Lol, I don't know where you come up with your numbers, but they go up and up as soon as someon mentions how bad ratings are. It's common knowledge that the ratings suck this year, you can try to cover that all you want, but truth is truth. You will defend this show no matter how bad the storyline gets. Honestly, what do they have to do for you to finally admit it's going downhill? This season is a joke and the ratings show that.

Aw, honey, it’s real cute that you think I’m pulling that number out of my ass, but unfortunately for you that’s the actual number for 8x05 in +7 ratings. I suggest that the next time you come in my inbox, you do some research and know what you are talking about before you start discussing how wrong I am. And I’ll even help you! Clicky click for a full table of Castle ratings through episode five. 

Now, see that +3 and that +7 number? That means delayed viewers. People who watch after the show airs live. You can whine and bitch as much as you want, but that sharp uptick in demo means that the audience is still there, and people are still watching the show. It’s not a cover up, it’s the honest to God facts that whiners like you don’t want to accept because, in your little world, bad live ratings give justification for the storyline that you don’t agree with. You’ll also be disappointed to know that I have never said live ratings are good. Live ratings? They are terrible. They are a concern, but in this day and age poor live ratings don’t always equal cancellation. 

Next time you show up in my inbox and tell me what to do, I suggest you learn the basics of how ratings work and reread various posts I’ve made about them before you make an idiot of yourself.
