8 Special Edition iPods You'll Never See

After Apple introduced the Special Edition U2 iPod, it seemed like everyone wanted to jump on the special edition band wagon. There have been iPods for Madonna, Harry Potter, Tony Hawk and Beck. And those are just the Apple ones.
Since anyone with a laser etcher can create their own special edition iPod, movie studios and PR firms have been getting in on the action lately. The recent X-Flies movie iPod is a good example of this trend. We expect a Star Trek iPod with the United Federation of Planets logo landing this summer before the new movie's release.
Never to be outdone by those folks in Hollywood, we decided to create our own special edition iPods. While we would love to have any one of these limited-edition, individually-numbered iPods in our pocket, the chances of them seeing the light of day is pretty slim. Still, we can dream can't we.
The Golden Girls

Relive the geriatric high jinks of four older women as they navigate the world of early bird dinners, Social Security, and the unbelievable tales of St. Olaf, Minnesota as told by Rose. This iPod is the perfect gift for anyone in an assisted living community.
Special Feature: Blanche convinces Rose to go on a double date with the Grumpy Old Men with hilarious results.
60 Minutes

For 40 years, 60 Minutes has been a mainstay of Sunday-night television for viewers who need an hour-long dose of topical news stories. The usual click wheel is replaced with the famous stop watch that audibly ticks away the seconds until you go insane. Viewers that lose their minds because of the 60 Minutes iPod will get their own segment during sweeps.
Special Feature: Andy Rooney wonders what the deal is with all these products that start with i.
She's the Sheriff

Post-Three's Company, and pre-Thigh Master, Suzanne Sommers played Hildy Granger. A small town woman who scores the sweet job as the sheriff of a small town. She's a girl, and she's a cop, it's supposed to be funny. While in "Blonde" mode the iPod routinely forgets songs and tries to get you to diet.
Special Feature: Watch the lost episode when a triple homicide investigation takes a back seat as Hildy learns how to drive a manual transmission.
My Two Dads

In the days before Maury Povich and Montel Williams, the mystery of paternity was quaint, and sometimes fodder for mediocre television. The perfect gift for anyone who's wondered who their real dad is.
Special Feature: Watch the series finale when Nicole learns that her real dad is that guy, Bull from Night Court, and ends up having a mental breakdown.
