NBC's Ratings In the Crapper, As Usual

via @benk84's excellent news-fest, NBC continues to be America's lowest rated network.

NBC, after being heartened by some long-sought success this past fall, has fallen into a deep midwinter freeze.

The network has badly stumbled recently, hitting its three lowest viewership levels for a traditional television season in the past four weeks, the Nielsen ratings company said. The only exception came the week NBC televised the Pro Bowl.

...

Yet the depth of NBC's recent troubles has to be disheartening.

...

Thirty-three other broadcast programs had bigger audiences than NBC's most-watched show last week, "Dateline NBC."

Dateline NBC is your most-watched show? Dude.

I keep saying: Let's hang this admiral, to encourage the others.

I have to make one exception: Daniel Knauff (I think that's his name) is doing a Dracula series for NBC, filmed in London (I think) with Jonathan Rhys Myers*. He's actually a conservative and has said so on-line and has caught grief for it.

So I'd break embargo for that.

But otherwise.... I don't know why Limbaugh and Levin don't start echoing this idea.

A complete (except for Dracula) embargo of the network.

A shot across the bow for all others.

Let them know what can happen when you push us too far.

* Not Jonathan Rhys Davies like I wrote, who was Gimli and Sallah and would not make for a very good Dracula.
