Must be some esoteric, oddly metered rung of the Nielsen ratings, the 14 of you who care about such matters are probably thinking. Not exactly a Season Pass roster for geezers and pinheads (with the possible exception of Stargate Atlantis, anyway). The Beijing Summer Olympic Games and the Democratic National Convention made dents last month, but they were on every damn channel all the damn time-how could they damn not?īut elsewhere, the summer TV hot list looked very different: Showtime’s Weeds, BBC’s Top Gear, Sci-Fi’s Stargate Atlantis, AMC’s Mad Men and USA’s Burn Notice were all fixtures in the Top 10. The biggest TV hits of the summer (in relative terms June-August viewership is always low, even if you can’t afford gas to get away from the tube) were crap, shows your grandparents and slower officemates just looove: America’s Got Talent, So You Think You Can Dance? and Wipeout on the reality side Criminal Minds, 60 Minutes and Two & a Half Menreruns on the scripted tip.
