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

J. Lo's Gonna Be Pissed!
If I do watch any TV (Jericho, Terminator,2 & 1/2 men, American Dad) I use my DVR. I hate loud ass commercials. Has anyone really bought a car based on their ads and them even being constant. Look at every town with mass amounts of car lots, new and used, all filled. Something is fucked with our country to have jobs just pouring out tons of cars not too many people can afford or care to buy. Jobs, just for jobs. A few get rich while being comfortable with their old production lines catered to mostly inefficient designs. We need to build more constructive things based on the changing times and our noble concerns, like windmills/generators, biological fuel sources and a recirculating enclosed exhaust system.
shocking! why watch TV
I for one used to watch tv about maybe 6 hours / week NOW, I sometimes turn it on to watch the news, or those 2 British ladies that clean people's houses. other than that, tv has become so disappointing and it is not just because of the writers strike, it was like that before the strike. I for one, am not interested any more…

Wow this is prolly one of the best things to happen to america in awhile (mainly 8 yrs !) . Seriously without the bs of tv totally domanating ppls lives they can get heathier and get involved with the fuck up ness of the world now . We been stupid zombies for long enough with the never ending stream of shows that keep going in circles . So take this time to be with ur family and shit . The internet roxs ! Oh and search in google tv links cc and it will lead u the best site ever . It has links to the newest movies and a ton of episodes on it . I love it ! So screw tv and the fucking commercials !

one tree hill…hands down
one tree hill is amazing, please watch it you'll become addicted
Is this a surprise?
.
1. TV programs SUCK
.
2. With TV, people only the have the option of watching boring, un-entertaining same-old, same-old useless sleep-inducing crap. Limited and uninteresting.
.
3. At least on the internet a person can control the amount of stupidty they want to see.. (on the TV you get it on every station). Rather than being subjected to it, they can avoid it and never have to come across it at all. There is way more variety and possibilities of all sorts of different kinds of entertainment which are LIMITLESS on the internet.
.
Someone who's looking for more than idiocracy will most certainly turn off that selected tv program crap and find they can get better more varied, pleasures elsewhere.
.
Lastly, TV is soooooooo last century!! Unless THEY can come up with better programming (which I'm thinking they are incapable of…….) then people are going to stop watching.
.
IT'S ALL UP TO THEM.
Hills baby!
and of course u Perez. Thats it.
One word, Monk.
Who gives a shit about tv now. Time to cancel the cable. Screw it.
Is there anything good on TV still worth watching?

Yeah, Nip/Tuck ,and "Everybody loves Raymond's reruns".
Thank you Tivo.
I haven't watched a network in 5+ years. But we do watch the Disney Channel. Constantly.
And some PBS, TLC, Bravo, Discovery, truTV - but like 2 hours of that stuff a week.
LOST AND THE WIRE ARE THE BEST SHOWS ON T.V
NOTHING ELSE, TIRED OF THE SAME OLD BULLSHIT
AND PEREZ I WATCHED YOUR SHOW YOUR SHOW

Well at least all the good shows are coming back next fall.
HEROES
Just Reno 911.
and american idol
Fuck the reality bullshit. Fucking family guy and simpsons are the best shows ever!! Shows like these help ratings because it is the good in america not reality show watching douche bags.
The only use the TV screen has for me is to watch rented movies and Turner Classic movies. The only thing I watched on TV was the Oscars.
Everything else is geared to people with IQ below 50, cheap, gross, stupid plots, with endless commercials. It just sucks!
Hells yeah there's plenty of good stuff still on TV!!!! American Idol, CSI, How I Met your Mother, Nip/Tuck, Heroes, LOST, Desperate Housewives, SNL, and MOOOORE! This is such a stupid question. The problem is not the programming - it's all the moronic youth out there today who have the attention span of a gnat! They prefer internet videos because they're short and lacking in story. Thanks to the internet and cell phones, young folks are used to getting exactly what they want right away and as a result, their brains are evolving to the point where they can't focus on anything for longer than 5 mintues! pathetic!!!

this is weird because earlier i was just thinking how i never watch tv anymore, and i wondered if ratings were dropping.
and then i read this!
for the younger crowd there is nothing good on tv anymore besides One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl.
LOST, American Idol, Amazing Race, Survivor, Law & Order, Two and a half Men, The View, Ellen, Real Time with Bill Maher, House, ANY OTHERS??
JERICHO!!! If you havent seen it your missing out, post apocalyptic show with great cast and writing!! probably one of the best on right now!
I definitely watch alot less tv lately, but i like to watch Judge Judy in the afternoons and reruns of family guy and sometimes Jon Stewart and Chelsea Lately.
The radio people finally have their revenge, after 50 years. Ha ha.
Pushing Daisies. Visually stunning, a cross between Amelie and Tim Burton movies. The Tudors with gayface Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Gossip Girl and Entourage to indulge the silly in you.
one tree hill and lost!!!!
id only go back to tv for more BtVS

