Cancellation of TV shows !

     I have decided that I am sick of TV shows being cancelled.  
Last year I invested time in NBC's  "The Event"  ( IMDB rated 7.1)  and  Fox's Chicago Code  ( IMDB rated 7.2) and "Lie to Me" ( IMDB rated 7.9) which many people thought was a great show.   
All   "Cancelled" 


     This year its ABC's " Pan Am" ( IMDB rated 7.0).  It took a few episodes to appreciate this show. Who decide on the ratings for the networks.  Nielsen Ratings? They use electronic devices by the use of Set Meters connected to your TV to see what channel you are watching at a particular time.  These people are paid for this service, so in turn have a need for extra income.  Do they have time to watch TV because they maybe working two or three jobs.  I would not typically say they are middle class homes but lower middle class and may not be reflective of the demographics watching the shows.   

      This procedure of not using proper ratings mean that a lot of really good shows are getting axed.  Why not setup up a survey type system where users register with a ratings agency and a demographic profile is completed.  Then they do surveys ( Nielsen diary) of the shows they watched and when whether it be live or recorded.


People it's time to complain to the networks that their rating system is no good and needs to be changed.
