Sorry but the office TOTAL viewers NOT higher than Gossip Girl viewers for last two episodes...

We get it, u hate Gossip Girl...But there are a tonnes of fans that enjoy that show and I for one am sick and tired of ur hate against that show..

Comparing hills vs. Gossip Girl..how come u never compare Survivor vs. Lost b/c there two island shows?? It's like comparing apples vs. oranges

It's funny, when GG doing well in the last two episodes it aired..u have nothign to say but when it does bad...man u can't stop talking about it...

I don't konw what ur need to put down GG all the time is...let everyone enjoy their shows in peace....

Jake, if you were a Nielsen home, you'd count in the live plus same day results for your lost viewing, even with your time-shifting to bypass commercials. For now, based on the data we get, the best we can do is break out how many watched on DVR for the week, and of those, how many watched on DVR the same night. We have no way to segment the same day DVR viewing into “those who began watching on DVR while the show was still airing”, but I would enjoy seeing such a metric myself.

I wonder if there is any way to sort out viewers that watch the DVR'ed show the next day and ones that watch during a portion of the telecast. Like with Lost, I watch it the same night, but I wait about 20 minutes in and then start watching so I can see it commercial free.
