I was reading the Heroes thread and someone mentioned something about the show "The 4400". I remember watching that when it first came on tv. Seemed like an awesome show. Somewhere along the line though, I lost track of what was going on. I doubt I had DVR at the time and I'm the type of person who doesn't like to miss an episode. Irregardless, that isn't the show that I want to bring up.
The show that I LOVED that was ripped from me was Jericho. I didn't even watch it on tv, I found out about it a year or two after it was originally aired. I downloaded all the episodes and absolutely loved it. But for some reason (poor ratings?) it was canceled after an epic first season.
That leads me to a question. How are ratings calculated exactly? I understand the general concept. But let's say I record two shows on my DVR. Does that show that I 'watched' those shows? What if the shows were recorded at the same time? Do they both get 'watched'?
How about if I flip back and forth between two programs? How do they calculate family size when they calculate viewers? Is every tv 1 viewer. Or is there an average?
These are all very curious questions to me, as with new technology I would suspect their measurings are very inaccurate. And if Heroes gets canceled due to them being inaccurate I'm going to be pissed!!!
But yes, Jericho was an awesome show. I miss it
