Networks Give Up On Entertaining Viewers, Suffer One Of Worst TV Weeks Ever
Pretty much everything you need to know to get a sense of how bad things were for the networks during last week's Nielsen apocalypse is contained in CNN.com's always-handy Story Highlights box. Except for this fun fact: that ratings-leading Two and a Half Men episode was a rerun. This, of course, is great news for CBS, which now knows that when it can't be bothered to make even a token attempt at providing its viewers with fresh entertainment, it can still count on ten million people to show up and mumble along with months-old Charlie Sheen punchlines instead of flipping over to see if anyone had their hearts explode on a first-run episode of Fat March.
