Here are the weekly TV ratings, by number of viewers.

I wonder why football gets so many different parts of a broadcast to count as separate shows on the ratings list The actual game, the pre-kick, the post game, the bridge (which I assume is…well, I don’t assume anything anymore, though I would guess it’s the time between the pre-kick and the kickoff, though I could be wrong), and now something called “gun.” Or maybe it’s “GUN.” Not sure what that is, but it came at 10:16pm, just before the post game show, which started at 10:22pm.Why don’t other shows get that sort of treatment Why don’t sitcoms and dramas get their shows split up like this
