Comprehensive Ratings List anywhere?
Anyone know if there is a complete listing of weekly ratings anywhere on the web? I can only find top 10 or 20 weekly shows. Just would like to see how my Season passes are doing and whether i should invest time in a show that looks like it is going to be cancelled. Thanks, bruce

The answer to your question is NO. Nielsen keeps a very close tab on its ratings and doesn't allow websites to publish them in full.
The Futon Critic does publish the "fast nationals" on a daily basis, though, if you are looking for info on a particular show.
Zap2it also covers ratings.

The USA Today does publish the full ratings list in it's newspaper. I don't remember what day they publish (Tuesday?) but you can try there.

According to the blurb at the top of The Futon Critic's ratings page:
Quote:
PLEASE DO NOT COPY OR REPRODUCE THIS INFORMATION TO OTHER WEB SITES, FORUMS, NEWSGROUPS, ETC.
Why do we have this big nasty warning? Because Nielsen Media Research forbids us from archiving its data beyond the current week. So if a ratings list taken from us appears elsewhere, we're responsible. Yes, it sucks, but we still have to respect their wishes.
Why are we only showing the top 20? Nielsen forbids us from showing anything beyond the top 20 shows of the week. Yes, we realize this sucks but, again, it beats getting sued.

Therefore, it appears that Nielsen doesn't like the rest of the data given out freely, since this is what they charge the networks and the advertisers big bucks for.
