1 (and part of 4)) No matter how you cut it, it is a top 50 or top 25 show. At a minimum, it is higher rated than 2/3 of everything else on TV.
2 Nielsen is obsolete because even if one watches on TV, it could be Tivo'd. Nielsen captures an ever DECREASING portion of televsion viewers -- those that actually sit on a couch and watch a show as it airs. New Media viewers don't schedule their time around a network. Nielsen is a dinosaur in the Old Media world.
3 There are no stats to argue this, so we will just have to agree to disagree
4 CBS' crisis is more that 20,000 pounds of peanuts. It is a public releations nightmare. Full page ads are in this coming Tuesday's Variety Weekly and Hollywood Review. News coverage is already jumped to mainstream with ABC and (ironically) all major CBS affliciates running it. Power blogger Michelle Malkin has front paged it, which means Drudge will follow shortly. Love them or hate them, they command 20+ million hits per day between them. CBS is stuck in neutral and cannot pimp their new season lineup until they resolve this.
