A Letter From CBS shows that the whole “sending nuts” to CBS to save the show Jericho” has worked! That’s impressive. usually (in fact almost always…i.e.-Arrested Development for instance), thousands of fans clammer for the return of a favorite canceled show only to get no response and no results. Maybe this will signal things to come in terms of how Nielsen ratings are read and interpreted by advertisers and TV executives. I know shows like Jericho (and yes that was one we watched) are part of the growing number of shows that hit target demographics who view a lot of TV via DVR/TiVo or even online or through ITunes/Ipod methods.. Until those numbers are included or represented somehow, the Nielsen ratings of television will never truly reflect a shows fan base in any true context…

Congrats to those who sent Nuts (i did not…).
