What happens Evan, is that you upload pieces of the show to different people. Then, it is up to them to distribute their piece to others, so they get that piece also (but not directly from you). When you are in Super-Seed mode, your bt client looks to see who is sharing the pieces you give them the fastest/the most, and then they give priority to that person to get more pieces. So, a show gets distributed faster if you are in Super-Seed mode. If you aren't in SS mode, then your bittorrent client just keeps handing pieces out randomly to the users and counts on them to do the right thing and distribute those pieces to others. Here is a blurb about it:
