There’s nothing stupid about the suits, the ratings suck. The job of the suits is to get viewers and sell commercials, the best show ever made without viewers is a show that should be canceled. Journeyman debuted at #43 sank to #80 and has “rebounded” to the mid 60s. Cancel it.
Star Trek was exactly one of those shows, the fans, resurrected it the rest is history.
I am one of those fans and as to the other garbage on tv this is very interesting and beyond the reality tv realm, fantasy at is best as far as I am concerned.
How about the shows that have good ratings, then they move it around so many times, no one can find it anymore?
Yes, IF the ratings were something that was actuality based on reality. However if you have ever participated in Rating a show you would no its akin to "throwing the bones" and "reading the stars".
Tivo and the DVR services viewing numbers differ greatly from Nielson. Which should be a red flag to anyone in the industry who is paid to use such numbers but Nielson is a Big Business and inertia is hard to resist I guess.
