RATINGS ARE IN: ANIDOM DOWN PROBABLY DUE TO SANDY

I love Deadline.com, but this article on the Animation Domination ratings had me kind of miffed. Read the excerpt and see if you can see why:

This is what a long hiatus could do to a network’s lineup. Fox’s Sunday comedy block posted across-the-board double-digit ratings declines last night in its return from a month-long break for baseball coverage. The comedies dropped despite following an NFL overrun last night vs. aSimpsons rerun in their last outing four weeks ago. For The Cleveland Show (1.9/5 in adults 18-49), the hiatus came right after its Oct. 7 season premiere. In its second airing for the season, the animated comedy last night was down 14% from its opener. The Simpsons(2.6/6) was down 16% from four weeks ago, Bob’s Burgers (1.8/4) down 22%,Family Guy (2.5/6) down 26% and American Dad (1.9/4) down 27%.

Hey Nellie, John here. I hail from Atlantic Highlands, NJ. We along with about 5 million of my fellow citizens were subjected to high winds as part of Hurricane Sandy which knocked off a shit ton of power lines leaving a lot of people in the dark. Hence, it was a little rough trying to watch TV on Sunday Night, so maybe you should think about that, yes? Much obliged.
