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.

I just saw her on an ELECTROLUX commercial. What a skinny dim wit. And that voice is SO annoying. I’m glad my vacuum cleaner is a HOOVER. lol And I agree with what you said Joan. She always brags about drinking for jokes on her horrible show.
I do like Kelly & think she is a nice person but without Regis, this show stinks. I did watch her first show with Michael but lost interest so I won’t be watching it.
There is no way that Live with Kelly and Michael are in the top 20. This show has completely gone down the tubes since Regis left. Kelly is beyond annoying now and it is painful to watch how hard she tries to be funny and is always unsuccessful. And now she is trying to imitate the Ellen show by coming on dancing??? COME ON!!! REALLY??? This show has gotten so bad that I would rather watch our local talk show instead of this show because Live has gotten unbearable to watch. I am praying that they replace it with something better soon!
