Nielsen Ratings Delay In Haiku

haiku

We've now been twiddling our collective thumbs for more than 48 hours waiting for broadcast ratings data. Maybe it will arrive soon, maybe not. What a better time to compose haiku.

My offering:

It's again May sweeps,
But where are the overnights...
How did Castle do?

Have at it.

    Isn’t a haiku 5-7-5?

  2. Leah

    I must often wonder
    whether reaper the funny
    will soon be canceled.

  3. Matt

    Who cares about Chuck?
    I hope 24 did well.
    Fringe is number one!!!

  4. Leah

    my sad haiku fail
    above wrongly counted out
    brings woe unto me.

    :D

    This is so freaking obnoxious with Nielsen. Anyway, my guess is that American Idol did 23-24 million and Fringe did about 9-11 million.

  6. “Isn’t a haiku 5-7-5?” Oops! Edited!

  7. Leah

    edit my first one while you’re at it, ha ha

    Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck
    Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck
    Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck

    ;)

  9. so ummm…

    Haiku is no Chuck
    Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck
    Castle is no Chuck

  10. P@

    Nielsen is backed up
    so we can’t see the numbers
    more Chuck articles

  11. Without new ratings
    I have finished all my work
    The apocalypse?

  12. Matt

    Why all the Chuck fuss?
    These fans are worse than Moonlight.
    Good show, far from great.

  13. P@

    Did Deal or No Deal
    perform last Monday? We still
    must wait to find out.

  14. Ismael

    I can’t believe this happened
    I want ratings now
    I want to know how House did.

  15. Matt

    NickC is a plant.
    He gets Dawn’s coffee daily.
    Inside info? Please.

    Haha, i kid, i kid

  16. goofygal

    You guys crack me up
    A haiku that’s all in Chucks
    What could be better?

  17. P@

    This could very well
    be my all-time favorite
    post. More haiku, please!!

    (Okay, I’ll stop now. I just greatly enjoy haiku, and judging by the comments, I see I’m not alone! Keep ‘em coming, guys! These are great.)

  18. Kris Y

    Chuck must be renewed.
    No Chuck means no Sarah W.
    I can’t live with that.

  19. does lead-in matter?
    Berman is retentionist
    Fringe was still renewed

  20. ducdebrabant

    Gale Harold’s return
    To Housewives was heralded.
    Was Nielsen engulfed?
