No One Is Watching TV - Spending More Time On The Internet!!!

Filed under: TV News

The effects of the strike are really being felt!

With just a few days left in February for sweeps, most networks are finding it hard to keep their ratings and viewership up.

Surprisingly, though, Fox is expected to win in the ratings with a towering 6.9 average among key adults in the age 18-49 demographic. This is a huge jump at 41% higher than last year. Fox is averaging an estimated 17.8 million viewers.

What's been helping Fox this year? Well, having the most watched Super Bowl in 8 years didn't hurt, with 97.5 million viewers. American Idol is also helping by averaging 27.6 million viewers.

Behind Fox…

ABC is in second place and down 21%.

Ya, the Oscars tanked! Lowest rated ever.

NBC is in third place for sweeps, followed by CBS and the CW network.

Is there anything good on TV still worth watching?

I don't watch TV anymore, especially MTV, back in the day that was Music Television. Now it's Reality Television. MTV should change their name to RTV.

TV is so dissappointing to me now. I have nothing left to live for. Nothing to get me through the day. No reason to wake up in the morning.
Maybe I'm going overboard. But maybe not.

Oh Perezzie! There's lots of stuff worth watching! 'Breaking Bad' on AMC is kicking serious ass, 'SNL' just came back with their writers and a seriously funny new comedienne, and hey, for superficial fun you can't beat Bravo's reality programming. ('Top Chef' and 'Real Housewives of NYC'??? Can't wait!)

Big Brother, Jericho, ANTM, Idol. It's alright. The strike killed a lot of good shows like Ugly Betty, Gossip Girl, Grey's, Desperate Housewives, etc.. in my opinion anyway.

79

prezzer, I have been online, watching cable on demand, watching BBC America - I do NOT miss the pampered, overpaid stars of American TV. Especially that dumb asshole, Hayden Panniterre, or Fat Derriere, or whatever the fuck her name is - she was on a local show, the Junkies, on WJFK in DC and she was as vapid and stupid as Anna Nicole Smith in her prime. What am I doing with my time?

Bye bye white folks! A vote for Obama is a vote for disaster. He has NOT denounced his disdain for Farrakhan. Farrakhan wishes the demise of all white people.

Most bogus stats ever. How can there be "sweeps" when shows are either not on or they are reruns? I've seen no new Boston Legal or Smallville in two weeks. One new show for the month does not a sweep make.

Just watched pilot episode of Quarterlife about a group of 20 somethings last night I thought it was good. Also Breaking Bad very weird but good on American Movie Classics about a wonky high school professor cooking Meth and Lipstick Jungle from the creators of Sex in the City a definite plus for chickvision. What can I day I am bed ridden after a massive car smash up so tele, computer and music is very important to me now.

Beyonce SHINES At Revel! WERKS Single Ladies & Halo! Watch!!

Sparkle it up, gurl!! Let us see that seXXy shine!!

Still thrilled from Beyonce's intimate behind-the-scenes video, we're ready to DANCE after watching this Single Ladies performance!!

The crowd was WILD for Bey when she made her first stage debut since giving birth to beautiful Blue Ivy. And from the looks of this performance, she gave 'em their money's worth and then some!

But don't even get us started on Halo (below)! She even tributes Whitney Houston with
