For real? That is pretty humiliating.
Off I go a hopping!
Hop, hop, hop...

Neilsen ratings tell sponsors which programming captures the demographic interested in their product at useful fractions of the viewing audience, and correspondingly what the networks should charge their sponsors to advertise during that programming.
The worse the Nielsons, the more discounted/cheaper adtime is, the less effective the advertising is at firing up the American public to buy, buy, buy. Although most sponsors (who are not Ford) can't usually afford to buy adtime where their ads will be most effective because that time of night during a particular show that is very popular is at a premium and good for all and any sponsor.
Gotta be smart, because conversely what's the point in buying the worst/cheapest adtime if it doesn't access any of their potential customer base by age group, gender and income bracket (I don't think they measure sexual orientation, which would be an excellent way to meter consumer interest if it wasn't also offensive. It shouldn't be "more" offensive, but it is. Thank you Hitler.)?
By the Numbers publishes the Nielsen numbers informatively and entertainingly, so that we become aware which shows are safe, which shows are in danger and which shows are just outright ####ing doomed.
There's always doomed TV I'm not so happy about the doomedness of.

Well, I guess that's good, for us. That way we know which shows to detach ourselves from, so that we don't fall in love, so the break up is easier.
They are only thinking of us.
OMG!! It's Eli! By the Gods!
"Hey Gabrielle, look what happened to your friend! Bet you're glad you didn't follow The Way Of Love now."

Timothy is a principle character in Psych, which I tried to force on you last year.

Timothy isn't sexy.

All those women are wrongity-wrong-wrong!
Sorry George.
I'll try Psych this summer. When I'm not up to my ears in weekly television. Summer hiatus is for watching all the stuff you didn't have time for.
4 episodes left for season one!
I'm feeling like Speedy Gonzales right now!

You've watched 6 episodes of Galavant since you woke up?
Or is there some roving black hole slowing time down in your neighbourhood, so you're still talking About better off Ted?

When I responded to you about "hopping off", I had just gotten home from work. It's evening time right now. I have watched 5 episodes. I took a break for supper.
If by black hole, you mean the night sky, then yes. There is a black hole looming over me.

The whole thing is like a Disney film (because of Alan Menken) if Disney suddenly became really inappropriate.
i wonder what Walt would think?

"Sigh"
I was dragged to that ####ing Movie when I was 10.
Either my parents were idiots, or they didn't care to talk to me, but the scales fell from my eyes almost a decade later when revisited that hangnail, and I finally noticed that they meant The Coloured People by The Colour Purple.
DOH!
(It was probably explained in the movie, but I was in too much pain to listen much.)
My second worst childhood movie going experience.
"Out of Africa" wins the honor of first by 10 lengths.

No offence to your parents but why would they think that was an enjoyable film for a kid?
I've never seen it so I can't really give a proper opinion but I know of it. Same with Out Of Africa.
I remember being 4 years old and watching a bit of Ghostbusters. My mom had it playing in the living room. It was the part where Sigourney Weaver was possessed. That scarred me! It gave me night sweats (for weeks) about my mom turning into her and wanting to kill me.
I have way too many worst movie experiences. Sadly they are all about me getting scared beyond belief. Even more pathetic, most of them happened when I wasn't a kid.
If I'm truly terrified, I can actually fall into a catatonic-like state.

Babysitting is not always possible to arrange, and in the 80s a child's expectation of being entertained was usually fulfilled with a cup and a sand pit. At the time, TV started at 11 am, finished at 11 pm and there were only two channels, and it was well before the cusp of home video.
I was 7 when I saw Ghost Busters in the Theatre.
It was awesome.
There was a guy in there with no dick.
Amazing!
No dick.
How does a thing like that even happen?

By insulting the people who get rid of the ghosts, of course!
Or are you talking in the literal sense?
My main form of entertainment was TV. I watched way too much. My mom never put a restriction on how many hours I was allowed. She probably should have.

I totally acted out this scene at show and tell the next day.

I'm almost at the end of season one of Gossip Girl.
It's better than I remember.
And considering the scarlet letter/teen pregnancy reveal/scandal by Gossip Girl that exploded all over some very specific lives in this arc, it all barely makes sense with colouring from future knowledge after we found out who Gossip Girl is, that that person (who shall remain unnamed) was playing dumb expertly as the blow back blows all over them too.
(I know you know nothing, but this is a real min####k for me.)

Did you get in trouble?
I'm familiar with some of the characters: Serena, Blair, Chuck, Nate...
What happened?
Don't you just hate it when TV shows screw with you? Do they not know that you have feelings?
Fragile feelings that can shatter your little heart into a million pieces.

Any day someone didn't break an arm playing sport at that school was a rare blessing.
Bad words were fair play.
I'm realizing how young these kids (16 and 17 in season 1,) are on Gossip Girl, that their parents should probably be fined or imprisoned for neglect and child endangerment.

I think adults became more strict then, because I once said "Duh" to one of the kids at the day home I went to, he told on me, and I got a good talking to.
Looking back, that kid was a wuss.
The same thing can be said of any teen soap where the teens go off the rails. Where are the parents? Seriously. Do your job and parent!
But let's not forget that soapy mommies and daddies have their own issues to deal with.
Good night.

Between the 50s and 70s, the bad diseases started vanishing, so only the Catholics still had 10 kids each generation. There was no need for back ups and replacements any more, which means parents actually cared when a serial killer kidnapped their children never to be seen again, if they suddenly didn't have enough warm bodies for a basket ball game at Christmas.
It was high time to learn the art of being careful.

And nowadays parents smother their kids out of fear that something bad will happen, and it usually does, due to the smothering. I think the term is "helicopter parent."
Basically, parents are screwed either way. Being too involved means consequences and being uninvolved means consequences.
I guess I don't know where to shop.

S + Mother = Smother.
Then you say Smother instead of Mother everytime you would say Mother.
"My Smother is really busting my balls about separating my washing into colours."
I think you should teach these people a lesson and not kidnap their kids.
