July 10
Welcome to Day 25! The forums are back and so are we, with perhaps the weirdest Cliffhanger Week update of all:
Be here tomorrow for Day 26, which will be brought to you by the letter Z. And the number, uh, 26.

Gosh, been a while since I've seen one of these (girlfirend lists, I mean).
Tell me, what is Sweeps? I've heard this mentioned loads of times in connection with American TV, but I've no idea what it actually means.

There are three periods (November, March, and May) during the traditional TV season (Sept-June) when networks measure ratings to determine what prices they'll set for advertising spots for the following year. In order to jack up ratings as high as possible, they'll run event programming, do stunt casting (Spiner on ENT, for example), or have big splashy season finales.
of course, since it's not like it's a surprise that those months are the ones being measured, it rather defeats the purpose, and the nets are kind of shifting towards year-round programming anyway to compete with cable, the Sweeps (and Nielsen ratings, for that matter) really need to be ditched.

^ ah, but don't forget, the Nielsen ratings are what could've kept TOS on the air, (and what influenced Paramount to put it in syndication)
