TV ratings are the life’s blood of every series on the major and cable networks. The success or failure of every show is at the mercy of their ratings. As has been the case for FAR too long, the networks put far too much value on the viewing habits of 18-39 year olds, basically ignoring anyone over the age of 40 – and especially overlooking senior viewers, who are the driving force of the buying market, but heaven forbid that those of us older viewers are even considered important when the focus is always on the young.

As has been my preference for a VERY long time, it is my mission for years to focus only on the overall viewership (the millions of viewers who watched each show) of the major and cable network dramas.
