Hey check this out..Interesting stuff...

The Nielsens Is Whack: In two weeks, the New York market is implementing local "People Meters," electronic devices that replace the convoluted diary system. Los Angeles and Chicago are soon to follow. Here, my friends, is where we may finally find a sliver of hope. This new ratings system could offer a more accurate picture of who is really watching what--and that could boost some currently underrated shows, especially those with younger and/or minority viewers.

This is seen as the first step toward eliminating "sweeps" periods, which would allow more networks to do shorter seasons of consecutive episodes, à la HBO. That means fewer reruns (hurrah!), which just might--fingers crossed--entice viewers back to quality scripted television.

Meanwhile, people, please try to cut down on the crap! We're all guilty of guilty pleasures--ahem, see below--but remember: The fate of good TV relies on you.

Woah, just looked at the date. I think it may be old news.
