Freshmen TV Shows....

We pretty much stopped watching current TV. Cable and satellite options are all overpriced and most of what's on sucks. We get network channels free (yes, we have an antenna), but pretty much all we use our TV for is Netflix. When the Nielsen ratings people get our survey diary thing back, I guess we'll just be some kind of weird outlier - there's no way to even record how we watch TV with the thing.

I've never understood the point to the Nielsen ratings, only because not everyone has a box and to be truly accurate that would need to happen. You would think that with today's technology there would be a way for them to actually get the ratings without the boxes.

But this is also coming from a person whose favorite TV shows tend to get cancelled because of lackluster ratings and it's not like I'm truly being counted as I don't have a Nielsen box.
