That's exactly why it popped in my mind. I also think the discomfort with a gay couple being treated as normal people... - David Feb 10, 11:53 1
- I agree with you about cultural impact not always being defined by ratings. Even a small niche of viewers can start trends. -- nm - Amy Feb 10, 11:58
Cosby was watched by 3 times as many people though -- nm - Beaker Feb 10, 11:53 11
- That had less than 10% of the options we currently enjoy. -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 11:54 10
  - Right. Television consumption has fundamentally changed. -- nm - David Feb 10, 12:00 2
    - But there's still a #1. - Will Hunting Feb 10, 12:00 1
      - Did Two and a Half Men, the current #1, start at #1? Of course not. - David Feb 10, 12:03
  - Cosby was #1 within it's show type and then all of television - Will Hunting Feb 10, 11:55 5
    - My point is, how many shows were running against it back then? - Spawn Feb 10, 11:57 4
      - As far as big players, there was NBC, CBS and ABC then. Now, Fox has been added. - Inigo Feb 10, 11:59 2
        
        You miss the point. Just because Nielsen does not count does not mean people are not watching the other 200 shows on then. -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 12:01 1
        
        Like Will and I have said, #1 is still #1 regardless of other shows. -- nm - Inigo Feb 10, 12:06
      - If the audience splinters, you'll still have a #1. Which is 2.5 Men, then BBT, then Modern Family. - Will Hunting Feb 10, 11:58
  - true -- nm - Beaker Feb 10, 11:54
