The good news about the Supernatural season nine premiere just keeps on coming! Here’s a press release from The CW sharing the good news about the Live +3 DVR Ratings (the number that counts for advertisers):

Coming up in a few weeks are the DVR +7 ratings. I’ll be curious to see if there’s any further gains from that.

I for one take offense to these ratings. What, so people over 49 don’t watch tv or don’t count in the ratings? Maybe it is the age factor that drives me to take offense but I know I am not the only 60 year old watching and loving this show. Sorry just had to vent. Thanks for listening. You can delete me now if you want to. 🙂
No, you are not the only 60 year old watching the show. My husband and I are right there with ya. I guess the boomers just don’t count anymore! Lol
you tell ’em ladies! 😆
Oh thank goodness, there are more of you out there. 😉 I just have not found the upside of this getting old thing especially since I don’t seem to fit the cookie cutter mold so many have put the “mature” group of people into.
#4 Trucklady – Getting old is definitely not for the faint of heart! Lol. I am also happy to find a kindred spirit on the site. I thought I was the only person this age here.
