Selected Nielsen Comparisons

Continuing comparisons, cause I still find them interesting. The numbers
are based on Weekly Nielsen finals.

The numbers represent viewers, in millions.

Comparing the top WB shows to the top UPN shows (3 million plus)
Sorted by average for new episodes (I doubt that any show not on this list
has any chance at all of being on the new CW next season)

I only read these for your commentary, you know...
