It wasn’t disseminated by anyone. I just pulled the data myself this morning.

I’ll take a look at the STD viewers and see what the differences are.

I’m as big a fan of The Simpsons as can be, but really, using the 18-49 demo for this list is once again a spin by whomever disseminated it (probably the networks) to make the WGA look irrelevant.

I wonder how many real Top 20 shows still have episodes because almost half this list is not an audience Top 20.
