PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Negative Nielson Rating a First..."
TV Analyst Gazette 26 Sep 01

FOX Network's Love Cruise recorded the first
negative value ever in the history of the Nielson ratings,
stunning television industry analysts. The little known
'Negative Score' provision in the national television ratings system
is reserved for a very specific scenario: that situation where
the unfortunate viewers of the rated broadcast are
actually hunted down and killed by other Neilson families.
Neither FOX broadcasting nor Neilson could reached for comment.

Felix Cryo - Staff Reporter

Wow... This can't be good...

...it has to air something, and as long as the only people being killed are Neilsen families or perhaps contestants, the network execs figure they are safe...

Why is that? Moral objection to hunting down and killing other Nielsons?

LMAO at staff writer Felix Cryo... he's one Kool Kat, whoever he may be.

*Never been a Neilson family, resent having them influence what I see, how do they pick these people anyway? Thinks JV should hunt down the people who orchestrate and perpetuate such a silly system for rating programming*

Oh, CRAP! That means he could actually inflict damage in MY neck of the woods! Probably not the only one, but there's a huge Nielson outfit in Venice--famous for hiring lots of old ladies for juuuust under full-time status, and forcing them to do the work of two full-timers. . . No wonder they screw up the stats so badly! (Heeeyyyy! Does this explain things like The Golden Girls and Matlock?!)

And Ice--between you and Sky and boomer today. . . my cheek muscles are in PAIN from laughing so hard! Keep it up, please!

Ice Cat

Not a bad case scenario. Now if FOX would add a "Donner party" twist to it, the network would have itself a megahit.
