Welcome!

Just wanted to introduce myself. Fellow Chucksters will know me as buymoriaking on the amazing fansite Chucktv.net as well on the NBC boards. Or if you want to get a little personal, you can call me Vinny =D.

Now why am I starting this blog? Main reason is because I'm very much interested in how the Nielsen ratings system works and all its nuances and intricacies. And I have the TV show Chuck to thank. Before watching Chuck, I had no idea what ratings mean, what constitutes as a "good ratings" and "bad ratings". Like many casual fans out there, you would think total viewership numbers is what determines renewal. Wrong. It's all about demos, demos, demos. If you want to read up about ratings, head over to TVByTheNumbers.

Other than Chuck, I'm a fan of other TV shows such as Bones, The Big Bang Theory, LOST, Smallville, Dollhouse, and reality fare such as Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, Deadliest Catch, and Man vs. Wild.

Now a little bit about myself. I'm a recent college graduate from the University of California Irvine, class of 2009. And sadly for me and many other recent college graduates, I'm unemployed at the moment =(. Hobbies of mine include:

• Going to the gym. There are certain weeks where I'll go everyday, and them some days where I'm just lazy as hell. but on average, I'll try to go 4 times a week.
• Love playing basketball. Though not very tall, I'm a deadly shooter ;-D

Now what will this blog be about? It will be commentary on ratings of my favorite shows listed above, but in general will mention other shows as well. There will be episode commentary whenever I have the time (i.e. when I'm not lazy) and other news about the TV industry.

So I hope you enjoy the posts and see them as informative and entertaining.
