@Jeff

Because Top Gear has been off the air since last year.

By: Jeff

Jeff — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 09:34:23 +0000

wait a second… How is it that Top Gear didn’t make the list? The international audience of that show is huge and its almost all pirated.

Yo — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 08:21:51 +0000

Battlestar is still on the top 10? The last season ended almost a half year ago!! Its a testament as to how great that show is… Can’t wait for the next season!

So the rest of the world doesn’t make TV shows? I’m pretty sure Top Gear would come close to beating any of these

As the ad’s are cut from most of these torrents, I think we are going to see a lot more product placements.

Well, when you consider that a significant chunk of that audience can download legally via iPlayer, and that a British Show with an American audience is a lot smaller than an American Show with a British Audience, it’s not that surprising Doctor Who’s not on the list.

Wish the Middleman was, though.

would have thought Doctor Who would be in there.hmmmm

Ach, I don’t like any of those shows. And yes, I attempted to watch some of them…

This comment system sucks, TF.

For me, linear comments are easier to keep up with, since it is impossible to follow busy threaded discussions otherwise without scrolling all over the page and keeping track of how many replies were where. Threaded comments also makes the erroneous assumption that nobody ever replies to two comments at the same time; threads in threaded comments are forced to stay separate, after all, and they can only diverge, rather than merge. In my opinion, threading is best left to sewing machines.

yeah i agree but the reply button was the best.

this shit sux.. i say kill the rep points and usernames and just bring back the reply button.

@12 http://www.10ch.org

I agree, with the old comments came the endless replies chains and the fool called “Roze” who was like a filesharing extremest and spam commented each article over 9000 times, and whose reputation was huge, even though the arguments he made were frankly amateurish and only posted to keep his overinflated reputation high. Even put me off reading comments to know that he was there, lurking.

@9 Common man et everyone
I don’t know about everyone else, but I personally like these old comments better, because, in my humble opinion, I think that having usernames and reputation points throws the focus of the comments off of the articles and onto the commentators instead – that the comments become about the commentators rather than their views – although everyone else seems to like it, and if that is so, then I guess I am the exception.

As for these lists, perhaps it may be good to make the data available to the public?

TorrentFreak, You should mabey consider making it the “top 20 most downloaded tv shows”

That way you can show people the lesser known good tv shows. Like the Us Office. Damn the last episode of that was funny.

Good work,Torrentfreak. Something which might help a lot of wannabe TV show directors to understand the taste of a major community(the whole wide world) and produce the zeitgeist shows. It also kinda helps in giving the shows which lie below the list to get a reality check and steer the show in a more interesting manner to get a wider audience.Though in my country i probably get to watch these seasons after a year.But , because of EZTV i get to satisfy my curiosity earlier and i became a fan of whole lot of TV shows, and i still watch those in my TV(i watched Prison Break season 1 and 3, 3 times)

P.S. btw wat happened to the intensedebate comment system.Did u guys stop it due to spams.I thought it was better,could have heard a lot of views of people on the issues.Hope you bring it back

Wow, one episode bumped Heroes above Lost in the total downloads?

Lost and House are excellent shows and deserve the top spots in my opinion.

Did anyone see the halftime show on ABC called Wipeout?

Check that show out if you like the japanese show called MXC. Its alot better (and in english) and its hilarious as shit.

WipeOut!

God, it is annoying when people come out and say everything on that list is crap. Maybe go and see one of them?

But I have to agree, some of the shows up there are really losing it.

Anyway, great list TF.
