NMC:
It's the 25th Season! It's a huge milestone, and the only other shows I can think off that's hit 25 is Survivor and The Simpsons, which has been going since 1989. (I know they only have 1 season a year and what not, but still :lol: )
Anyway CBS SHOULD make it their business to ensure that this season is one of, if not the best they can produce with whatever budget they're given!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE CBS, hear the fans pleas, and do something!

They need to step it up, put in more effort and be proactive or the show's audience will continue to disappear.

From all available information, the audience isn't disappearing, it is watching at different times and in different ways than the out-of-date overnight/weekly audience ratings measures can pick up.
If TAR were airing on a night where the live plus three or even plus six could be included you'd be seeing that reflected in the weekly numbers. But we're on Sunday night, and the ratings week closes a few hours after TAR airs so those numbers do not show any of that.
Am I making any sense yet?
dryedmangoez:
The weekly ratings that are released on Tuesdays do not include DVR numbers. The DVR numbers come out a week or two after because, like you just said, they are measuring the +3 or +7. So it doesn't matter whether or not TAR is on Sunday because they still measure DVR viewing 3 or 7 days later from the original airdate.
And even with the DVR numbers factored in, TAR (this season and last) is still down in both the all-important demo and total viewers from the season and the year before.
Pointing out TAR's dwindling ratings or Emmy losing isn't just for the sake of being negative or pessimistic, it's to point out that TAR needs to do better. It's a sentiment shared by many TAR fans and even past Racers. What TAR fan doesn't want the show to do well? The ratings are an example that it is not.
