Ok, I have a question: who is this ‘Nielsen Ratings’ bloke and how hard would it be to find him and kill him?
Just a few weeks after the loooooooong haitus over Christmas and New Year, it seems our beloved show is not going to be at home for the next three weeks either - after tomorrow's 'Sex And Violence' the next episode (4x15) is apparently being pushed back until 5th March - and it’s all cos of this bloke Nielsen.
You see, he must know that at least half the audience of ‘Supernatural’ do not live in the US - myself and my family included. We do not understand the concept of ‘advertising counts’ and ‘best episodes’ - we come from a world where you write a series, sell it to one side or the other as far as channel controllers go, and then it gets broadcast until it’s completed. Simple.
We do not understand this constant nudging of new episodes back from the original start date. We do not understand why they must wait for some advertising bean-counter to ‘sweep’ and check what’s going on with OUR show. We do not understand why we have no new episodes. But we do understand that that bloke Nielsen is on his last warning. He’s pissed off the Old Faithful before, and he should know we have his number…
So caption THIS:
Oh wait, I’ve got one - “Three weeks off? This ain’t funny, you muddy-funsters.”

I have been following the ratings and episode red-thundershorts was the season high rating... what the hell is wrong with these people... it has nothing to dio with some other tv stuff or a holiday, has it? Ha, maybe they ran out of episode as they finish filming season 4 in march as far as I know...
