Um, I’m not seeing any actual ratings. Nothing appears to be clickable, either. ???

Fixed; thanks. What would I do without you?

Aw, you’re sweet. But I don’t see Judging Amy in the ratings anywhere! ;)

OK, what does it mean when the Oscars come in first place for the week, but the show was the lowest-rated Oscars since the ’70s?

Truly appreciate getting the ratings each week, even when they are shortened, like this week’s. I wonder if Marc Kristopher of KTRS is aware that more viewers watched the Academy Awards than American Idol? I am sure he will issue a retraction.
