They should only broadcast programs in Spanish. Ratings for the first year would be horrible but would then increase every year after that (unless we build the Wall).
We only watch NCIS, but this last season it has gone to hell.
NetFlix, Britbox, Acorn, Prime are all far superior to anything offered by the networks
ROKU rules
Maybe they need to combine some of their shows.
I’d like to see a show where a bunch of 8 year olds cook some guy that was trying to survive in the jungle where he was singing songs and dancing with people with black briefcases.
Right now I’m watching Blue Bloods, Chicago PD and The Enemy Within. I still watch the original Law and Order when nothing else is on.
I’ve wound up watching Hallmark Mysteries & Movies for classic Columbo, Monk marathons. I am learning to appreciate Psych.
And now high rated Big Bang Theory has left CBS
I have not watched network tv in at least 2 decades. I hope they continue to slide until they are all the way into the abyss. And May PBS and NPR follow.
Todays’s reminder that the season “Key Demo (A18-49)” finish order is determined by the amount of NFL football a network has in primetime.
Entertainment show ratings are tiny, nearly equivalent for the “big 4”, and irrelevant to the finish order.

Worth repeating.
Nielsen’s ratings business is measuring TV AD VIEWING.
The fact that they still measure program viewing is an artifact of the time when they couldn’t measure ads separately.
To the question below, Nielsen does measure streaming ad viewing.

How much less confusion would there be if they were known as “Ad ratings” instead of “TV ratings”?
And where ratings finish in the spring, is where they’ll start in the fall, and drift down from there.

I haven’t watched anything but local news and the SCI channel in years. Sometimes Motor Trend. Nothing else is worth my (generally worthless) time. I’m retired with real stuff to keep me entertained.
Dittos! My watching is limited to METV, INSP, AntennaTV and TCM.
Broadcast TV with its reliance on commercial interruptions is a dying delivery system.
The product quality is abysmal and getting worse every year.
Did you see the re-enactment of All in the Family and the Jeffersons the other night before a live audience? What did you think of it?
Clicking through the channels i ALWAYS skip the 3-5 major networks.
not worth my time ESPECIALLY during the daytime.
