Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mistwell" data-source="post: 627300" data-attributes="member: 2525">If you PROMISE that, if proof is provided, you will concede on this discussion and drop it, then I will go get the proof.  Otherwise, it would be futile - I would be wasting my precious hours digging up info just so you can say "I need more, that doesn't persuade me". Deal?I feel the percentage of sci-fi shows that are serialized is higher than non-sci-fi shows in a material way. Sure, there are episodic and serialied shows in all genres. I just think sci-fi has a significanltly higher perecentage than other genres.If you think your own arguement is not valid for Firefly...then why did you bring it up in THIS thread?Please don't be rude. That's the second time you have accused me of not paying sufficient attention to what you say, and you were wrong the first time so I would think you would be a bit mor polite about it the second time.  We are having a discussion.  We are going point by point, through dozens of points.  If someone misses one thing, or misinterprets one thing, it doesn't mean they were not paying attention to what you were saying.  Please be polite.You've said this however "If the system is broken now, it has been so for years. If the networks really were making a good faith effort to fix it, then it would have gotten fixed. They've had the money and the time, if they really wished to apply it." So by implication you feel the system should have been "fixed", but that it hasn't been for nefarious reasons.  You then went on to discuss a method of eliminating the ratings system entirely through public television (how this eliminates the system I still don't know, since you would think public television would still want to show things that the most number of people would want to watch, and therefore would want to use Neilsen also).  That appeared to be your "fix".  If I am wrong about that, then so be it. But my being wrong didn't come from a lack of attention to what you have said. More unecessary rudeness, and the second time you have taken such an extreme sarcastic stance.  If this is going to continue, then I think the conversation should end here.  I'm all in favor of a civil discussion, but not if you are going to get all catty.</blockquote>
