Talk about bias! One reason why I don't even watch the awards anymore!

As we all know, ratings don't always equal quality. And, above all else, I've gotten used to the fact that people are sheep. If someone or something tells them a program is popular, then they watch. Not because they actually love it, but because they want watercooler material. It doesn’t bother me that I only watch two shows on this list (NCIS and House).

We see more of the commercials than the people who watch live and leave the room to go to the bathroom, get food, or even sit and talk to each other. (Obviously, not every DVR watcher is paying attention while fast forwarding, and not every live watcher is leaving the room--but I think the networks and advertisers are oversimplifying if they think like you say.)

I, too, only watch "desperate", 'grey's" and 'survivor." LOL I do believe the shows that register in the top 20 are all CBS (for the most part) and the CBS viewer is one who doesn't 'change the channel.' My Grandmother, God rest her soul, was a devout CBS watcher. Wouldn't turn the TV. LOL Afraid it'd 'tear up the knob." LOL And I guess, Neilsens have a lot of older viewers filling out those forms.

I haven't watched a non-super bowl commercial since 2004. If I "catch-up" to live TV while watching something, I take a break and do something else until I have enough of a buffer. That's the way it is. That's why I'm totally fine with some form of product placement. HBO and Showtime do it all the time. Doesn't bother me. I don't care if TV characters go to a bar and order a "Miller Lite" instead of a beer. Especially if it might mean that show can make some extra money and stay on the air. I DVR everything.
