Why is Angel not on it?

 

[Angel's Girl 4eva]

Exactly. Even though I aint in the US Angel aint on it. tsk, tsk, tsk.

 

[slayerpower]

Angel usually gets in #80-90.

 

[dr Morgus]

it is only the top 20 most watched shows here.

 

[Zander8472]

Yeah Star Trek Enterprise isn't on it. but thats to be expected since its almost last. I didn't see Smallville either though.....

 

[slayerangel]

ABC, CBS, and NBC have always been the top-rated networks. The WB gets no credit.

 

[dr Morgus]

it has nothing to do with credit it is simply a reflection of the most watched tv shows as gathered by Nielsen ratings, of course these ratings are a far cry from what these same networks used to get.

Well as a representative of European viewers ( Portugal in particular) I'm glad to say that we are currently watching series nr. 1, 3, 5, 8, 10 and 17.

Not too bad, since we're still waiting for the 5th season of Buffy ... Angel and the latest Star Trek series have never even aired yet !

 

[dr Morgus]

you have Law & Order Criminal Intent but not Enterprise now thats just not right

 

[Soulgasm]

lol...one-fourth of the shows are about law enforcement...americans must be feeling pretty scared right now....

i like the wb right now...but i know i'll hate it by the end of this season when they start cutting shows that just need time to grow...
