CPS Boy, this thread is supposed to be for quick questions and answers only - not long discussions (and anything about gender/sexuality turns into a long discussion here).

Xita said something to that effect some posts ago, FYI.

[judy]

Hey CPS Boy, why not post your question (a worthwhile one) in the Lesbian/Bi/Gay/Trans Issues thread?

I have a quick question. Why am I still awake????

Leaving now.

[Dr.G]

A very good idea Judy, I will repost these posts there.

[TaraMaclay]

Ok, really stupid question: I was going to make a post in the W/T Sims section on the 'Pens' Board. But after searching EVERY page, I still couldn't find it. Though i was able to find a lot on fanfic that i had losrt from when I switched computers.

I hate to ask but, can someone give me the link.

Thanks in adavance.

When referring to Season 6 episodes by number, do we go:

1. Bargaining
2. After Life
3. Flooded etc.

Or is it:

1. Bargaining 1
2. Bargaining 2
3. After Life etc.

Just a small thing, but it's beginning to bother me. And I might as well try and find out before I write my episode reviews for those shows.

[Dr.G]

The Bargaining counts as 2 episodes so Afterlife is episode 3.

Hello! Can somebody explain to me the nature of TV episode sweeps?

My gf ordered it from the website when it was still on pre-order. We've heard nothing since, even after writing them twice and asking for an update on the order. We e-mailed them again about two weeks ago and they still haven't replied.

I'm not a Brit, but I too have heard nothing about the CD I ordered and am not getting any responses to my emails to Music for Elevators. Anybody know anything????

Katie, I'm no expert and ratings are a very complicated subject, but here's the gist of "Sweeps".

"Sweeps" periods are times of the TV season (November, Feb., May, and July) when the advertising price of commerical time is determined depending on a given network's ratings (ie, how many people are watching which shows).

So, most networks put shiny, exciting, new episodes on during the sweeps periods of the standard TV season (November, Feb., and May) to get the highest possible ratings and therefore more money for commercial time.

To get ratings over the summer while their "established" shows are on break or in pre-production for the next season, networks sometimes try out inexpensive new shows, "Survivor" being a prime example. Overall, ratings during the summer are lower than the rest of the year; partly because it's traditionally "summer re-runs" for favorite shows, and people are traveling, etc.

Hope that answers your question.

Well, the ratings system in North America uses boxes attached to the tuners of various random viewers, to see which channel they have on. This data, along with statistics on the residents of the household, goes into databases where they calculate which shows had the highest ratings in a particular timeslot, and with which demographic.

Sweeps is a period when this data is analyzed more closely; individual broadcasting stations get their own ratings data, not just the parent network. As a result, these periods tend to be where programming is more likely to be watched; series get first-run episodes, the movies shown tend to be blockbuster hits or TV premieres, and mini-series and other events have big names and budgets.

The sweeps months are November, February, May, and to a lesser extent, August.

Thus, you'll usually find a run of first-run episodes for a show you watch during those months.

The other people have done a pretty good job of explaining this, but it's what I do for a living so I figured I could get more specific.

Ratings in the US: In large markets the household ratings are measured continually (metered markets), by the boxes on the television set mentioned before. However, these boxes do not give any exact demographic data and, like I said before, they are only in big markets. There are 53 'metered' markets and 209 markets total in the US.

So, to get the exact demographic data Nielsen has people fill out diaries. In these diaries they write down the statistics about themselves and what they are watching. This is done is every market in February, May, July and November. In about twenty-five markets this is also measured in January and October, and in the top five markets March as well.

Sweeps are important because those for months are the only time we have complete information about what everyone is watching in the US. Those ratings are used to estimate ratings for the next year, and thus figure out how much the stations can charge their advertisers. It's all about money, baby.

I hope that made some sense. If it didn't just ask and I'll try to clarify.

So I saw "Tales of the Slayer" at my local comic store.

Is it worth it?

How is Amber's story?

This thread is for anyone who has a What ep. had the scene with W/T, where Willow described her eggs as two boobs looking at her, was it 'Forever'.

I went through my eps. trying to find the scene and maybe I fastforwarded over it.

[This message has been edited by WillTara (edited March 22, 2002).]

[Ange]

Yeah Pandora, the episode where Willow describes Tara eggs, as little boobs, is "Forever". Ep 17 in season 5. That's where we had the Sassy Eggs line.

Thanks ANGE, I'll look at the ep. again

hey all

I saw in a guestbook that there's this rumor about Alyson Hannigan getting pinned to a wall by some fans during a posting board party and was saved by Alexis Denisof. Is this true cos it sounds real unpleasant on Aly's side.

------------------
She's my girl. She looks at the world in a special way, and I feel special because I'm part of her world. She gets my jokes, she understands. It's magic. I trust her. She'll always find me. She's my girl. - Willow

[shellybean]

I haven't heard anything about those rumors and God I hope its not true. Poor Aly!
And where'd you get your signature quote from? Is it from the comic? Because if it is, its kinda cool how they take lines from the show and add to it. But since I haven't read any of the comics I guess I wouldn't know.
Lets not forget though that its Aly's Birthday on Sunday the 24th!!!

"But with Tara, I just know she likes Willow, and she already has one of those" – "Family"

"Honey, in case you didn’t hear me the first six-thousand times, no more teleportation spells." – "Crush"

Willow: "I figured, life goes by so fast, if you don’t write stuff down it just gets…lost."
Tara: "Down to every last bagel"
Willow: "Down to every last everything I do with you" – "Forever"

[Shinnen]

um... how come I'm unregistered in this thread??? Strange....

Anyway, I read this rumour from http://www.fontaine.comcen.com.au/
website's guestbook. It's all written in caps. It's very irresponsible of those fans to do that if it's true. I mean, that's not even giving Alyson respect, or any person in that kind of situation.

My signature quote was taken off a BtVS season 5 trading card. Love this quote.. heh heh...I think I've repeated this many times but still... love this quote. It's seldom used and I think it's so special.

[Hugin]

It seems awfully late for news like this to come out. In the days following the PBP, there's a flurry of picture posting and anecdote telling about what all went on.

If we didn't immediately hear about any unpleasantness or "incidents" from fans who were there, and no negative follow-up comments from Joss or anyone at the Bronze or Bronze Beta...I wouldn't worry about it too much.