-The Office
-Gossip Girl
….wait, thats all I can think of. lol.
I would say The O.C., but its not on anymore!
rofl.
The only television show I watch religiously is The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Not a word of a lie, the man is delightful and his show is fantastic. And, I think CBS spends about 10 bucks a week producing it.
I hardly ever watcvh TV any more. In fact, I haven't watched any TV at all in like 3 weeks. Maybe if the networks would put someting on other than CRAP to watch, and show less annoying commercials crammed into every two minutes of it, then I'd bother to tune in.
Frankly, I'm SICK of advertising. I only watch DVDs to avoid having to look at commercials.
MY THEORY IS THAT PEOPLE DONT WATCH TV BECAUSE THEY ARE SICK OF HAVING TV TRYING TO PUSH THE SICK DISGUSTING HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA DOWN THE WORLD'S THROAT
THE REASON PEOPLE WATCH FOX AND NOT ABC NBC OR CBS IS THAT THOSE OTHER CHANNELS PUSH THE GAY AGEND AND FOX DOESNT. PEOPLE DONT WANT THEIR KIDS SEE PROGRAMS WHERE HOMOSEXUALITY IS SEEN AS SOMETHING OTHER THAN A SICK PERVERSION
I did not watch much tv, but with my new dvr I was getting into new shows.. when the writers FUCKED me over, so fuck them !
I'll still watch L&O SVU, American Idol, and Dexter when it starts, but fuck the rest.
Dexter and only dexter!
I've been reading at night, and going to sleep earlier (neither of which is a bad thing!!!)…..
in all this insanity they CANCELED the series LAS VEGAS!
crap like according to jim is renewed but a show many people love is canceled mid season? it didn't even have an ending!!
join the support, google las vegas finale and see what you can do!
JERICHO on CBS is the only show worth watching
Eli Stone is worth watching!
I LOVE TV.
every1 does
Supernatural in the CW is AWESOME! Those guys are so good looking!
There would be if you'd do a TV show!
hinthint.
:)
Yes, Nip/Tuck !!!!
So of course people are going to stay on the internet more often especially since they aren't showing the shows you would normally watch religiously. SAVE GREY
Well you can watch TV on the internet.. I live in Denmark so all the american shows I want to watch aren't on, but at the moment do I only watch Skins (I know it is not american but britsh)
Besides the internet, I work, work out, and sleep as much I can. That about sums it up. TV is last on my list. It's sooooo boring.
Have you SEEN MOONLIGHT best show out there on CBS,And the lead Actor Alex O'Loughlin is SOOOOOOO HOT!!!!!
Friday Night Lights, The Wire and the Office!! Watch them please.
Mid April Desperate Housewives is BACK! HUGE ratings and better than ever! Check it out!
Kyle XY. I am 37 and I love this stupid show. I piss my kids off and ask them everytime a new person is on the screen,"Do they have a belly button?" Fun shiz.
DEXTER!

Re: Obama + Farrakhan = Disaster –
You know not of what you speak. You could not be more wrong. Do some research before you do FauxNews' work & spread lies.
Why yes, there is a couple shows still worth watching… America's Next Top Model and LOST (the best show EVER created!)
WHO WANTS TO WATCH ALL THAT TRASH ON TV? E! MTV and VH1 are soooo disgusting that even my kids say those channels are for the "stupid" people of America! Internet gives us a choice. Don't Miss Television and I especially dont miss the Movies! STUPID FUCKING IDIOTS RUNNING HOLLYWOOD THESE DAYS - THEY'RE SUCH LOSERS - ALL THEY CAN DO IS MAKE SHITTY REMAKES!!! FUCK EM ALL!
I like to watch the medical discovery channel. That's about it lately. The Office is a good show but just not keeping my attention anymore. I'll always love Conan but I can't stay up that late! YAY for the internet!
Boo to TV. It makes me happy that the moron writers aren't getting the standing ovation they expected. People have had too much time to find better things to do now. It's gonna be hard to get people interested in TV again. I can barely stand it lately.
The Wire
Reaper
Chuck
Welcome to the Captain
Greens & Grains
Dinner Impossible
Attack of the Show
Ace of Cakes
Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles
The Simpsons
Family Guy
The Daily Show
The Colbert Report
Trading Spaces
Reno 911!
CSI
I'm sure there are others.
HBO still rocks: 1. the addictive 'in treatment'; 2. decent comedy specials & documentaries - like def jam & christo's 'the gates' of NYC; and 3. count down to 'big love'
The office, that show is still hillarious!
BRAVO !
