Kind of surprised Dollhouse isn’t there. After the renewal, there was a huge amount of buzz on Twitter from people apparently watching the show for the first time (I don’t mean Europeans, I mean people explicitly saying they’d avoided it at first but now it had been picked up they were going to give it a second go.)
@squiggleslash: If all those twitter people are Americans, they have no need for Bittorrent, they can watch legally on Hulu and FoD.
Gusar – you’d be surprised how many do anyway. Also only something like the last five episodes of Dollhouse are available on Hulu, or at least that was the case last time I looked.
I suspect it’s really just Twitterers making something look bigger than it is.
Wow No Dollhouse! Also 7 out of 10 were not ranked last week. Ah yes…the season of Season Finales.
Gusar only 5 episodes of dollhouse are on hulu. sooooooo
Gusar,
Tons of Americans on BitTorrent websites and message boards. The reasons for torrenting can be numerous: sometimes I torrent when I miss my favourite show or when two run concurrently (and I have no DVR), or when one does not wish to cough a small fortune on a monthly basis to pay for premium cable or when one likes to burns copies of specific shows / eps (I do that for Dollhouse even though I watch it live on TV).
As for Doollhouse not appearing on the list, perhaps that is because its finale aired the week prior, and most downloads occur within a certain time frame after an ep airs.
Well Dollhouse is 22, the week after the season finale; keep in mind that his against all shows ( network and cable ) from all the time.
WOW! im surprised Primeval is on the list lol!
A lot of shows that I didn’t expect made the top 10. Legend of tghe Seeker? Really? But no Dollhouse…
Last week legend of the seeker was the serie finale
@ squiglleslash/Adam nobody watches Dollhouse even you tweeted a hundred times! Nobody would still watch it!
