Funny to see an NBC production at #1.
ReplyDeleteIt's sports, though, the only thing holding the network up at this point.
I love that The Big Bang Theory is up there! I think it has the potential to be taken for granted, but it's great to see that advertisers recognize how unique it really is.
ReplyDeleteCW doesn't even place xD
ReplyDeleteNow thats the truth!
ReplyDeleteThey couldn't give a horse hockey how unique it is (which it isn't). They only care about how many people in the right age group are watching it.
ReplyDeletesooo Fox $$$
ReplyDeleteNo Castle :(
ReplyDeleteWow. Football makes a fortune.
ReplyDeleteFox at 45%!
ReplyDeletePut a basketball game there and watch it drop, too.
ReplyDeleteNow thats the truth!
