Also, love that last sentence. You literally quoted me to blatantly ignore the entire last paragraph of my post. Usually you just awkwardly try to avoid drawing attention to things you wanna ignore. Amazing.

I don't even know what you're talking about with family guy. I haven't seen FG draw more viewers than RAW. I'm not saying its impossible, just havent seen it.

I quoted you because your statement was a combination of not true and ignorant. RAW draws more viewers than the hip hop show end of story. You're right that the rating is sometimes a decimal point higher than RAW. But if you look deeper into the numbers (which I do on a regular basis) you see RAW trounces them in the key demo. RAW also kills them in total viewers. You're hung up on the rating point thing. But if you're an advertiser you just want eyeballs. A show on VH1 might do a slightly higher rating but if fewer people are watching than the show on USA, you will pay more for the show on USA. Provided the demo splits are favorable, and as I've explained, they are for RAW.

And even if it wasnt, were essentially debating whether RAW is #1, #2, or #3 show week in week out. Considering the show is three hours plus the fact that they do better or on par ratings with other shows that are only 30 or 60 minutes, that's a massive massive win for WWE. Essentially USA's entire prime time lineup for Monday and Thursday is WWE. That's close to 40% of their weekday lineup. When WWE is on, USA is at or near the top of the daily ratings. When WWE is not on they are almost 100% shut out of the leaderboard.

That demonstrates WWE is putting on compelling television that people come back for week after week after week. Nobody else in the game is close to being as prolific as WWE is in that regard.

This is definitely going in the "CyNick has the reading comprehension of a 3rd grader" mega post...
