The ratings for a tv show are currently measured by the Nielsen system, which is an outdated and arguably inaccurate way of measuring viewers. Nielsen measures ratings just from a small select number of people throughout the country, and hasn't kept up with changing technologies. Why should this small, and ultimately mysterious, group of people be responsible for what the entire country watches? Please work with the FCC, the television industry, cable companies, and others, in order to create a way to accurately chart the ratings of a show, before more good shows die thanks to the ridiculously outdated Nielsen system.
