Do Leaked TV Pilots Help or Hurt Shows?
Posted By: Brian Leahy - Thursday, August 09, 2007 11:22 AM

Keeping things off of the internet is one of the hardest things in the world. Once something gets uploaded it's almost impossible to take it down. This is the viral age and it's becoming increasingly easy to find television pilots available for download before they air.

Last year, the pilot for Weeds was leaked as well as Heroes, which might account for some of their success. The creators certainly seem to like these leaks, but the networks don't.

Do leaks help or hurt television shows and/or the networks they are on? Are some of these leaks done by the networks themselves?

Today, Kevin will debate this with Joel Keller, Assistant Editor for TVSquad.com, and Michael Schneider, Television Editor for Variety.

I'm vomiting my feed because there is no layla

You have to be really talentless, to make fun talentless youtube or godtube, but promote pornvue.

I like Olivia, but I'd rather see her do ladies ninja warrior than eat food.

Does anyone have a link to the Bionic woman or Battle star galactica or smallville or lost or heros or supernatural next seasons first episodes?
...and if not why are you talking about it, we'd love to dee leaked pilots.
I want to see Heavenly Sword the movie If I get to do it will Olivia act in it for me?
Lastly, how about a few more anime reviews guy there is so little said about such great stuff.

i've seen most of the pilots because i'm a leet haxor BWAAHAHA

but no really... the sarah conner chronicles was amazing. One of the best shows pilots i've ever seen. Really a great step up over that abortion T3.

The thing that bummed me out was how bad Bionic Woman was. It didn't impress me at all. It could use a bit of humor or some tongue in cheek goodness.

Oh and can we stop playing the theme from the 28 days later series in movie trailers and TV shows?
