Thank you, Nilly! May 7th. I'm so excited I can't stand it. I think we will see it air on the network.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

The networks know the Nielsens are crap, but they're also the only tracking system they have. (Tivo's viewer tracking is far more detailed and comprehensive, but advertisers subtract those numbers from the larger Nielsen ratings because Tivo-ers don't watch the ads.)

For a while last season, I'd play the VM episode on my TiVo, the night it aired, as I was going to bed. I'd shut off my TV from the TV set. That way, it looked like I watched it with the ads.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Cable networks should provide viewing figures back to Nielsen and the like, really. Cable boxes have return paths back to the network, so can supply data back.

Re: the network worried about getting a bad rep for cancelling serialized dramas... from what I can gather, that's kinda not far from the truth.
I'm curious Jackal. What are you basing this statement on? Gather from where?

I've been getting under people's feet at the Drive offices for the last two weeks.

Fox isn't a cable network, it's broadcast. Totally different numbers.

I didn't mean Fox in particular, Jessica, although I'd assume Fox is shown on localised cable networks. Unless it's set up differently from the UK.
