I guess it is the statistician in me coming out. But you do have to admit those Youtube numbers are quite a difference. I mean if over 24,000 people actually took the time to watch a preview of the show, and the other sitcoms have less than half of that then there has to be more buzz and interest than you think, and the statiscal poll backs it up.

I overreacted by saying those things, and I do apologize. I guess I sort of flew of the handle, because I knew that a show like The Big Bang Theory (just using that as an example) was on that scientific poll buzz list, and I knew it was very, very popular on Youtube, which is a better measurement of online buzz then almost anything.

I was just discussing last night how last year I was really excited for/interested in many new shows, but this year I feel like September is nearly upon us and I haven't heard enough about most new shows to look forward to them. However, I noticed that this year Fox doesn't have any "early" starts like they did last year (Prison Break, Bones, etc), which may be slowing down the pre-season hype. With all shows starting later, networks don't have to worry about someone filling out their dance card in late August, and then not be open to something new a month later.

I looked at the new sitcoms and here are the hits for their previews (dramas I did not do, too many) : 1. The Big Bang Theory 24,103 2. Cavemen 10,872 3. Samantha Who ? 9,160 4. Aliens in America 8,592 5. Back To You 4,761 6. Carpoolers 2,185 Judging by that doesn't that say The Big Bang Theory has buzz ? Of course it does, and the SCIENTIFIC poll backs it up by saying it tied for fifth in intent to watch. So people are obviously interested, and CBS is running tons of promos for it so they know it, too. Just go to CBS during their Monday sitcoms you will see promo after promo for The Big Bang Theory, and I saw 2-3 promos for this show during 60 minutes the other day and during their football games, too. Look, I am not going to say you didn't do work on this, but The Big Bang Theory is one you clearly missed. And my personal opinion is with Chuck Lorre behind it, this show will be a big hit.
