TV Shows Scheduled This Fall Already Available on P2P Networks

Although this summer’s TV season has just taken off, pilot episodes of TV programs planned for this fall have already started to circulate on the peer-to-peer networks. File sharers are already voicing opinions about shows whose titles are not yet finalized.

We’ll present you with an overview of pilots (that have been made available via p2p), first impressions coming from file sharers and brief show summaries collected by NewTeeVee; (The links direct you to the websites of the TV networks where you can get more information on the TV show in question).

Do Not Disturb aka The Inn: producers haven’t made their mind about the title of this “hilarious workplace comedy set at one of New York City’s hottest and hippest hotels” but apparently FOX intends to premiere the program this fall. Jason Bateman is the director of the pilot which found its way to the p2p networks on June 20. If we believe file sharers the show is rather disappointing.

Fringe: this is a FOX SF show from J.J. Abrams which is scheduled on September 9. TV fans first had the chance (thanks, of course to a leak) to watch the pilot on June 14 and they seemed pretty thrilled with it.

True Blood: Taken from HBO.com, this fall we’re in for some new drama focused on “a group of vampires who settle in a small town in Louisiana”. The TV networks plans to launch it on 9 next month. The pilot episode of the show didn’t impress the exigent file sharing audience rather mocking True Blood.

Leverage: A new TNT program whose air date was not revealed and which deals with “a team of thieves, hackers and grifters who act as modern-day Robin Hoods”. The recently leaked pilot (a few days ago) received flattering reviews from file sharers.

Raising the Bar: As TNT presents it, the show is an outlook into the “the lives and cases of young lawyers who have been friends since law school”, to be premiered in September. Not so many commentaries on the pilot (leaked on 06/21) but one is pretty obvious: “Just what we need, another legal drama.”

Pretty Handsome: is an upcoming FX show whose protagonist is a family guy who finds out that he is transsexual. The air date remains unknown but the pilot “got out” on June 20 and received both good and bad reviews (the latter in the form of homophobic reactions).
