from the who-watches-TV? dept.

According to a report from AdAge, every single network drama that aired on Tuesday night experienced a double-digit decline in ratings. And aside from a decent showing from The Muppets, the report relays that there have been few bright spots to the start of this year's fall TV lineup.

[...] All told, cumulative viewership during "Premiere Week", as it's called, is down 8% compared to the same period a year-ago. More worrisome for TV networks is that viewership from the highly sought-after 18-24 demographic is down 20% year over year, with male viewership within that demographic falling by 24%.

Males in the 18-24 demographic are the most coveted in advertising because that's when studies show brand preferences are formed. 24% is a catastrophic decline for TV.

    What's this story about, TV ratings?

    It's those TV executives trying to impose their SJW values on the rest of America, I tell you!

    I was about to make my own post titled "Crap" but you got the idea right. There's nothing but stinking crap coming out of Hollywood. BBC is coming out with a streaming service for the US soon, and I'll be getting that as I like their shows a helluva lot more than the steaming piles of gastrointestinal refuse coming from shittywood.
