 100 million households in the US, so 3 billion downloads would be quite an achievement. Also, this was in the first day, not total.

I loved seasons 1-3, but season 4 really isn't doing it for me in the same way. Enjoyable, certainly, but a little disappointing after waiting so long. I'd still highly recommend the whole series though.
