This is interesting, because I recently read another news report which stated that _Angel_ has been beating _Buffy_ in the raings so far this season. (It's entirely possible that nobody even bothers to count UPN.) It also appears that tonight's airing of _Firefly_ was a make-or-break one for the show ... I hope enough people tuned in to make FOX happy (though of course the chances of that are slim). It was an excellent episode, more of a pilot than the first episode was, with an intense frame story. So pat yourselves on the back, people ... you're part of a very exclusive group. Dammit, I *really* wish the people who actually watch genre television were seen fit to have Nielsen boxes! (I'm still simmering over the revelation that SciFi's decision to cancel _Farscape_ was based upon a ratings drop which equated to three (yes, count em, THREE) people with Nielsen boxes not tuning in over the summer. That's just *stupid*.) ============================================== Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth ============================================== Live At The House O'Muzak House Concert Series http://muzak.smoe.org ============================================== ------------------------------ End of stillpt-digest V4 #157 *****************************
