TV ratings report

I wrote out this super-long post about The Futon Critic's awesome ratings report but, wouldn't you know, it wouldn't post and I lost it. I'm not typing it again, but it is very interesting in comparing ratings so far this season to last season. CSI: NY has improved upon the ratings in that time period of a year ago (when The Brotherhood of Poland, NH was airing) by a whopping 151.70%. Not far behind is Desperate Housewives, which has improved upon Alias's ratings by 123.40%. I wonder what that means for Alias's planned return in January, especially in that time slot. My personal favorite stat is that Hawaii has lost over 20% of the ratings compared to Ed in the same timeslot last year. Ha! They should never have cancelled Ed! Of course, Hawaii has been cancelled, too.
