Why Aren't The Simpsons on This List?!
While The Simpsons repeats are available nationally its ratings are not counted in the weekly syndicated ratings because The Simpsons does not sell any national advertising in syndication.
Please note that the syndicated weekly results are delayed versus normal reporting. While we get the broadcast and cable ratings for the prior Monday-Sunday period every Tuesday, there is an extra week of lag time with the syndicated ratings and these numbers are not for last week, but for the week before last.

what about Futurama ratings?
What about Anderson?
Yay! Ellen!
I don’t think Anderson will be around for long, from what I understand it’s not doing well.
Good job Seinfeld! My FOX network shows it every night at 10 and has a big following here still so I’m glad to see it up there!
yay ellen but wheres jerry springer in the ratings
Judge Judy still getting it done.
Cago, and his/her sock puppet army will no longer be joining us.
Wow. Kelly had move viewers than Ellen so she must have really dropped. I wonder when they will get a permanent co-host as I think this would help her ratings.
Kelly needs to bring back Regis. He will raise the ratings. It is just getting too boring
Kelly is not good at the host chat, it is often boring or suggestive bathroom talk, and who wants that at 9:00 in the morning
