If you liked "New Series- Compared!,"  just wait for the new season. It's just like "NS-C!," only with the older series you have come to love. Sure, you may not care, and the last season may have been one too many for you, but we promise you'll love the new one! Particularly if you're in the age group 18-49, or, better yet, 18-34!

But in reality, the new season probably won't do as well as the last one, despite JustTV's best hopes. Competition from other websites will wear our viewership down. Age will cause our "viewers" to lose interest and move on to other, more exciting websites. And even if the new season is good, maybe viewers have just forgotten about us. Maybe we're not comforting enough in this post 9/11 world.

This is what alot of returning series must have been wondering when they returned from summer vacation in September. Alot of series took a big deep in viewership, while others prospered. But just as in the new series section, how can you say which series are underperforming and which series are heating things up? Well, here's a way.

There are three categories, each with a base total of 100 points. The first is of how the series is doing this season compared to last season (ie- "Dark Angel" is holding 50.1% of it's audience from last season, which equals 50.1 points). The second category is of how the show is doing compared to what aired in its timeslot last season ("Angel" is holding 77.3% of the timeslot aud, giving it 77.3 points). And the third category is how much of it's lead-in it's holding. For 8pm series, the "timeslot" category is double counted. Add them together and you get a number. Since 300 would be the base total, anything above is good, below is bad, horrible depending on how far below.

On to the show.
