I'll respectfully differ with you on that, mswood. You know I love you but besides that, I do think the sports ratings skewered this week's TAR ratings. With no football against TAR, the male audience and 18-49 went to Fox for the WS. I do think the World Series (lower ratings considered with the two teams this year) did play a factor for the lower finish this week.
I do think you'll see TAR's ratings go up on Sunday with regular programming back in place.

I hope you are right.

But some ad man should be happy...I watched all 20ish? clips each 1-3 minutes, and I saw the same exact 30 sec Sprint ad all however many times. That's a pretty high return--30 sec for less than 3 minutes?

Yes, that actually does help. NO matter what the studios said to the writers before the strike happened. The studio gets small small amount of money from each ad watched. ANd while it is small, its is a growing market where income is only going to increase.
With viewership down (on tv in general) and people skipping commercials on DVR's (God knows I do). I would expect more of these things to occur. 1. More ticker ads along the bottom of the screen. Kind of how the CBS logo is there, I expect to see a few more shows having a brie tag about a corporate sponser. And more product placement, in other words the gnome, the gnome is here to stay.
And even though I am all negative nancy on the ratings, since ad revenue is a huge point for the network no other group brings in more then the 18-49 age group and even with lower viewer numbers we still do better then any other sunday show on CBS and do better then a good chunk of CBS total lineup. So thats a huge plus.
