It's good to see Daily Show and Colbert report in the top 5 this year, they've really picked up viewers over the Presidency Campaign coverage over in *** states and viewers there can watch the shows online for free (similar to what we have for iPlayer IIRC but with no DRM) but it blocks non USA viewers so the rest of the world have to watch it on more4 for Daily Show or download Colbert report.

Really good and funny shows though!
 
You can watch The Daily Show and The Colbert Report on their respective websites regardless of whether you are an American viewer or not.

Thus I'm fairly surprised they are such heavily downloaded programs.
 
Hot damn they changed it then! before you could only watch clips not full eps!

TDS and TCR are awesome, much like HIGNIFY !

The clips were basically the full episode though anyway....

I'd say also that TCR is fairly weak a lot of the time, although it hits the jackpot on a fair few occasions. Colbert relies on too few comedic "instruments" as it were as opposed to TDS.
 
Have you seen the newer eps of Colbert though? they have been immense.
 
What is this meant to show? You have stats for one week in 2008, and are putting them against the whole year of 2007?!

And not a very good week at that, shows like scrubs and prison break have finished their season, and so of course wouldnt be downloaded much during that week. If it showed all of 2008, then it could be very similar to 2007.
 
The first season of L O S T was amazing.
It's one of the best ideas for a tv show I can recall and it started very strongly.
Sadly it hasn't quite kept up the pace of that season but it's still a decent show.
 
I thought Season 2 was good.

Just finished both seasons in a few weeks and thought it was great. Considering reading the book now.
