I'm Tivo-ing Firefly. Set up the Season Pass for it.

Does that really count in the ratings? I didn't realize that.

I'm one of the folks who never even *heard* of Firefly before SciFi started playing these. I'm addicted to SciFi's Friday night lineup, and thought I'd give this a try when I saw it on there.

It's awesome, as good as Stargate at it's best. Right up there with BSG.

I can't believe I missed this one the first time around.

Hmmm maybe I confused the issue.

There are the "STUPID Ratings" used by the OLD GUARD Media, then there are the NEW FACTUAL Ratings like TIVO.

Tivo is actual recordings and viewings by actual subscribers. No guestimates. No voodoo crap. Real solid numbers! So TIVO and DVR ratings are starting to make waves in the TV world.

Nielson is just crap, and vastly suspect in their procedures. Tivo and DVR are going to supplant their strangle hold on ratings numbers.
