    These TV ratings are cool but I think they’d be more effective if they were displayed in tabular form.

    I see the threat of being punched in the throat by me last week managed to scare off a small bit of people that wanted to watch 2 Broke Girls…

    I feel like my life has now been well spent. Though I won’t rest until that awful show is cancelled.

    Castle is so horrible.

      Not, it´s not: It´s an amazing show!!

        I agree, Castle is awesome. It’s funny and really cute.

    I’m pretty impressed that Revolution is doing so well. When the series started it was a little iffy. A few friends I work with at DISH said the show wasn’t going to get any better, either, so I skipped watching the last few episodes. I’ll have to give it another try. My Hopper is set to auto-record Revolution using Primetime Anytime, and I still have the episodes saved, so it will be easy to go back and catch up. Hopefully these episodes live up to their high ratings.
