Firefly currently at no. 5 on the Hey! Nielsen rankings. This is a corporate social commmunity site set up by the Nielsen company which tracks what's popular online and claims that "your opinions not only reach millions of people via the web, but may also reach the media moguls who decide what goes on the air and on the web".

Once you get past the patronising corporate yoof speak, it could be quite a useful tool for show awareness campaigns and stuff like that. And if you want "The Man" to know exactly what you like at the moment. Why pay for research when you can get it for free.

Serenity is #7 under the movies tab! Whoo-hoo! Firefly #4 under the TV tab!

I just saw that!

This is good news, 1) that most of my favorite shows that have been canceled, Firefly, Veronica Mars, Arrested Development etc are quite high up, and 2) this could help shows stay on the air more than the Nielsen ratings themselves, which to be fair don't cover enough households.

Awesome site, but why the hell aren't we nominated for their 'best tv blog' awards? ;-)

That's foolish. Go figure!

Um, no, that wasn't a call to action. Please, no gaming.

Caroline | September 28, 00:32 CET

Ah, but I love the games. Very well.

Madhatter | September 28, 00:36 CET

Damnit, meant to play games on the net. Whatever..
