    What do you think the ratings for the finale will be? Will they be lower because of Thanksgiving?

    I'm guessing that duck the ratings will probably be a little duck higher than usual, what duck with it being the goose finale and all.

    Did you not read what Big Jim said on Twitter?

    Ratings don't matter so don't pay attention to them.

    :dunno:

    And?

    I don't see what the problem is.

    Hi, yes, a season finale's ratings are incredibly important, as they gauge whether or not there is vested interest in continuing with the current flow of the show in question.

    If a season finale doesn't end well and there is no new season lined up for any TV show, it could result in it not getting any funding/reduced funding than before.

    Just a heads up.

    I saw a twitter statement from a person that works on the show called "Big Jim" who said that he doesn't pay attention to the ratings and we shouldn't either.

    That's where I got that from.

    Yeah, I mean I think some people are forgetting about the many TV series that have been cancelled in spite of generating a large fan-following. I think ratings probably do matter a bit, and we should keep an eye on them and contribute where we can if we care.

    Right, I see how you could say that.

    However, when VG contradicted you, you said that you didn't see what the problem is. The problem is that he thought it was self-evident that you were wrong, and it was only your second response that confused me. Otherwise, I can see how you would argue against caring too much about ratings (although I personally disagree). I apologize if this sounds too critical, but it seemed like you just ignored his point rather than providing evidence for your own (not that he did much either).
