I agree with that and with Jon (they aren't mutuall exclusive). But I also think people have lost interest in the show plain and simple. The online presence isn't anything like what it used to be, either. (Online and ratings aren't always connected but when both have significantly reduced you know something is up.)

I think it was the *huge* lag in between episodes in Season 4. And the first half of Season 4 was not very good (pre-iOMG). So they had sub-par episodes and they made people wait a long time for those sub-par episodes.

But I do think the Nielsen system needs to be radically overhauled. Very much so. But the switch in boxes doens't explain the horrible ratings all by itself.
