FSA (Fanperson Service Announcement)
Good people--
If you have SciFi or its equivalent, contrive some way of putting SGA on your TV tonight (9PM EST), if you can, even if you don't watch it. It'd be really cool of you.
Thanks!
[ETA: I amend my statement to, "Even if you don't have a Nielsen box, it's "Submersion" this week, which is nice. So watch if you like."]
(Also, as an aside to the SciFi people: See, this is why putting a show on hiatus for six months [or whatever] is not a good thing. You've sorely, sorely overestimated the average person's [read: non-fanperson's] ability to remember a once-a-week one-hour programming block by about five months and twenty-two days.
And if you want ratings to stay up, or at least not go any lower, don't do it again, as people don't like it when you jerk them around.
I'm just sayin'.)
In other news: Is there any? If there is, let me know.

Yeah, it's a piss-poor system, but that's how TV ratings work.

You have to wonder about how channels like SciFi, which cater to a targeted interest, manage to stay afloat given that few of that demographic are likely to be among the 5,000 Neilsen viewers (I'm assuming that the viewers are roughly representative of the American population--and I'm sure that it's skewed in some way; I don't know how Neilsen does its sampling). Maybe geeks are doing well enough money-wise to keep SciFi and its advertisers happy (or were doing well enough), I don't know.
Also, it's clearly time that I be put in charge of the world because the piss-poorness of it all is starting to become deeply aggravating to me.

Now, can one viewer actually speak for 60,407 people (based on the US population of 302,038,596)? They claim it works. I'm skeptical.
SG-1 getting canned didn't bode well for Atlantis, though. You figure that the person/people who liked SG-1 probably were also fans of Atlantis (although that's not a sure thing). And if their attention wandered away from the first Stargate show, you have to wonder whether they came back for the second hour.
I am all for you being put in charge of the world. I think you'd do a fine job.

Amazing enough that I went into literature instead of psychology :D my statistical methods class still gives me nightmares.
And that "Democracy and Media" class sounds deeply intriguing. I hope it was as interesting and cool as it sounds.

I have access to a very nice speaker system tonight, so I'm going to listen to see if I can hear the sproing.

Hee! As a girl I had woefully uncooperative hair (not as cute as JF's), and the Chief Old Bat at my middle school was always on me to look pressed and proper so she'd make me tie it back in a ponytail. Not even ten minutes later my ponytail would be askew and half out of the rubber band.
And also BLACK RIMMED GLASSES OH MY GOD.
