It also explains why, even though most people can get dozens of channels, all of the top 100 shows on television are either
ABC, NBC, CBS, or FOX. The bottom ranks of the network shows are where you find The CW, and the most watched fiction program
on The CW, Smallville, has fewer than four million viewers. As for Battlestar Galactica, it
doesn't even make the list. In other words, more people watch the worst network show than watch the best SciFi Channel show.
I'm still going to predict that the semi-season finale of Battlestar Galactica, airing in June, will be
the best thing on television this month.
Well we ever see Battlestar Galactica Season 4b? SciFi Channel sayeth not.
Next month brings the return of Stargate Atlantis and Eureka.

Many people leave their TV sets on all the time, and I suspect many of them hardly ever change the channel, probably to avoid
fights. There is scientific evidence that this drives people insane, and when you look at the world around us, that explains a lot.
