- riptor666, on 07/30/2008, -1/+37Well Top Gear is awesome and I can't possibly watch it another way, since I don't live in the UK.
- midgetxman3, on 07/30/2008, -6/+36Dugg for Penn and Teller
- inactive, on 07/30/2008, -1/+19" Torrentfreak will be back shortly" :(
- kent1146, on 07/30/2008, -3/+18Once the new Battlestar episodes come out, this list will TOTALLY change.
- shadyrudy, on 07/30/2008, -0/+14If you haven't seen Burn Notice, you should check it out. Best Summer series in a long time, IMO
- baldgye, on 07/30/2008, -5/+18buried for being on the front page about 2 days ago.
- howdareyou, on 07/30/2008, -1/+14Dugg for Top Gear.
***** is horrible now, it used to be incredibly factual while still being incredibly humorous. There used to be many "oh snap" moments, but now each episode ends and I'm left thinking "okay that's it?' - BlackJackJester, on 07/30/2008, -1/+13You have no idea how happy it makes me to see a show with Bruce Campbell in any top 10 list.
- happytedium, on 07/30/2008, -1/+11Could someone please post the list on here? I can't access torrentfreak from work.
Without the Lost/Office/Scrubs combo I haven't been getting as much TV lately, but I've recently got into Dexter and of course there's always Weeds (which hasn't been as good this season, but it is starting to pick up. Needs more Doug Wilson.) - DarkDragon, on 07/30/2008, -1/+11BBC America if you have the option
- Icetype, on 07/30/2008, -3/+12It's effing awesome.
- Depravo, on 07/30/2008, -0/+9An informative and unbiased motoring programme that's genuinely amusing? What's not to like?
- Wilda, on 07/30/2008, -0/+8From what I have seen the BBC America airings are at least two to three seasons behind and the episodes are cut to make room for commercials.
- Mohonri, on 07/30/2008, -1/+8It's a great show. It's (sorta) a car show, but even if you're not into cars, it's good entertainment. If you've never seen it, it's definitely worth a download.
- zerhynn, on 07/30/2008, -1/+82010 guys. Doctor Who comes back. Check the list then. :(
20XX guys, Battlestar galactica stops trying to make more money by delaying forever. - DaviDTC, on 07/30/2008, -2/+9Do we really need a weekly update on this?
- Nothlit, on 07/30/2008, -0/+6Probably because this is a weekly list and BSG isn't airing new episodes right now...
- eggsovereasy, on 07/30/2008, -0/+6Don't forget to mention Bruce Campbell :)
- nightsky07, on 07/30/2008, -1/+7Glad to see Psych made the list. I love that show. Burn Notice is also worth seeing.
- Kidddrunkadelic, on 07/30/2008, -1/+7Get some!
Dugg for Generation Kill. - SpyCatcher, on 07/30/2008, -0/+6I like burn notice... good show.
- explnx, on 04/27/2009, -1/+7They are running out of stuff to talk about. Half of the six episodes that have aired so far this season, "War on Porn", "New Age Medicine", and "Being Green" are retreads of old topics.
I'm happy that they changed their stance on global warming from "No such thing!" to "We don't know", but they didn't need a whole episode for that. - Psythik, on 07/30/2008, -6/+11Impossible. There's no way anyone could survive without watching Top Gear.
- nub4life, on 07/30/2008, -0/+5Downloading tv shows off bittorrent is inevitable, if it's a good show (or even a bad one). Instead of whining and complaining, they should just take advantage of it. Put in some product placement, and get money that way. Not sure how the networks will make money this way, but I'm sure they'll figure out a way.
- mikephimikephi, on 07/30/2008, -0/+4CBF going back through the weeks to check, but did Daily Show and Colbert Report drop down the list
after Viacom started publishing the full episodes online? - chrisinsocalif, on 07/30/2008, -0/+4Top Gear takes the Top spot. Great show, you can see it on BBC America if you have a cable provider that has that channel. Its a great show that is about vehicle reviews and more with Hammond, Capt Slow, Jeremy Clarkson and the STIG. They plan to make a US version of the show also. As long as the US version is close to the UK version i will be a happy person.
