[quote name=\'TeppanYaki\' post=\'225105\' date=\'Sep 6 2009, 08:37 AM\']Two things:  I did disclose that I think there was one or two sweeps I wasn't able to find; secondly, Price either held its own or beat The View.  Every time.[/quote]

I can say with certainty that this is not true.  I posted a chart of ratings in the Top 25 markets from February of this year and showed the comparison of Price to The View and included National Averages from the previous three years during the same time frame.  The difference was quite noticeable.  I haven't done an updated chart in the meantime; perhaps it is time to do that again.

The chart can be found here.

John:  Please read my original post on your board and on here - if I say "a ratings book," it's not the national average.  I understand one market isn't going to make it or break it, but I was posting what I found.

Suggestion, now that I think about it.  It takes more time, but it will show trending more.  Instead of reporting year to year, report *all* the sweeps in that three year period.  Sometimes there are good books, some times there aren't.  At least you can see the big picture that way, IMO.

If we consider Steve's language a problem we will tell him so, either publicly or privately.

So can the rest of us use that type of language here?  Because you know, a well placed f.......

Averaging the top six markets, TPIR got a 2.2 rating vs. The View's 4.2 rating on 2/9/2009. Not good.

Just out of curiosity, I'd like to see numbers, especially quarter hour breakdowns, now that they've expanded the first segment to include two pricing games.

Personally, I think the best thing to do with the cloak-and-dagger information we get here is to size up what both camps say, and decide the truth for yourself. There's enough fact to be found in both Steve and pentellit's posts that you can discern your own view from it and move on.  Reading between the lines is almost essential. I find myself just as easily sifting through their opinions/biases, as they do seem to come from opposite camps.

On that end, I think being a "Bob person" or a "Drew person" is pretty silly. I think on this board and Golden-Road, you too often get people firmly on one side. The Bob people refuse to believe Drew's show is watchable. The Drew people don't want to even think of there being a chink in the armor. Really, I think they could both admit their own faults, but won't in the heat of these arguments. I can't see a fan of Drew ready to defend last season's (lack of) game rotation. Similarly, would a Barker fan go to bat for On the Nose or Professor Price? Both sides could show a lot more tact in dealing with each other, and in fact were doing so for most of this thread.

I'm keeping most of my opinions to myself here, but with regards to Drew, re-reading this blog post might help. It shows his passion for the show (and how it manifests itself). And I found Chris' story about Drew & Take Two to be a little eye-opening, but that's merely my opinion.

Just to make things completely transparent for everyone, I've received no such notifications from Matt or Chris.

That even surprises me.

[/quote]That's fine for me too... but three uncensored curses in two days don't pave a road for "a pattern of excessive and gratuitous use of foul language"? I'm not trying to play backseat moderator, don't get me wrong, I just don't think that language is necessary as part of the board experience.

[quote name=\'pentellit\' post=\'225069\' date=\'Sep 5 2009, 09:04 PM\'][quote name=\'MTCesquire\' post=\'225061\' date=\'Sep 5 2009, 03:54 PM\']I have yet to read one piece of critical evidence (hell, ANY evidence) that supports the notion that Drew played a part or was even the driving force behind the firing.[/quote] He didn't/wasn't. (See Curling lawsuit.)[/quote]You know, I did and that could also be a valid point. The papers of the suit drop Dobkowitz's name numerous times and it wouldn't shock me if it played a role in his eventual departure/dismissal.

Chad, now that you've registered your displeasure with such language, perhaps the offending parties will take your displeasure to heart and alter their choice of words, making any action by me or Matt unnecessary. We'll see.

I want to know two things about Curling's lawsuit and I'm having trouble getting an answer. 1) Is the case ongoing? 2) Is the case now, or will it in the future, go before a jury?
