Just saw the pilot ep. to NBC's new drama The Black Donnellys. It wasn't bad, in my opinion. I've never seen The Sopranos, though, so not sure how it compares. It has the potential to be quite interesting or extremely repetitive and boring, but for now, it's caught my attention.

I have a question. Why are the pilot episodes so easily accessed all the time. Do the networks just want less viewers on the shows debut or is it a security issue?

The idea is that people will see the pilot online, want to watch it again on TV, and tell their friends to watch it, leading to more viewers, not less.

Does it work? I have no idea.
