Behind...

Thanks to weekend activities, I'm behind in TV viewing (just watched Dexter... better than the premiere... still have Mad Men to watch eventually) and probably won't get caught up until... this weekend? Still haven't watched last week's Bones. And didn't record Terminator tonight so I could get the CBS comedies and Chuck (thank you, CW, for not having new Gossip Girl this week).

Sigh.

i don't have an account with PIfeedback, but i just have a question. Why does cbs always go up in the finals. last night, chuck, heroes, CSI Miami all go up a tenth. Boston Legal goes down 3 tenths. CBS always goes up. It seem ABC always drops. DWTS didn't go up yet BL drops 3 tenths.

Sometimes things go up and down because of overruns (i.e. Desperate Housewives go up because the prelims say it's from 9-10pm but it actually runs until 10:01pm... and conversely Brothers & Sisters will go down), but since there wasn't any overrun last night... without knowing more specifics my answer would simply be that all this Nielsen stuff is statistical estimation, and the "final ratings" are simply more accurate estimates.
