Maybe it says that the people who are most responsive (susceptible?) to 
advertising are people who thrive on pie-in-the-face humor.  Well, maybe 
that doesn't explain Neilsen numbers.  How about this:  in my house, at 
least, the bulk of the TV time gets logged by my 11-year-old.  Like 95% 
of it.  Maybe that's the case in Neilsen households, too.  We'll know for
sure as soon as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Superboy go prime-time.