- Horribad, on 07/30/2008, -1/+5Was going to post something similiar
You can't pirate it when its broadcasted and the stations have it readily available on their website. - xsecretfiles, on 07/30/2008, -0/+4I actually love weeds this season :)
but you are right about Doug, it makes things funnier - NoSalt, on 07/30/2008, -0/+4Shouldn't the list be titled "Top 10 Most TIME SHIFTED TV Shows on BitTorrent"???
- xsecretfiles, on 07/30/2008, -1/+5Out of those I only watch 2
Weeds and Psych
Psych is a really funny show. I hope no one is missing it :) - overworkedtech, on 07/30/2008, -0/+4Yep, I watch it on BBC America. Dish network.
- Slade605, on 07/30/2008, -2/+6I would assume that it's exclusive to the british and doesn't show in the US. Just a guess.
- Skooma714, on 07/30/2008, -0/+4***** yeah Stargate Atlantis.
And lol, torrents are about free speech not piracy amirite? - EtherGnat, on 07/30/2008, -1/+5That's kind of like saying you can't pirate music because it's played on the radio. Like it or not they do not give up their copyright and distribution rights by showing something on TV.
- salamnder, on 07/30/2008, -0/+4What I found is easier (for some shows) then torrents is, hulu. They have every burn notice on there. The movies still suck on hulu tho
- inactive, on 07/30/2008, -2/+6I only downloaded Stargate Atlantis lately...and the final episodes of Avatar.
There's not many shows worth watching at this time...but that's me.
I want more Lost, BSG, Heroes, House, Family Guy and South Park, dammit! And when does Futurama come back as TV series?
TV sucks right now...meh. Well I can always watch some good Anime shows, thanks Japan. - Adrianne, on 07/30/2008, -1/+4The US version is going to be terrible.
First of all it's going to be hosted by Adam Corolla who's terrible.
The only reason he is hosting it is because Jay Leno turned it down.
I don't really like Leno, but he does love cars and I think he might actually be good for that show.
Leno wisely turned it down because the American version won't be able to do car reviews. The American networks will need to please their advertisers, where the BBC doesn't have that problem since they are a public broadcasting network.
So the American version will basically be a horribly unfunny car commercial. - saltydawkins, on 07/30/2008, -0/+3Dug for Psych! That show is cheesyhilariousawesome
- smartcause, on 07/30/2008, -0/+3I second that.
- dsmx, on 07/30/2008, -0/+3Or could it be that because the arseholes in charge seem to think that only people from america should be allowed to watch them on the official site forcing everyone else to pirate them to watch them?
- donkz, on 07/30/2008, -0/+3wow, you can really tell networks don't care about putting on any good shows during the summer off-season
- TheKingInYellow, on 07/30/2008, -0/+3weeds would totally suck if doug and andy were not part of the cast. season three was pretty bad and doug and andy saved it.
- Locnar, on 07/30/2008, -0/+3I totally agree.. Its about time Cambell got a break!!!
"Shop smart... shop S mart! " - AlaskaLoneWolf, on 07/30/2008, -0/+3Might be wrong, but I think, at least by now, that everyone has every season, in its entirety, on their drive already.
- h3lx, on 07/30/2008, -0/+2we did all this last week too.
- mrjohnnycake, on 07/30/2008, -2/+4Why are people still bothering to download The Daily Show and Colbert? I stopped that as soon as they started showing full episodes on their respective sites for free. I guess the word just hasn't spread yet.
- wfiupublicradio, on 07/30/2008, -0/+2I think Curb will top this list when it returns in the fall!
- jonathandyer, on 07/30/2008, -0/+2I agree. BSG always tops (or comes very close to topping) isohunt.com's top 10 searches whenever a new episode comes out.
