I do realize and I could have been more clear in my comment regarding Swingtown. I did note a bit of sarcasm in your comment. However it was just a comment…you could have responded without the jest. I did not provoke you in anyway to deserve your remarks. I thank you in educating me in the results but would have appreciate it much more if it would have been a little friendlier. And not too worry this is my last post and last time in this site.

Yes Robert. I know. I bow to your expertise and knowledge. Numbers don't lie. The math doesn't add up. The square root of four is not three and nothing I say will change that. Will it be back on CBS? Don't know. I just hope it has an after life like a lot of us are hoping for on nothing but blind faith, because that's all we fans have.

Xerxes, no offense, but that number needs to be much bigger in the absolute to matter. Percentage means nothing, ask Gossip Girl.

I hate to say I told you so – but I told you so. If there EVER was any better statistical evidence of a loyal and largely unaccounted for fan base using traditional measuring methods for this show, given how many people DVRed the show during the Olympics and watched it later, I haven't seen it. Amazing how they ACTUALLY know how to use their technology and were SMART enough to watch it later. I also said that many had plans for Friday night, and probably DVRed it and watch it later. Here's the proof. So, do you think these viewers might have a few bucks in their pocket to spend CBS? I've also said all along that this show is a hidden gem, a diamond in the rough, and a potential break out hit given a chance to find and build its audience. If CBS doesn't give it a chance, they are utter and complete fools.
