In the battle of the November sweeps, CBS is ahead (will Letterman now stop saying nobody is watching his network?) but all the networks, and let's be really progressive here and call The CW a network, are down from 8 to 24% compared to a year ago (with The CW as the biggest loser).
Oh yeah, and hey, do you remember the SAG, that Screen Actors' Guild thingy, and how they still don't have a contract? They're meeting on Thursday with those producer types, for the first time in four months.

I wouldn't count those ratings as a solid result. If yu remember, most people are not watching cabel or didgital TV. Come febuary 2009 it will be vary interresting to see the ratings then. the ratings as it stands shows viewer populations at 10% of the country and when you go digital, it will or can be a 90% population. so the numbers will be much higher and more truthful to what the public really wants to watch at night. Maybe Dave is right, No one is watching CBS and the most popular show is Greys anatomy. Just a thought. OOOH. i hope there will be the end of the reality show. That's just junk!

Interesting perspective Leric. I think the ratings are a lot more accurate than they were just a few years ago - let's remember that advertisers who spend billions of dollars a year to the networks are adamant about accuracy.
I completely agree with you on the reality front.
