BTW, Drew C., if you see this, i figured out the double-table problem. Though most browsers wouldn’t have displayed it, it was definitely not your Blackberry. Though it didn’t display in WYSIWYG mode of the WordPress editor, in the code the table was indeed there twice. Some glitches with the way copy/paste work in the latest update to WordPress.

So the top 20 basically (aside from a couple of Jon and Kate’s) consist of the Mouse House and sports? We are a strange country. On the other hand, USA has got to be over the moon with that list.

No surprise that ESPN is dominating, and all those games were worth it.

iCarly did REALLY well this year. Chalk it up to Nickelodeon.

Also, Disney did really well this year too. Wizards of Waverly Place is a strong show, as is Selena Gomez in any movie for Disney (as she starred in both the WOWP movie and the Princess movie). Kind of shocked that the Suite Life on Deck: Lost at Sea special is up there, caught me by suprise.

At least the ratings dropped drastically for that ridiculous Jon + Kate- when will Americans tire of these crappy reality shows?

Its kind of weird to think if a WOWP movie would do good on theatres because it was obvoiusly going to get high ratings because it was a movie a speacail event but i notice how there isn’t an actual episode on there while Hannah and iCarly have episode on there.

with Royal Pains and especially Burn Notice tearing it up in the ratings this year, how does this bode for Psych?

Let’s just say anything “sports” in 2009 and leave it at that.

A theatrical “Wizards Of Waverly Place” movie seems to be in order.

OK. Just thought it was strange, since the BB shows the full table, then goes right through the exact same lines and columns again.

I could try switching Javascript on and see what that does.

It’s not double posted, but it could be how the blackberry handles the width of the table.

On the iPhone version of the site the table just cuts off. Not happy about it, but at least iPhone/iPod Touch folks can go look at the page in normal web mode and see all the data.

I’m sure handling tables with more than a a few columns of data isn’t a priority for the software we use to make the mobile version of the site, so the tables don’t play very nicely with mobile devices.

Unfortunately, in order to make the table readable for the mobile devices I have to scrunch the table up so much it’s harder to read via a normal web browser, and at least for now, normal web browsing is our presentation priority.

The highest ranked episode of TB, which of course is the top show on premium cable, had “only” 5.7 million viewers so your instinct is right.

And the list is double posted, at least on Blackberry.
