What a cool thing to do, I wish somebody had done this when they cancelled Firefly!

Right, and I think that is part of the break down. The world has moved on so far beyond this way of counting peoples tastes that I am truly surprised that the networks have not adopted them.

And just for further clarity, I don't know whether you're aware of it or not, but you really are only truly counted if you have an actual Nielsen box. And one Nielsen box is supposed to be representative of like 60,000 households. There have been different numbers reported, but there's only around 25,000 Nielsen families in the United States. The networks take the Nielsen numbers as “Gospel.” And these very few Nielsen people are the ones that get to decide what we watch on TV.

I was amazed when I got home from vacation to find out so much had happened. It's so cool!!! I've been a Jericho Ranger since the beginning and have played my part in the effort to save the show. This is the only show I've ever felt so strongly about that I wanted to go to the effort of writing letters, buying nuts, sending postcards, making donations for magazine ads, billboards, and the commercials.
The Jericho fans I've gotten to know are great people from so many different areas and ways of life. I'm honored to have worked and played along side of each of them.
Thanks for your write up.

I'm totally with you on this my friend…its rediculous they ignore the other data, and most of the save journeyman campaign was in argument against how NBC counted all their dataa, but they wouldnt budge… I have no idea why, perhaps to support advertisers who bought those time slots… I dunno…

What a joke…Do they realize that was how the American version of the Office was saved, from iTunes downloads?

Why on earth would you ignore those numbers? People are watching them online when they have the time to do so. Well, if that is there mentality, then I hope that they are not counting DVD sells either since people who buy them are not watching them in their designated time slots…

Nope. I know jina will love me mentioning Journeyman, but… NBC blatantly came out and said we will NOT even reivew any online numbers for consideration for renewing the show. they said it should stand on its on merits within its designated timeslots, not on any data from Tivo recordings or online viewings, it only mattered what was watched at that time slot. It was not only ignorant for them to do so, but tends to set the trend for the others as well. Pretty soon everyone will be charging for one piece of baggage to board an airline… oh wait a minute…
