Here's an interesting press release. With DVR playback, the Hawaii Five-O Pilot actually scored 17.59M viewers and 5.0 in the demos. Looks like the initial ratings numbers are very deceiving. Keep in mind, these are people who DVR'd the show and watched within 7 days with commercials.

Hell, if it keeps the show on the air, let those families watch the commercials on their DVR's.

Nearly half of DVR users watch the commercials.
I don't see the big advantage of being able to fast-forward through commercials. Seems like more work to me than watching the show live. I rarely give my undivided attention to TV shows anyway. During the commercial breaks, I just do something else.

I skip through the commercials, and then whatever the "something else" is, it gets my undivided attention once the show ends in 43 minutes. I know that some DVRs don't exactly make commercial skipping easy, but the Dish version is about as painless as possible. Press one button, skip ahead 30 seconds per press. And if you go a bit too far, press another button and skip back 10 seconds. Most commercial breaks last around 5 seconds for me.

I don't think it defeats the purpose of the DVR--the DVR still lets you watch whenever you want, pause TV, etc. Skipping commercials is just one of the benefits some people don'tcare about. I know some people who just use the DVR like this, but watch the commercials.
That said, those people are NUTS! As Michael Corvin said, shedding 17 minutes off every hour of TV is a HUGE timesaver. And a lot of times, you can watch a 30-minute show in less than 20 minutes if you skip intros, credits, recaps, etc.

As far as watching Hawaii Five-O on your DVR and having your viewership count for it's rating, if your going to commit to being a Nielsen family, then obviously you have no choice, but to watch the commercials.

That's an interesting point. I never considered that before. I've always thought it would be cool to be a Nielson family, but if it required watching commercials, honestly, there's NO WAY I'd do it.

I'm not sure that it would provide an accurate reflection of viewers as a whole if the Nielsen DVRs prevent commercial skipping. Since most DVRs allow skipping, how would Nielsen statistics be able to say what percentage of non-Nielsen viewers skipped versus those who didn't?
I would think their DVRs would have to be as capable as anyone else, and then keep track of how many Nielsen families actually skipped.

Good point.

All I know is, I'm glad I'm not in charge of deciding which data points need to be gathered, and then figuring out exactly how I'm supposed to gather, sort, and weight them. Once upon a time it was probably relatively easy to do, if a bit more tedious, given the lack of network technology. Now it just seems like a huge headache, fraught with potential inaccuracies. And networks depend on this stuff for their ad revenue.

You make it sound like she's already over the hill at 36. She takes damn great care of herself and that's why she looks younger.

So we're supposed to believe that a prison guard would take fifty grand (on the word of a felon to be paid when he gets out) to help an inmate escape killing three other prison guards in the process?
