    Hates that I live in a world where 25.53 million watch American Idol and only 2.52 watch BOT! This is what I hate about television.

  • Dave

    32 million?!?! Really?

  • Nick

    And this, my friends, is why other networks go dark with reruns on certain nights. Why waste good programming, when viewers instead flock to absolute lowest-common-denominator trash TV? Americans have brought on the demise themselves, and are too ignorant to comprehend it.

  • Hil

    Add together American Idol and Biggest Loser… and there are more trashy tv viewers in America than there are humans living in Australia.

    So much for the theory that Paula not on America Idol would cause ratings to suffer. Good Grief that’s a lot of people watching that show.

    add up the 9pm slot and there were 60 million people watching TV on those few channels alone. America was on the couch last night! I WAS! But I was watching the last Big Love and Chuck episodes.

  • Ace

    I was watching BoT and laughing hysterically.

  • Andrea

    I agree with pretty much everyone here. Why watch trash like American Idol when there are amazing, hilarious shows like Better off Ted on? I hate how they cancel awesome sitcoms and dramas for reality TV, I’ve seen it before and now I fear BoT is going the same way…However, I did find this petition the other night http://www.savebetteroffted.com./ I didn’t create it but I would really love to save this show and from what I’ve read on this page, a lot of people agree, so if you’re interested, please sign! Thanks!
