Do you TRUST the ratings system?

and the fans that regularly talk about shows online are a minority, a very vocal one but still a minority

I thought Reaper was ok, but it got canned because nobody watched the ****ing thing

hmm...it depends. Do they now use DVR numbers as part of the ratings? Because literally everyone in my office DVR's...they never watch live. And typically they watch shows a day or two AFTER they air.

DVR/Tivo numbers are noted by the networks, but don't "count"....a show that has huge DVR numbers is not going to stop it from getting cancelled

Ah..see now...that's probably why I don't trust the current rating system. Heck, I don't know anyone who watches shows live anymore. (well, there is the old woman in AP, but she doesn't count!)

I still watch a couple shows live (Supernatural and Leverage)
