5th Anniversary Flashback

Can you believe that JustTV has been around for 5 incredibly bad and redundant years? I sure can. I've gone through alot of changes in my life through those fives years, but the only thing that has remained constant is this website and my insatiable love of cheese. You know, the yellow kind. So in honour of this pointless anniversary, I'm flashing back to something from long ago- net share! Remember that? Back in the first few months on tracking the ratings, I devised a pointless, yet interesting system of tracking the ratings. I added up all the viewers watching the 6 networks in a given timeslot and calculated shares for each of the series. If you look back in the archives, you'll still find them. So here's the top 30 from this season, as well as the top series on the UPN and the WB. For series that air at 10pm or on those nights where not all of the networks air programming, I came up with a convoluted system to average out the numbers.

As for the WB, it's top series were "Reba" and "7th Heaven," each averaging a 12 share, while the two editions of "America's Next Top Model" on the UPN averaged a 10 share each.

See how pointless that was? Happy anniversary! Here's to 5 more.... months, at the very least.
