About Headline Season 0, Episode 0 :

For a television network, it always gives a great feeling if one of their TV Series places on top of the list of some surveys like being the Most Watched TV show of the Year or the Best TV show for that genre, but on the contrary, if you were the producer of the show, will you be proud and happy if your show receives the recognition of being the Most Pirated TV Show of 2013? Game of Thrones, one of the hit fantasy drama TV Series of HBO, has been setting piracy records but turned out to be the clear-cut No. 1 on top of the list of 10 Most Pirated Shows of 2013 with 5.9 million downloads of the June Season 3 finale episode. Meanwhile, Breaking Bad of AMC places second but another record breaker with 4.2 million downloads. The Top 10 features mostly cable shows, including the highest-rated series on television in adults 18-49, AMC’s The Walking Dead (3.6 million downloads), which edged the top-rated broadcast series, CBS’ The Big Bang Theory (3.4 million). There are two popular CBS comedies on the list including How I Met Your Mother (3.0 million). More surprising is the presence of the CW’s Arrow (at No. 10 with 2.2 million) as the CW has its shows readily available online on its website as well as Hulu and Netflix. Rounding out the Top 10 are Showtime’s Dexter (3.1 million), USA Network’s Suits (2.6 million), Showtime’s Homeland (2.4 million), and History’s Vikings (2.3 million).
