This. As an advertiser I dont give a fuck that 2 million people downloaded House last week.
This is why these viewers need to be counted and product placement become more of an advertising model instead of the traditional ad-break with 30 second promos
Who said anything about illegal, I was talking about Hulu, netflix, etc. as I stated earlierAnd product placement fees are STILL going to be based on ratings because you can't count illegal downloads.
but at the same time the advertisers don't give a shit about those non-young viewers which is why you see several programs getting axed that have decent strong overall numbers but weak in the recently prepubescent.
I claim license to express severe thoughts against tv because I was raised with NO tv (ABSOLUTELY none). Whenever I see it on I literally almost feel physically sick. In friends omes where they play it constantly in the background, I almost can't stand to be there, fight impulse to leave.
In recent years I've watched some tele shows over the computer. Only a small few.
Partly it's programming on the tv, but it's much more because of the noxious vibe of the tv, which is thought up and decided by brain dead idiots in a narrow self-serving community of producers.
Wanna get into synch with their deadbrained-ness? Just tune into your favorite tv shit and vibrate with the mentality they're pumping forth, just about same as standing in a sewer shower!
YES that dumbs YOU down, WAY down! But they show lots of pretty colors, sounds, chicks, motion. Gotta have it!
Partly, the people who decide your programming are less intelligent than average persons to begin with, and partly it's the vibrations flowing out of the physical tv and over your hypnotically-tranced (and fantastically sensitive) brain, and then your mind. That tv-drone vibe goes deep into you, and you readily accept into your mind whatwhatever they serve up without judiciousness.
Virtually ALL of it is CRAP!
Virtually ALL of it influences you toward the negative.

with ratings across to board going to shit with the traditional accounting method, unless something new becomes stellar it's about as likely to be canned for something else to get that shot.
I just read that Traffic Light was cancelled. I really liked that one.
Not that I liked that show, but how many times was it shown before they cancelled it?
Unless you come out of the gate with a top ten ratings seems like you have little chance to make it more than a year.
Hell Cheers was not even in the top 50 shows its first year, let alone not even top 30 its 2nd. Guess they should have cancelled it.
Then MASH, another show that could not break into the top 30 its first year and that was when there were only 3 channels.

UPDATE 2:15 PM: TOLDJA! Fox just announced the deal at its upfront this afternoon. Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly said production on the animated series will start immediately for a 2013 premiere. He hinted that the deal for the show closed just hours before the presentation today -- just like i told you. In a video, MacFarlane shed some light on his plans for the remake: The characters will look the same but he'll introduce new technology, like "What is the animal version of an iPad? He said that one of the first things he ever drew as a child was characters from the classic series.
EXCLUSIVE: Seth MacFarlane is one of the busiest creatives in show business -- and he just got a lot busier. I've just learned that he's finally realized one of his life's ambitions: to reboot The Flintstones
Thats going to be either crazy awesome or crazy bad. I see little chance for any thing else but a extreme of its sucess or lack of.
I thought House was on its way out? Isn't it coming to a slow death soon?
