breaking bad yeah!!!!!
1st :D
House MD is the only show i enjoy on tv nowadays.
www made me 2nd.
Good enough :)
Still no “Two and a Half Men”? Incomprehensible.
Breaking Bad > *
Also, I bet the Final Break, prison break finale would rank quite high too.
Two and a Half Men
house
Rescue Me
all the Law and orders
History & discovery channel documentary’s
I’ve been going for penn & teller bullshit recently since you can’t get it in the UK. Great Show. Torrents FTW!
Finally Breaking Bad in on the list!
wow family guy movin on up, and simpsons breaking the chart..
nice
oh and you know what kinda sux.. is that we need more TV rippers right now, they are in high demand. Im thinking of startin it up myself, because there is ALOT of decent shows coming out right now that are not being ripped.
Like alot of the discovery HD and history HD and the forensic HD shows are all on TV but no torrents..
anyone have any good getting started guides?
check Tv.TORRENTs.ro for discovery HD and history HD content
We really see there that most shows have already ended….
Breaking Bad and Family Guy are only ones I DL from this list.
I gave my TV to charity
I download my shows or watch the live video feed thanks justin.tv
This year is looking grim on the side of content, who wants to see lesbian werewolfs?
All of these suck besides Simpsons and Family Guy. Well… 24 is ok.
This season of 24 was unbelievable, yet I am still huge fan of House. (Fuck Lost, shiiz weak!!)
#17 how i met your mother is like the new friends. that show is amazzzzzing.

So, speaking of TV torrents, anyone know what happened to TVRSS.net ?
prison break and heroes are awsome as hell
never even heard of how i met your mother but want to watch it now :)
Yeah, I was trying to update some RSS feeds and tvrss is gone!
Finally breaking bad made the chart,it took a bit of effort, but there it is, number eight. Let’s see if we can make it all the way up to number one.
Since most popular programs are in their season break it shouldn’t be that hard.
cheers,
-the Queef-
Withour TVrss.net I expect these numbers to drop a little because people will not realize that is down.
Oh and by the way, I noticed Prison Break is not on the list. Probably because people were caught of guard by the surprise they released this week. I really thought the had finished last week, but voila! TVrss saves the day! God save TVrss! Long live TVrss!
is this the first time breaking bad has made the list? its funny, because last week was one where the rippers dropped the ball and it was just a dsr rip for a while. it took almost a week for the hdtv rip to get released.
finally breaking bad is on the list… two more weeks it will be be on the number one list… yeah!!!!!
and how many downloads by rapidshare or netload? there are no statistics on that.
torrents are good for new files but if i want to catch up on previous seasons or older episodes of all those shows i visit sites like http://tvload.us
for newest torrents i use http://eztv.it
simpsons, house and family guy. my top 3.
the pervert is awesome:
