They're also cancelling Breaking Bad. Not NBC but AMC.
Whao what

As in, no new season coming? Well at least they ended it on a high note and not in the middle of something happening.

Anyone that seriously thinks P&R is bad needs to just watch a random non-season 1 episode. If you try to introduce someone to the show by starting with the first episode, you're gonna have a bad time.

Well, the rest of the B8 ratings gurus (sans Cokes) have pretty much said what there is to be said.

Some are indeed predicting precisely 17 episodes for a Community renewal for syndication's magic number.

That's probably what will happen with Community, I think. I'd be shocked if P&R didn't get a full season though.

OBJECTION!

You made that post BEFORE anybody even brought up the idea of it being false! It's more likely that you posted something you thought to be true due to misreading, were proven wrong, and then tried to backpedal!

It's a stupid outdated system that does not give a real showing of who is watching what shows.

Only 5000 homes are part of the ratings or so. The standard deviation is pretty huge. There is a pretty strict selection criteria for who gets a box and who does not.

But Thursday is dominated by CBS. It has big bang (ugh) but also the Mentalist and Person of Interest.

I don't really get what's wrong with NBC. Awake is one of their best non comedies in a while, but it has terrible ratings, most likely because it's on the thursday night power slot against the Mentalist.

Nielsen also doesn't take into account people that DVR shows and watch them later.

It's completely broken.

For some reason I thought you were saying 'lol' at ratings analysts basing anything on them, that's all.

It doesn't take them into account because the vast majority of them aren't going to willingly subject themselves to commercials and advertisers are paying for the shows.

I don't like a lot of the things Nielsen stands for and I'm not 'fond' of this one either but it's not surprising all things considered.

Not to my knowledge. You actually get like a box for your tv that is hooked up and it tracks what shows the tv is tuned into (but not actually if you're in the room). I'm sure a few people just run a random show sometimes to boost its ratings.

Not yet, but there are plans to in the future.

Hulu in particular is tracked though, just not by Nielsen. Unknown if it makes any difference at all to the networks, but it's still not where the big money is at.

Anybody saying Parks and Rec looks bad need to actually watch it.

It's so good.

Also, Ron Swanson.


Honestly, this. If Ron Swanson isn't one of your favorite sitcom characters, you probably only watched the horrible first season.

Now it's announced. Only 13 though. NBC can't do math, or they know something we don't.

It's not a last season announcement, though.

That doesn't have a source either though

And yeah Nielsen boxes account for like 1% of modern TV watchers. Hollywood is stuck firmly in the past.

TVByTheNumbers actually relays actual information in these events. Or they have in the past, anyways. They're not the only site in the past 30 minutes to report this.
