To put these numbers in perspective, there are 300+ millions Americans. Less than 6% of them cared enough to watch anything on network TV last night.

Maybe DVR hurts weekend programs even more than other nights. People catch up on what they missed during the week (good shows) instead of watching the Friday-Saturday crap.

300+ million Americans, but only 120+million homes with televisions.

The numbers aren't as drastic as people think around here.

So? I was talking about viewers, not households.

These numbers are horrible by any measure.

Well, in no way is it the viewers fault.

If the nets would just program on Saturday nights, even if it were for an hour. I guess we are all just too lazy.

The four nets seem to total about a 15-16 share in any given hour. So this means that there are 6x as many viewers watching some other channel, right?

There are viewers; they're just on cable, apparently.

You'd think if anything there would be MORE airing on Saturday nights these days, since we're all being told by the media that more & more people are spending less & less time away from the home and socializing is on the downturn.

Sure, internet may be a major culprit and competition for teevee, but for goodness sake the nets could at least attempt to attract an audience with vaguely compelling programming. Apparently that's thinking too far outside the box.

Was it just me, or did anyone else notice The Mole promo flash for about half a second after the normal promos on ABC during Desperate Housewives? Was that subliminal messaging, or just a mistake? It happened like 5 times.

Games, Games, Games and.... More Games

PIFeedback.com is becoming a place for games. Games about TV and the ratings.
Here are what we have available going into the May Sweeps.


The Daily Game
Each day we pick one show and you guess how many Total Viewers it will get and it's 18-49 demo rating. Accumulate Medals to see how well you can do with the other players.


The PI Feedback Challenge
This game, you pick 5 shows, one from each network, that you will think will do the best over a 4 week period. Play more games and make a run for the PIFC Cup, a "season" long race for who does best in the PIFC. New Games debut on Thursdays/Fridays of each week.


The PI Feedback Challenge May Sweeps Game
An extension of the PI Feedback Challenge game. For the may Sweeps, there is a new twist. Each day while using "Berman Bucks", you guess what you think the 18-49 demo ratings will be for the shows you select. The winner will be the person who has the most Berman Bucks at the end of the May Sweeps.


The 2nd Annual Lemon Awards
Help us celebrate and award the WORST in TV this season. Part 1 voting is now live. Select who you think is the Worse Actor is in a Drama Series. What was the Worse Strike-Filler program? and who will win this years Lifetime Un-Achievement Award?


2007-08 Cancellation Clock Contest
And, would it be okay to use this list (thanks, Obveeus) as the order of cancellation dates, using "last episode aired"? This would mean FOX's Nashville was the real first cancellation of 2007-08 because it last aired in September 2007.

And, please comment on the three threads concerning sports television. Those who are anti-Billy Packer fans might want to check one of these threads out!

Congratulations to Douglas for winning his 5th game of the Fall PIFC Cup Season and taking the PIFC Fall Cup.

tvfan300 did continue to build on his consecutive game points streak, now at 54 games.

Check out the PIFC Cup Web site for all the current standings, stats and more.

The Saturday numbers used to be there. Apparently, Marc was a bit groggy from the weekend this morning (Monday) and edited away the Saturday numbers with an updated Friday document.
