Whoa. Big shakeup in Big Champagne’s rankings this week. Where to begin? Top Gear, Doctor Who, Eureka, The O.C., Generation Kill and Mad Men all burst into the top twenty. Top Gear and Mad Men we get, but The O.C.?

Weeds also hopped up in the rankings, and the show will most likely have a spot on the list for years to come as Showtime just picked up the show for another two seasons (yay!).

NOTE: Rankings are based on global download volumes as measured by swarm sizes, swarm speeds and file sizes. These data reflect the collective global popularity of all available show content from all seasons current and past, not just the most recent broadcast.
