"Nielsen, the television ratings monopolist, finally made its way to my mom. She called me, THRILLED that she had been selected to be a Nielsen family! When I think Nielsen, i think set-top boxes that measure your every channel surf, so I asked if they were going to help her with the installation of the box. She said that she was supposed to just write down what she’s watching every minute of the day. WHAT? I assumed she was embroiled in some mail-in phishing operation, but when I got there and looked at her paperwork — it was legit. Nielsen sent her $15 and a little paper diary so that she could record what she watched, exactly when she changed the channel, when she channel-surfed, where she ended up and for how long, etc. I simply could not believe that that is what was behind the billion-dollar advertising decisions that marketers make."
It was a sad episode of Jericho this week when Bonnie died. I will really miss her and Shoshannah as well. Thank you, Shoshannah, for all the hard work you did for Jericho. You are a fine actress and I'll be watching you spread your wings and soar again soon.
Kudos to Emily Rose for her fine performances. I love that she's joined the cast and hope she returns for Season 3. She is impressive.
Finally, I've always liked Skeet and still do but this man's talent has burst forth this season. He seems to be putting his all into every scene and it shows. We appreciate Skeet.
