Only five days until the start of the May Sweep, and this year the networks have loaded up their schedules with specials, extended episodes and other Sweep stunts.
The 2009 May Sweep Prediction Game is also just days away. This year, the Sweep runs from Thursday Thursday April 23rd to Wednesday May 20th (the last day of the regular season).
You may be wondering how did the top seven broadcast networks fare in the 2008 May Sweep last season?

So now it's your turn to predict the outcome of the 2009 May Sweep. Using the template below, state your predicted viewer and A18-49 averages for each of the seven networks. As the Sweep progresses, check under last nights results for my nightly Sweep reporting to see how you are faring with your prediction.
When the sweep is over, I'll score it (like tv-aholic does in the daily game) so that the person who was closest at predicting the 14 Sweep result numbers will join Zedman2 (February 2008, November 2008 co-winner), Dumont (May 2008), mushu_jj (July 2008), tvfan300 (November 2008 co-winner) and Megatron (February in March 2009) in the SweepMaster club and take the crown as the sixth Sweep Master.
NB - Beginning with this Sweep Prediction Game, please make your A18-49 prediction using two decimal points. This will help to eliminate ties.
