There are multiple shows on the air that are a great watch these days, but get horrible ratings. And they keep bringing shows on the air that just plain suck - "Cavemen" for instance. And how is it that, "Dancing with the Stars" is doing so well and "Chuck" is doing so bad? It doesn't make sense to me, but everyone has their own taste. Don't get me wrong, I watched a part of one season of "Dancing with the Stars", but you've seen one star dance, you've seen them all.
Maybe the issue is that there is no possible way to know what people are actually watching. Ratings are a mere statistical analysis of the 25,000 people selected to participate in the Neilsen ratings (www.neilsenmedia.com) that are selected to approximate the actual population in age, race, status, etc. That's right, this group of analysts proclaim that 7 Million viewers (random number) watched "My Name is Earl" last night compared to the 12 Million that watched "Cave Men." But, they only know for certain that a majority of the 25,000 people that have agreed to be monitored by the aforementioned research group were actually watching "Cavemen"... the statistics are just that, STATISTICS.
