Late Night TV by the Charts
The other day, also known as this past Saturday, I posted a little bit about the current late night tv wars.
Well, in reading various articles on the web, following different news stories, and reading comments on articles and tweets on Twitter, I have found what appears to be a big disconnect between what people say and what people do.
Either that, or certain groups skew heavily online while others have little presence online.
In any event, there is a big discrepancy between what people think and what really is.
That is that more people seem to say things than do things.
Or, rather more people are vocal about things than others, and the more vocal people tend to favor one position over the other.
However, what is said is often in conflict with what the ratings show. So, I decided to put together this handy little chart to illustrate what is said versus what is reality. To do this, I took the actual viewing ratings as the “watch” portion of the graph and my estimation of quantity of opinions as the “say” portion. As such, this is not a scientific chart of any kind, but I think it is a pretty good representation of the way things are.
Enjoy!




I graduated from college and I still can’t figure out what your graphs are trying to tell me…
Wait for the next post…
The new Jay Leno show is failing miserably, and therefore he wants his OLD time slot back which totally screws Conan. Personally, I am a Letterman Fan.
NBC guaranteed affiliates a 1.5 rating for Leno, and he’s getting 1.6. So, from that perspective he’s not failing.
On top of that, he’s only had under four months to build an audience, while Conan has had seven.
You will find a parabola template with Ebstien Curves will be more defining to the layman or laywoman
