You can't be serious. THat isn't how statistics work. You do understand how aeverages work right? You are taking the over 7 million viewers of iOMG and including them to create an average to support people don't like Seddie. It doesn't make sense. Not to mention the way Season 4 worked you are taking viewership from two years ago and comparing it to viewership now when overall cable viewers have dropped.

You have to look at weekly viewership and ratings. Your typical episode pre-iOMG was in the 4-5 million viewership range. Your average episode post-iOMG was also in the 4-5 million viewership range. That range is what matters. Averages don't work because it inlcudes the absolute highest with the lowest without factoring in outside issues with that.
