CBC DUMB!

Jericho is a good show amoung so, so many good US shows!

I enjoyed reading all your comments, you seem to get angry at each other a lot!

‘All you need is love!’ ;-)

cool site…

Go ahead, download the torrents and don’t watch the network. And in a few years, when you have nothing to download but “Jackass,” I’ll gladly say I told you so and laugh at your shortsightedness.

P.S. The leak of these episodes and their subsequent uploads and downloads on various sites are both illegal and in violation of U.S. and international copyright laws, and believe me, CBS Legal is very much aware of it. Enjoy your fun while you can, children.[/quote]

Did you ever stop and think that this may actually help promote the show. I never watched an episode of Jericho until yesterday when I heard about the leak so I started watching it from season 1 and I love the show so far. See they got a new viewer already from the leak.[/quote]

They’re the only ones who actually count towards ratings, Joe Q. Public makes no difference whatsoever – until it hits DVD of course.[/quote]

this is absolutly correct (even though my spelling aint)
however they may one day look at torrent stats to give some real time rattings. the nuts campain should have shown them that they were way off the mark… and no if you tivo the show it won’t count either.
personaly i think they should use the info from direct tv and dish nw and cable boxes to get more acurate rattings, i’m shore that wouldn’t be hard to set up.

2×01 – We Are Back
2×02 – Still trying to figure out, it starts with J& and ends with BOXCAR. J& is probably J&R, Jennings&Rall, BOXCAR is a mysterious folder on Hawkings Flash drive.
2×03 – Caller

I’ve downloaded and viewed from BitTorrent the first 3 episodes… EXCELLENT WORK!!!

I plan to buy on DVD the 1st Season with my next paycheck and the first three just made me do that move! STILL SHARP and DIRECT as ever.

I still plan on watching it on TV (High Def does look better than 350 megabyte files on a 40 inch LCD TV).

I have a Armitron PPM (personal People meter) for Radio.. not sure it picks up TV but I wear it when watching these high quality shows.

I even downloaded the Sahah Chronicles (Terminator 2.5) but again, I watched Both episodes on the TV for the High Deff experience and 5.1 sound..

So… as Apple iTV and others come along, time shifting (no I dont’ have cable nor Tivo) will be important since we have a 10 and 15 year old in the house.

Sincerely,

Califonia Bit-Torrent Guy.

This show is one of the few that my son enjoys. It has no ‘graphic content’, so I will be purchasing him a Season Pass once the season starts, because I want to support quality programming (“quality” as in, ’tis okay for my boy to watch and he gets a kick out of it. (when really, it is on par with A-team, CHIPS, Macguyver, and other 80′s dreck I grew up watching)).

Lol, but are they making any money off of you? Because otherwise, the production powerhouses are not, I would think, very impressed :)[/quote]

Actually they make money off of me. My satellite bill is over $100/month and I know the networks get a piece of it and if I like the show I usually buy the DVDs so there is more money. So what if I download a show that I missed. If it wasn’t for torrents I would have never watched Heroes, Lost and Battlestar Galactica.

Just a couple of hours ago, I was mourning Dark Angel, Firefly, and Over There; excellent shows, with pretty big and extremely strong fan bases and great critical reviews, which were axed long LONG before their time (think after only one or two seasons).
Sure, a show can only go so long – say, five seasons or so – before it finishes its story, and has to be let down for the next show / story; but the cancellations of these (and many other!) shows is just horribly sad and disappointing.

But how do we keep 1) shows we like alive, 2) their creators and contributors paid and happy, and 3) the torrent / p2p pipelines filled?

Two ways: first, Neilson Ratings should accept “Save-Our-Show” correspondence, and count it as, say, four times more valuable then their set-top boxes and their tv-diaries [because obviously, someone who cares enough to write a snail-mail letter and send it in, is a lot more passionate then someone who comes home from work, turns on the tv, and goes to make dinner). This would help solidify selling the airtime to advertisers: “Normal methods indicate x thousand viewers, additionally, there are x thousand devotees outside of our normal measuring index.”

Next, is cold hard cash. The rest of us non-Neilson-approved households can’t send very many real-time messages to TV show producers and creators, n’est pas? However, if there were a way for fans, having discovered a currently-running show they like, to go to the shows website and pre-order that season on DVD, then that would be a HELL of a consumer message! I mean, hell, I’ve seen a season of Dark Angel for ~$20 at Walmart etc, but if paying twice that for the current season meant that the show wouldn’t be cancelled, I’d gladly pay $40!

That way, the creators and contributors to the show would know:
a) There is a definite fan base.
b) The fan base is willing to pay cold hard cash for the show to continue; and
c) that IN ADDITION to the advertising revenues they make (which are worth more because the advertisers know that they are reaching the Neilson numbers PLUS the previously-uncounted fans); in addition to that increased ad revenue, they are offsetting the cost from public sponsors! Even (300,000 fans X 40 a current box set) = 12 million dollars extra a season would sure-hell help compensate for the ad revenue “lost” for not switching to some more mindless reality TV show they _think_ would be more consumed by the mind-numbed public!

Incidently, there’s 300 million people in North America alone; then if you factor in the overseas audience of 300-700+ million people, then even a percentile-fraction of those viewers paying $20-40 for the season is a big market.

So big, I would think, that even if the current studio decided to drop it, there would be incentive for some other studio to pick it up (networks can only produce enough programming to fill seven evenings worth of telly; can’t fit two hours worth into one! so it would make sense to outsource extra/niche TV shows to outside channels).

My two cents. Peace.

The only non-Nielsen counting that the networks even consider are how many hits they get on their websites, so if you would like to be counted, stream the episodes online.

The only contribution you can make is to buy the DVD.

torrentfreak.com have been busy. Today they posted Jericho Season 2 Leaks on BitTorrent | Torr……

Then I’m sure you do understand that it makes no difference whether *I* and probably most of the users of TorrentFreak download it or watch it on TV.

We are not Nielsen familes.

If you really want to make a difference, hunt down a Nielsen family, take them hostage and make THEM watch it.

I think we all here agree that we should download those episodes now that they are out there.
But if we like the show we should also buy the DVDs and do our best to get the ratings up as it is the ONLY way to give the show a third season so we can have something to download every week.

it feels like a daytime soap…….
it looks like a daytime soap….
it sounds like a daytime soap….

whoever is involved in this has taken a great show and turned it to crap.

Sorry, but I’m not going to watch a show on a network for the sole purpose of keeping it alive when there is a superior distribution method available. Neither will I purchase a CRT monitor for my computer to keep Company X who refused to move on to LCD technology “alive.”

The story is getting better and better..amazing series
deliberately leaked of course, but they now know from the comments on sites that this series is 2nd series is f’ing awesome…shame we have to wait a little longer for the 4 ep..

Those “silly sub plots” as you call them are required for most episodic television these days. You can thank “The X Files” and similar series for bringing that delightful idea known as the “story arc” to American television and which now pervades almost every TV series. Even police procedurals like “CSI” and “Law and Order” have them.

Gone are the days of shows like “Gunsmoke” where they seemed to film the same exact script, with minor variations, over and over – just using different actors on the same set with the same costumes. Oh for the days of plots without any character development! We had to wait more than 20 years to see Marshall Dillon kiss Kitty. Now that’s what I call television!

My point is this. Watch the damn network. If people don’t watch the network, there won’t be one. Then there will be no more shows (except on cable). And then you’ll have bad homemade YouTube videos for your torrents. Put that in your pipe and smoke it while you’re illegally downloading “Jericho.”
