I think you guys aren't understanding my point. Let's take Damages, for example. During its first season, it had an average audience of over a million. Its 2nd season barely had an average of 700k. If we consider cable television actually gained viewers from 2007 til now, it's really unacceptable such amazing show had lower ratings instead of higher.

With Damages, the back and forth story telling put people off.

Wow, awful numbers for Gossip Girl!

Btw, die ABC, DIE!!!

[Love]

Last week's episode of The Game had more viewers than 90210. That says a lot, since 90210 is advertised (The Game isn't) and it caters to Caucasian teenagers.
Please CW, don't cancel The Game.

[tcatron565]

CBS numbers are a little low for Monday... at least TBBT, HIMYM, and CSI:M.
I still love seeing Medium as the top show on ABC for Mondays! Next week 2 hour special!

AI still looks like it's getting hit by the DVR and TiVo things. So many people do that now.

[cooksgenes]

ABC is still strong haha I love ABC. Please dont give me another break till the season finales, im tired of it already.

They were hoping it would FLOP Like Cadillac Records.

too bad beyonce acutally presented herself as a respectable actress in cadillac records, unlike in the abysmal train-wreck of a "movie" that is obsessed.

[Lee!!]

Answering above comments...

The Game is pretty much dead cause the CW sucks are choosing the right programming

CBS Monday is stronger than ever minus CSI: Miami
Medium is on NBC not ABC
Everything is being hit by DVring but it is the future and Nielsen will have to change even more to adapt and advertisers will have to realize this in order for some shows to survive more seasons

All networks are finishing up their shows and no more breaks for the rest of the season. The summer season begins in a few weeks so everything will be done by then

[Mr. Duff]

The Amazing Race down a bit but still staying on the 10M mark!

I hope Jaime and Cara wins a leg. Although I doubt it now because it's already the top 4. I just hope they make it to the top 3.

[ToMmY]

WOW @ The Mentalist!

Well, I thought BBT and HIMYM were a little low, but maybe that's just me.
Woops. LOL!
They really need to. Incorporating the number of recordings or something like that they really need to add it. It wouldn't surprise me to find out shows like American Idol actually having rating near 30 million still and the CSIs that are losing power might just be normal, just more people recording them, etc.

Also, I just noticed Sit Down, Shut Up's ratings.

Wow. It honestly deserves those ratings.

[Dancefloor]

I think that people stopped watching because of the departure of some big character. I don't know his name, but I read something about it.
