Cable TV - it's a scary world

When you look at basic cable ratings (the channels you get for almost free when you agree to devote a huge chunk of money to Comcast or DirctTV or whoever), you find out some interesting things. One, kids watch a lot of TV, which is sort of expected. The other (and probably most shocking) is that WWF (or WWE now, after a brief and largely unsuccessful battle against the group that saves pandas around the world) Wrestling is still alive and kicking, and even more shocking, popular. It came out at number one in last weeks Nielson reports (which I personally think are ridiculously inaccurate, but then I'm a TiVo lover and subsequently biased). What confuses me about the reports from last week though, is how Monday Night Raw came in both 1st and 3rd? Check out the report yourself in the link below.
