While reading a post on slashdot regarding Internet Site rankings someone posted an interesting idea. Simply, TiVo and other PVR units are responsible for the crap on tv. This sounds silly, but really think about it.

When Nielson surveys homes, it does not track TiVo recordings (yet). The very smart and often well off are typical early adopters of new technology, this goes double for Science Fiction fans. So our (I am assuming since you read this blog you are all exceptionally smart) voice when it comes to what is worthwhile on television is being completely ignored. So smart shows and very noticeably Sci-Fi shows are given the ax because of “low viewership.

Does anyone else begin to wonder if this is what happened to shows like Studio 60, Firefly, etc…
