Very little good being released on/for TV these days… sad really.
@ 2 - nubz
yeh i know, you think thats a show about stoners and stuff but really if you were to watch that while high it’d probably make you paranoid, lol
on a serious side, i cant get into thepiratebay.org halp!1
Well, I wonder what shows will be on top when Heroes, Lost, Smallville and all those shows starts airing again :D
@ Lars, try a proxy because TPB is opening (and opening fast) here.
@ Dan, dont forget BSG… ;)
Weeds is the only cool show running nowaways in my opionion.
But it’s far from a stoner-show, yes.
Believe me, you’ll miss the whole story if you’re high.
hey how come bleach is not ranked in this?
How did the Daily Show and the Colbert Report suddenly disappear?
hells fucking kitchen, give me a break
Daily Show and Colbert are reruns this week afaik.
Heh i was watching TV shows dled threw BT/others years before Tivo came out…
great. propaganda is the only thing on the list. dressed as ‘entertainment’.
Is there gonna be another series of Prison Break?
Roberto: They’re on holiday - don’t you listen to what they say on their shows? 2 weeks.
If we’re pirates we may as well start acting like it, labelling and selling the box sets.
yea I could seriously undercut studio prices
Tv is mostly sucky at the moment, it’s off season coupled with the earlier strike screw ups
Top gear of course deserves to be top, Dr who has breathed its last til 2010, the rest are a few new series and they all mostly suck, but its the lack of choice is why people are watching them

It’s good to see the British TV is making a come back on the international seen. For quite a while it been American shows at the top.
