2nd season wasn't so bad if you know which episodes NOT to watch.
See : Dark Angel: 2nd season episodes that don't suck on this board.
Edit: and the finale was awsome!

Oh, I thought they already did that. They won't let anyone have a box unless their IQ is 90 or below.

People who really get into their series don't have Neilson boxes, they want to see the show, not push extra buttons, and the people who have them don't give a crap; they leave it on the same channel for hours, or aren't smart enough to follow the plots to anything more complicated than reality shows.
Edit: Has anyone here ever even HEARD of someone they know, or even someone they don't know actually having one of those things? Hmmm... is this another conspiracy?

Sometimes you get a box and sometimes they just give you a diary to keep.

A friend of my parents was chosen to do a diary.

Yesterday, I was talking to a friend of mine and she got another call. So she takes that call and then gets back to me in a few seconds. Know who was calling...?

Nielsen!

And she turned them down! I was like "What you
mean you turned them down! That's the only way to get your opinion to really count! All my life I've wanted to be Nielsen, etc., etc., ect.!

She found this reaction quite amusing.

In other words: Firefly is Fox TV's best seller. Idiots.

F*X is probably looking at the numbers right now and saying, "Hey, let's replace this show that nobody's watching with a reality show about dancing bears. Dancing shows are popular right now." I can just hear them...

Dude...replace "dancing bears" with "bears mauling people" and I'd totally watch that. It's like on Family Guy:

I have just re-watched season1 of Dark Angel and Firefly at the same time, and just had to come and express my bitterness here, where I knew a LOT of people would agree with me. I mean, surely the ratings weren't that bad, I hear Dark Angel was second only to the abysmal American Idol. So what happened? Being all Britishy, and therefore not having FOX, I can't really say, but if they keep cancelling all their decent shows, it has to be bad! I just love these two shows and am particularly distressed about Dark Angel, since there isn't even going to be a movie for that. I'm just generally very disgruntled at the moment, don't mind me and my little rant. I just had to say something. Is there any way to get in touch with FOX so I can moan at them personally?

...and we will call it...this land...

HEY BETTER FUCKING ADD TSCC TO THAT LIST, GORRAM IT!! I HATE FOX WITH A PASSION, AND THEY HAVE LET US DOWN TO MANY TIMES.

This is way late, but in regards to Nielsen ratings, my family actually did it once (not when it counted, unfortunately :( ). Ours was the diary thing. They don't actually send you an entire line-up of pilots to watch from multiple networks, you only get a few shows. Most of the time they're brain-numbingly dumb sitcoms. But there also doesn't seem to be any consideration in regards to stuff the volunteer might enjoy, so I'm sure other people getting all the good shows report that they hate them.

Long live internet broadcasting.
