Dang it – why are all of my favorite shows on the bubble list? And how am I supposed to choose? Thank goodness FNL has alredy been renewed or I’d be a wreck.
It has been my lifelong dream to be a Nielsen family. Why? Because then I would have faith that at least one person chosen watched shows that I like. It makes me so sad to see that time and again the shows I like get bad ratings while shows I hate are never in danger of cancellation.
We were a Nielsen family for a month – and it made a couple of questions occur to me. 1) how do they count viewers that flip back and forth between shows (this was pre dvr) and 2) What if people just leave their tvs on but aren’t really watching?
I have always wanted to be a Nielsen family too! I just feel like for some reason I could help make a difference for all those shows that are amazing that hardly anyone else watches.
Either that or I could be the person that invents the way to make advertisers and networks happy when it comes to internet viewings. WIN!
Ugh! It was too hard to choose between Chuck and Reaper but I voted for Reaper because I figured it is less likely than Chuck to make it. Love them both! I will never understand why networks can’t deal with be second or third best. Not everyone can have the number one show but make me laugh damnit!
