Good stuff Olbermann cited an Orioles-Pirates series from the 70s. Sports Media Watch couched otherwise strong numbers for Game 2 on Saturday night as �baseball�s fifth-lowest-rated World Series game of all time.� No one talks about �NCIS� like that. But what if they did? �NCIS� was the highest-rated entertainment show in the fall of 2012. It got a 9.8 rating. In 1998, the highest rated primetime show was �E.R.� It got an 18.8. That�s 48% higher. Indeed, if �NCIS� were on in 1998 and got the same ratings, it wouldn�t have cracked the top ten. I never looked at it like that.....interesting
