Do your viewing habits count?

My Sun Sentinel article on how TV ratings are measured and how some local stations have questioned the system (image above of NBC's The Playboy Club which was canceled last fall due to low ratings.)

    Yes, it was. And I cried non-stop for 3 days! ;)

  2. Thanks Bill! I liked that show too along with ABC's "Pan Am." I was born in the wrong era.

  3. There is no doubt in my mind that Nielsen ratings are inaccurate and that their sample sizes are too small to reflect what's really going on.

    Unfortunately, there's not other way short of letting everyone who wants to be a part of the sample to be a part of the sample.
