Bionic Woman, Other New Shows Leaked Online
TV networks are finding it difficult to keep new fall shows under wraps:
At least half a dozen highly anticipated broadcast network fall pilots have been leaked online. Copies of NBC’s “Bionic Woman,†ABC’s “Pushing Daisies,†The CW’s “Reaper†and several other shows were available Friday for illegal download on sites such as Torrent Spy, The Pirate Bay and Mininova. Most of the titles appear to have been uploaded within the past week. The first copy of “Bionic†was listed as uploaded two days ago, while the earliest “Reaper†file was date-marked seven days ago. Other leaked shows include Fox’s midseason “The Terminator†spin-off “The Sarah Connor Chronicles,†ABC’s “Cavemen,†and NBC’s “Chuck†and “Lipstick Jungle.â€
Of course, if your pilot is good you want people to see it. I could even see a network or some studio insider leaking a copy, just to create some buzz.
